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 change the renowned – and immediately recognisable – little blue pill.

The unique diamond-shaped tablets could soon be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, implying it does not require 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 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 saw it had an uncommon side effect – frequent 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 in Canada and promoted it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more suitable for lots of clients.

The unique tablets – which can cause embarrassment for some patients – has actually been reinvented and a brand-new dissolvable type might be offered to Brits in the next five years. Stock image

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

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

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

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, told the paper that the hallmark application is a ‘great indication’ it will be readily available within the next 5 years.

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

However, approving a hallmark would not ensure the ODF might be sold 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 available in the very same doses.

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more typically understood by the brand name Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs offered 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 fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of fake blue tablet were taken 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 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 items Regulatory Agency (MHRA), show 2.6 million dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best called Viagra, were taken last year.

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

While all medications carry prospective negative effects drugs from unreliable sources may either not work or carry extra active ingredients or pollutants like heavy metals or other drugs that might be harmful.
