New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The unique diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, indicating it does not need to be taken with water.

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

It was first established in the 1980s as a heart illness medication, but trial participants noticed it had an uncommon adverse effects – regular 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 kind of the drug, Viagra ODF.

Viatris has already released the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more suitable for numerous consumers.

The distinct tablets – which can cause embarrassment for some has been reinvented and a brand-new dissolvable type may be available to Brits in the next five years. Stock image

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

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

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

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, told the newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘good sign’ it will be offered within the next five years.

She explained trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a constant duration of five years or more after registration. As a result, it appears Viatris means to launch the product within the next few years.

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

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

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more typically known by the brand Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs sold under the trademark name Cialis and Levitra, were dispensed by the health service in 2023

This follows dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s biggest counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless phony blue pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health authorities stated online retailers flouting policies lagged the counterfeit materials with the majority 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 doses 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 sold under the brand Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were also seized.

While all medications carry possible adverse effects drugs from unreliable sources might either not work or carry extra components or contaminants like heavy metals or other drugs that could be hazardous.
