New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to release a brand-new ‘discrete’ form of the drug that will change the iconic – and instantly recognisable – little blue pill.

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, suggesting 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 first concerned the market in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

It was first developed in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, but trial participants saw it had an unusual side effect – regular erections.

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

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

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

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

She included: ‘Some males may still be discovering the concept of having Viagr embarrassing, but I would hope that men’s health and discussions about sexual health have carried on 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 likely come 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 5 years.

She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a continuous period of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it seems Viatris intends to introduce the product within the next few years.

However, giving a trademark would not guarantee the ODF could be offered and it would have to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency initially.

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

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

This comes after dodgy Viagra was discovered 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 products of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than knock-off versions of painkillers like morphine.

Health officials stated online sellers flouting policies lagged the counterfeit products with the majority of being imported from countries like India without a suitable licence.

Data, from UK regulator The 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 Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were also seized.

While all medications bring potential side results drugs from unreliable sources may either not work or bring additional active ingredients or pollutants like heavy metals or other drugs that might be dangerous.
