New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The unique diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, meaning it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of males 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 first came to the market in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

It was first developed in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, but trial participants discovered it had an uncommon adverse effects – regular erections.

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

Viatris has currently introduced the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more suitable for lots of clients.

The – which can trigger embarrassment for some clients – has actually been transformed and a brand-new dissolvable type may be offered to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image

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

She added: ‘Some men might still be finding the idea of having Viagr humiliating, however I would hope that guys’s health and conversations about sexual health have carried on since Viagra was very first created.’

Ms Govind thinks this brand-new design is a ‘favorable step forward’.

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, informed the paper that the hallmark application is a ‘good indicator’ it will be available within the next 5 years.

She explained trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a constant duration of five years or more after registration. As an outcome, it appears Viatris plans to release the product within the next couple of years.

However, approving a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF might be sold and it would need to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency initially.

It’s anticipated to cost the very same as the tablet variation and to be offered in the exact same doses.

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

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

More products of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than knock-off variations of painkillers like morphine.

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