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 replace the iconic – and immediately recognisable – little blue tablet.

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, indicating it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of guys 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 marketplace in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

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

Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand name, has requested a hallmark in the UK for the brand-new type of the drug, Viagra ODF.

‘Tablets are not always tolerable to patients and also in some cases the size of tablets might put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, told The Telegraph.

She included: ‘Some males may still be finding the concept of having Viagr awkward, however I would hope that guys’s health and discussions about sexual health have carried on given that Viagra was very first developed.’

Ms Govind believes this new design is a ‘positive action forward’.

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, informed the paper that the trademark application is a ‘excellent indicator’ it will be offered within the next five years.

She explained trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant period of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it seems Viatris plans to introduce the product within the next couple of years.

However, approving a hallmark would not ensure the ODF might be sold and it would have to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency initially.

It’s anticipated to cost the like the tablet variation and to be offered in the exact same doses.
