New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to release a new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will replace the iconic – and quickly recognisable – little blue pill.

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets might soon be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies 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 first concerned the market in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

It was very first developed in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, however trial participants saw it had an uncommon negative effects – regular erections.

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

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

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

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

She included: ‘Some males might still be discovering the concept of having Viagr humiliating, but I would hope that guys’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually moved on because Viagra was first created.’

Ms Govind thinks this brand-new design is a ‘favorable step forward’.

The brand-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 paper that the hallmark application is a ‘great indicator’ it will be offered within the next 5 years.

She explained trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a continuous period of 5 years or more after registration. As an outcome, it seems Viatris intends to release the item within the next couple of years.

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

It’s to cost the exact same as the tablet variation and to be available in the 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 sold under the brand Cialis and Levitra, were dished out 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 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 pain relievers like morphine.

Health authorities said online retailers flouting guidelines were behind the fake materials with a lot of being imported from countries like India without an appropriate licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare items Regulatory Agency (MHRA), show 2.6 million doses of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best referred to as Viagra, were seized 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 possible negative effects drugs from undependable sources may either not work or bring extra ingredients or impurities like heavy metals or other drugs that might be dangerous.
