New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The unique diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, meaning 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 first pertained to the marketplace in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

It was very first developed in the 1980s as a heart disease medication, however trial individuals noticed 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 brand-new kind of the drug, Viagra ODF.

Viatris has already launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and promoted it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more effective for numerous clients.

‘Tablets are not constantly bearable to patients and likewise often the size of tablets might put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, informed The Telegraph.

She added: ‘Some men might still be finding the principle of having Viagr humiliating, however I would hope that males’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually proceeded because Viagra was first developed.’

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

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

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

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