New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets might soon 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 guys 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 concerned the marketplace in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was first established in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, however trial participants observed it had an unusual adverse effects – regular erections.

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

Viatris has already launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more effective for lots of consumers.

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

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

She added: ‘Some guys might still be finding the concept of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that guys’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually moved on considering that Viagra was very first created.’

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

The new dissolvable medication is thought to likely pertained to the UK imminently.

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, informed the paper that the hallmark application is a ‘great sign’ 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 constant period of five years or more after registration. As a result, it seems Viatris plans to release the item within the next few years.

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 very same as the tablet version and to be available in the same dosages.

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

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

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

Health authorities stated online retailers flouting policies lagged the counterfeit materials with most being imported from nations like India without an appropriate licence.
