New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to introduce a new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will replace the renowned – and instantly recognisable – little blue pill.

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘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 initially concerned the marketplace in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was first established in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, however trial participants saw it had an uncommon side result – frequent erections.

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

Viatris has actually already introduced the Viagra ODF in Canada and promoted it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be more effective for lots of clients.

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

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

She included: ‘Some men may still be finding the idea of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that males’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually moved on given that Viagra was very first formulated.’

Ms Govind believes this brand-new design is a ‘positive action forward’.

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

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

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

However, giving a hallmark would not ensure the ODF might be offered and it would have to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency first.

It’s anticipated to cost the same as the tablet version and to be readily available in the exact same dosages.

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more frequently known by the brand name Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs sold under the brand Cialis and Levitra, were dispensed by the health service in 2023

This comes after dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s greatest counterfeit 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 found than knock-off variations of painkillers like morphine.

Health officials stated online retailers flouting guidelines were behind the fake products with the majority of being imported from countries like India without a suitable licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), reveal 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 erectile dysfunction drug offered under the brand Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were also taken.
