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 change the renowned – and instantly recognisable – little blue tablet.

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets could soon be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, meaning it does not require 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 first concerned the marketplace in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was very first developed in the 1980s as a heart disease medication, however trial participants discovered it had an uncommon negative effects – regular erections.

Now, Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand, has looked for a hallmark in the UK for the brand-new kind of the drug, Viagra ODF.

Viatris has actually already released the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be preferable for numerous customers.

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

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

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

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

The 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 newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘great indication’ 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 appears Viatris intends to release the product within the next few years.

However, approving a trademark would not ensure the ODF might be offered and it would need to be approved 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 typically known by the brand Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs sold under the brand names Cialis and Levitra, were dished out by the health service in 2023

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

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

Health officials stated online merchants flouting guidelines lagged the fake materials with the majority of being imported from nations like India without an appropriate licence.

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