New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The unique diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, suggesting it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of males 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 came to the marketplace 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, but trial individuals observed it had an unusual negative 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 actually currently introduced the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more effective for many customers.

The distinct tablets – which can trigger embarrassment for some patients – has been transformed 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 also sometimes the size of tablets might put clients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, informed The Telegraph.

She added: ‘Some males may still be finding the concept of having Viagr humiliating, however I would hope that men’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually carried on considering that Viagra was very first created.’

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

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, informed the newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘good sign’ it will be readily available within the next five 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 a result, it seems Viatris plans to introduce the product within the next couple of years.

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

It’s anticipated to cost the like the tablet version and to be available in the exact same doses.

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more frequently known by the brand name Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs sold under the brand 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 materials of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than knock-off variations of pain relievers like morphine.

Health officials stated online retailers flouting regulations lagged the counterfeit materials with the majority of being imported from nations like India without a proper licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare items Regulatory Agency (MHRA), show 2.6 million dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best referred to as Viagra, were seized in 2015.

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

While all medications carry prospective side effects drugs from undependable sources might either not work or bring extra ingredients or contaminants like or other drugs that could be dangerous.
