Thet1mes.com claims that Trillanes was admitted to the hospital on March 29 after consuming an excessive amount of Viagra.

A hospital attendant was even quoted in the article saying: “We have checked his condition and found that the honorable member has overdosed sildenafil citrate, the drug is used to treat erectile dysfunction. You can call it Viagra for the people to understand.”
