Doctor who lied has ‘disabled’ fitness to practise :Viagra tribunal

A fertility specialist who forged prescriptions in order to obtain free Viagra has been found to have “impaired” fitness to practise by a medical tribunal.

The tribunal may now impose sanctions on his registration.

Dr. Harsit Tejura, a consultant gynaecologist, lied about buying 30 packs of the tablets to save £360 while having an extramarital affair.

Terjura was caught after a pharmacy manager became suspicious of his frequent visits and alerted the police.

In September, Tejura, of Old St Mellons, Cardiff, was fined £1,000 after he admitted fraud by false representation and theft at Cardiff Crown Court.

He was also handed a community order with a 25-day rehabilitation requirement.

The court heard he could have legally purchased Viagra, a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction, but “not in the same volume”.

Police raided his office at the Centre for Reproduction and Gynaecology Wales in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taf, where they found he had stolen the anaesthetic Fentanyl and another controlled drug.

The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service will now consider what sanctions, if any, to impose on Dr Tejura’s registration.
