For writing false prescriptions in order to receive Viagra free, a married doctor was suspended from practice for six months.
Consultant gynaecologist Dr Harsit Tejura lied about acquiring 30 packs of the pills to save £360 while having an extra marital affair.
After a pharmacist manager noticed the doctor’s frequent visits, he alerted police.
Tejura, of Old St Mellons, Cardiff, admitted fraud by false representation and theft at Cardiff Crown Court last year and was fined £1,000 but avoided jail.
