Six residents of Colombo who took drugs to enhance sexual drive without medical advice had died in the last three months, Colombo’s Additional Coroner Iresha Deshani Samaraweera said.

“Most of the victims were aged 20-25,” she said.

There were also persons who were in the 40 to 45 age category, she added.

“Drugs used to enhance sexual experiences must not be taken without medical advice. Do not take them without consulting your doctor. Throughout the world, people abuse these drugs and face serious consequences. These drugs were created to treat medical conditions,” Samaraweera warned.
