Medical Boo Boo

I just got off the phone with my parents. My grandma has been complaining about painful joints for some time now. For her age, it is common for their bodies to lose the capacity to make enough glucosamine. So she went to see the doc and he prescribed her some Viartril, which is basically a glucosamine supplement.
But instead of writing VIARTRIL on the prescription, he wrote VIATRIL, which is the female version of the viagra.
It would have been funny if the pharmacist really gave her some Viatril.

Oh how we laughed.

Actually, there's more to it...
The Pharmacist asked her "Why do you need these pills for your age?"
Grandma, having no idea it was Viatril, replied "Because I have been aching all over and I want to feel young again"
