New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to launch a new ‘discrete’ kind of the drug that will change the renowned – and immediately recognisable – little blue tablet.

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets could soon be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, suggesting it does not need 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 business Pfizer.

It was very first developed in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, but trial individuals saw it had an unusual negative effects – regular erections.

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

Viatris has actually already released the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be preferable for lots of clients.

The distinct tablets – which can trigger shame for some clients – has actually been reinvented and a brand-new dissolvable type might be readily available to Brits in the next five years. Stock image

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

She added: ‘Some guys may still be discovering the principle of having Viagr awkward, however I would hope that males’s health and conversations about sexual health have moved on since Viagra was very first developed.’

Ms Govind believes this new style is a ‘positive step forward’.

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

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

She discussed trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a constant period of 5 years or more after registration. As an outcome, it seems Viatris intends to launch the product within the next few years.

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

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

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly known by the trademark name Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs offered under the brand Cialis and Levitra, were dished out by the health service in 2023

This comes after dodgy Viagra was discovered to be Britain’s biggest counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of phony blue pill were taken by UK regulators in 2023.

More products of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than knock-off versions of painkillers like morphine.

Health authorities stated online sellers flouting guidelines lagged the fake products with the majority of being imported from countries like India without a proper licence.

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

Another half-million doses of tadalafil, another erectile dysfunction drug offered under the brand Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were likewise taken.
