The pupils were taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading. The six boys each took one of the blue tablets, but a classmate became concerned and alerted staff at the Forest School, Winnersh, Berkshire.

The youngster and five fellow pupils, all aged 12 and 13, were taken to hospital after swallowing the powerful anti-impotence drug. A boy took his father's Viagra tablets to school and handed them out to his friends during their lunch break.
