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 replace the iconic – and instantly recognisable – little blue tablet.

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets could soon be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, implying it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of men 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 concerned the marketplace in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was very first established in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, however trial participants noticed it had an unusual negative effects – frequent erections.

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

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

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

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

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

Ms Govind thinks this brand-new style is a ‘positive advance’.

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

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

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

However, granting a trademark would not ensure the ODF could be sold and it would have to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency first.

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

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more typically known by the brand 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 discovered to be Britain’s biggest fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of phony blue tablet were taken by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health officials stated online sellers flouting policies lagged the fake materials with most being imported from nations like India without an appropriate licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), show 2.6 million doses of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best called Viagra, were seized last year.

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

While all medications carry possible adverse effects drugs from undependable sources might either not work or carry extra ingredients or impurities like heavy metals or other drugs that might be dangerous.
