New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, implying 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 pertained to the marketplace in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

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

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

Viatris has currently released the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be more effective for numerous clients.

The unique tablets – which can cause embarrassment for some patients – has been reinvented and a new dissolvable type might be readily available to Brits in the next five 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 added: ‘Some men may still be discovering the principle of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that men’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually moved on given that Viagra was first developed.’

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

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 newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘excellent sign’ it will be available 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 appears Viatris means to release the product within the next couple of years.

However, granting a hallmark would not ensure the ODF might be offered and it would need to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency first.

It’s expected to cost the like the tablet version and to be readily available in the same dosages.

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly understood by the brand name Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs sold under the trademark name 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 million of phony blue pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health authorities said online sellers flouting policies lagged the fake materials with a lot of being imported from countries like India without an appropriate licence.

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

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

While all medications bring potential side results drugs from unreliable sources may either not work or bring extra active ingredients or pollutants like heavy metals or other drugs that might be harmful.
