New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets could soon be replaced by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, suggesting it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of males over 40 suffer erectile dysfunction in the UK and in 2015 there was a record 4.57 million prescriptions for Viagra on the NHS.

The drug initially came to the marketplace in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

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

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

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

The distinctive tablets – which can cause shame for some patients – has actually been transformed and a new dissolvable type might be available to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image

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

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

Ms Govind believes this new style is a ‘favorable step forward’.

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, informed the newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘good sign’ it will be offered within the next 5 years.

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

However, granting a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF could be offered and it would need to be approved 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 exact same doses.

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

This follows dodgy Viagra was discovered to be Britain’s most significant counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless fake blue tablet were taken by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health authorities stated online retailers flouting regulations were behind the counterfeit supplies with a lot of being imported from nations like India without an appropriate 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 referred to as Viagra, were seized in 2015.

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

While all medications bring possible side impacts drugs from undependable sources might either not work or bring additional components or impurities like heavy metals or other drugs that could be hazardous.
