Smokers trying to quit the habit were mistakenly prescribed anti-impotence drug Viagra by doctors.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said the error was due to a computer glitch at two city GP practices.
When GPs selected anti-smoking pill Zyban, computers selected sildenafil, the generic name for Viagra.
A health board spokeswoman said: "At no time was patient care affected by this as all prescriptions are subject to stringent double checking."
