The doctors reported in their case study that the man had met a female acquaintance at a hotel where he had consumed two 50mg Viagra-brand sildenafil tablets. The anonymous individual, who had no notable prior medical or surgical history, was also drinking at the time, according to them.
The 41-year-old experienced "uneasiness" in the morning. His female friend pushed him to seek medical attention because he was also throwing up. He told her that he had experienced the similar symptoms earlier as well, which allayed her worries.

He was taken to the hospital right away after his condition began to deteriorate. But unfortunately, he was pronounced dead when he arrived. The investigation found that the guy passed away from a cerebrovascular haemorrhage, which occurs when the brain receives less oxygen.
The study said, "A 41-year-old male with no significant past medical and surgical history was staying at a hotel room with a female friend; he had consumed 2 tablets of sildenafil (50 mg each) and alcohol at night. The next morning, he developed uneasiness following which he was taken to the Hospital where he was declared dead on arrival."

The doctors discovered a 300g mass of clotted blood during post-mortem examinations. They came to the conclusion that his death was caused by a concoction of alcohol and medication as well as a history of high blood pressure.
The purpose of publishing this unusual example, according to the study's authors, is to increase public awareness of the dangers of using erectile dysfunction medicine without a doctor's prescription.
