New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, implying it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of guys 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 market in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

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

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

Viatris has already introduced the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be preferable for many clients.

The unique tablets – which can cause humiliation for some patients – has actually been reinvented and a new dissolvable type may be available to Brits in the next five years. Stock image

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

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

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

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, informed the newspaper that the hallmark application is a ‘excellent indication’ it will be readily available within the next five years.

She described 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 appears Viatris intends to introduce the item within the next few years.

However, granting a hallmark would not ensure the ODF might be sold and it would have to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first.

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

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly known by the brand name Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs offered 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 countless fake blue pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health officials said online merchants flouting guidelines were behind the counterfeit materials with many being imported from countries like India without a proper licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), show 2.6 million doses of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best known as Viagra, were taken last year.

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 carry potential negative effects drugs from unreliable sources may either not work or carry additional ingredients or impurities like heavy metals or other drugs that could be harmful.
