New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, suggesting it does not require 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 initially came to the marketplace in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

It was first developed in the 1980s as a heart illness medication, but trial participants noticed it had an unusual negative effects – regular erections.

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

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

The unique tablets – which can cause shame for some patients – has actually been reinvented and a new dissolvable type may be readily available to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image

‘Tablets are not always tolerable to patients and also in some cases the size of tablets may put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, told The Telegraph.

She added: ‘Some men may still be discovering the principle of having Viagr humiliating, but I would hope that men’s health and conversations about sexual health have moved on since Viagra was very first created.’

Ms Govind thinks this new design is a ‘favorable action forward’.

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, told the newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘great indication’ 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 duration of five years or more after registration. As an outcome, it seems Viatris means to release the product within the next few years.

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

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

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly known by the brand Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs sold 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 fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless fake blue tablet were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health officials said online sellers flouting policies lagged the counterfeit materials with the majority of being imported from countries like India without a suitable licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), reveal 2.6 million dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best called Viagra, were confiscated in 2015.

Another half-million doses of tadalafil, another erectile dysfunction drug sold under the brand name Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were also seized.

While all medications bring prospective adverse effects drugs from undependable sources may either not work or bring extra components or pollutants like heavy metals or other drugs that could be unsafe.
