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 iconic – and instantly recognisable – little blue pill.

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, implying it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of guys 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 pertained to the marketplace in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

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

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

Viatris has currently released the Viagra ODF in Canada and promoted it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be preferable for many clients.

The distinctive tablets – which can cause embarrassment for some clients – has actually been transformed and a new dissolvable type may be available to Brits in the next five years. Stock image

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

She added: ‘Some guys may still be the idea of having Viagr awkward, however I would hope that males’s health and discussions about sexual health have proceeded given that Viagra was very first created.’

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

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

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

She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant duration of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it appears Viatris means to launch the product within the next few years.

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

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

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

This follows dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s most significant fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of phony blue pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health authorities said online sellers flouting policies lagged the fake materials with many 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 referred to as Viagra, were seized last year.

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

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