New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to release a brand-new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will change the renowned – and instantly recognisable – little blue pill.

The tablets could soon be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, suggesting 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 marketplace in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was first established in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, however trial participants discovered it had an uncommon side impact – frequent erections.

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

‘Tablets are not always tolerable to patients and also often the size of tablets may put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health expert, informed The Telegraph.

She included: ‘Some men may still be finding the principle of having Viagr embarrassing, however I would hope that males’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually carried on considering that Viagra was very first created.’

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

The new dissolvable medication is thought to likely come to the UK imminently.

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, told the newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘great sign’ it will be offered within the next 5 years.

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

However, approving a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF could be offered and it would have to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency initially.

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