Viagra, the drug for treating male impotence, will not be available for patients in Germany through the nation's statutory health insurance system. A federal government committee of doctors and insurance funds that decides on drug matters agreed unanimously that the funds should not pay for Viagra and ruled out exceptions to this rule in those cases where impotence is linked to other illnesses.
