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 immediately recognisable – little blue pill.

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, meaning it does not require to be taken with water.

About half of men 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 company Pfizer.

It was very first established in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, but trial participants discovered it had an unusual negative effects – frequent erections.

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

Viatris has actually already introduced the Viagra ODF in Canada and it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more suitable for many customers.

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

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

She included: ‘Some males might still be discovering the principle of having Viagr humiliating, but I would hope that men’s health and discussions about sexual health have carried on given that Viagra was very first formulated.’

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

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, told the newspaper that the hallmark application is a ‘good sign’ it will be available within the next five 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 means to introduce the product within the next few years.

However, giving a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF could be sold and it would need to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency initially.

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

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly known by the brand Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs offered under the brand Cialis and Levitra, were dispensed by the health service in 2023

This comes after dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s greatest counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of fake blue tablet were taken by UK regulators in 2023.

More products of the erectile dysfunction drug were discovered than knock-off versions of painkillers like morphine.

Health authorities said online sellers flouting policies were behind the fake supplies with most 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 doses of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best referred to as Viagra, were confiscated in 2015.

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

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