New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to release a new kind of the drug that will replace the renowned – and immediately recognisable – little blue tablet.

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets might soon 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 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 came to the market in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

It was very first established in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, however trial individuals saw it had an unusual negative effects – frequent erections.

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

Viatris has already launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be more suitable for lots of customers.

The distinct tablets – which can trigger embarrassment for some clients – has actually been transformed and a new dissolvable type may be readily available to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image

‘Tablets are not constantly bearable to patients and also in some cases the size of tablets might put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, informed The Telegraph.

She added: ‘Some men may still be discovering the principle of having Viagr humiliating, but I would hope that men’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually moved on considering that Viagra was very first formulated.’

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

The brand-new dissolvable medication is believed to most likely come to the UK imminently.

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, told the newspaper that the hallmark application is a ‘excellent indicator’ it will be readily available within the next 5 years.

She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a continuous duration of 5 years or more after registration. As an outcome, it appears Viatris plans to launch the item within the next few years.

However, granting a trademark would not ensure the ODF could be sold and it would have to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first.

It’s expected to cost the very same as the tablet variation and to be offered in the very same doses.

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly understood by the trademark name Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs offered under the brand names Cialis and Levitra, were dished out by the health service in 2023

This comes after dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s biggest fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless phony blue pill were taken by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health authorities stated online retailers flouting policies were behind the fake materials with most being imported from nations like India without a proper licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), show 2.6 million dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best called Viagra, were seized in 2015.

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

While all medications carry potential negative effects drugs from undependable sources may either not work or bring additional components or contaminants like heavy metals or other drugs that might be harmful.
