New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to introduce a brand-new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will change the iconic – and quickly recognisable – little blue tablet.

The unique diamond-shaped tablets might soon be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, indicating it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of men over 40 suffer erectile dysfunction in the UK and last year there was a record 4.57 million prescriptions for Viagra on the NHS.

The drug initially concerned the market in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was very first developed in the 1980s as a heart illness medication, but trial participants discovered it had an unusual negative effects – regular erections.

Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand, has actually obtained a trademark in the UK for the brand-new kind of the drug, Viagra ODF.

Viatris has already released the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be more suitable for numerous consumers.

The unique tablets – which can trigger embarrassment for some patients – has been transformed and a brand-new dissolvable type may be available to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image

‘Tablets are not constantly tolerable to clients and also sometimes the size of tablets might put clients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, informed The Telegraph.

She included: ‘Some males may still be discovering the idea of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that guys’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually moved on given that Viagra was very first created.’

Ms Govind believes this brand-new style is a ‘favorable advance’.

The new dissolvable medication is believed to likely pertained to the UK imminently.

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, told the paper that the hallmark application is a ‘excellent sign’ it will be readily available within the next five years.

She explained trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant period of five years or more after registration. As a result, it appears Viatris means to introduce the item within the next couple of years.

However, granting a trademark would not ensure the ODF might be sold and it would need to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency initially.

It’s anticipated to cost the exact same as the tablet variation and to be available in the very same doses.

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly understood by the name Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs sold under the brand Cialis and Levitra, were dispensed by the health service in 2023

This follows dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s greatest fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless phony blue tablet were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

More supplies of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than knock-off versions of pain relievers like morphine.

Health authorities said online merchants flouting guidelines were behind the fake products with the majority of being imported from nations like India without a proper licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare items Regulatory Agency (MHRA), show 2.6 million dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best referred to as Viagra, were taken last year.

Another half-million dosages of tadalafil, another erectile dysfunction drug sold under the brand Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were likewise seized.

While all medications carry prospective adverse effects drugs from undependable sources may either not work or bring extra components or contaminants like heavy metals or other drugs that could be dangerous.
