New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets might soon be replaced by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that liquifies 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 in 2015 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 invented by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was very first established in the 1980s as a heart disease medication, but trial individuals discovered it had an unusual side result – frequent erections.

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

Viatris has actually already launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be more suitable for lots of customers.

The distinct tablets – which can cause humiliation for some clients – has actually been reinvented and a new dissolvable type may be offered to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image

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

She added: ‘Some men may still be discovering the concept of having Viagr embarrassing, but I would hope that guys’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually proceeded considering that Viagra was very first developed.’

Ms Govind believes this new style is a ‘favorable action .

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

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

She discussed trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a continuous duration of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it appears Viatris plans to introduce the item within the next couple of years.

However, granting a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF could be sold and it would have to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first.

It’s expected to cost the very same as the tablet variation and to be readily available in the very same dosages.

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

This follows dodgy Viagra was discovered to be Britain’s biggest fake 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 discovered than knock-off variations of painkillers like morphine.

Health officials stated online sellers flouting regulations lagged the fake supplies with a lot of being imported from nations like India without an appropriate 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 known as Viagra, were seized in 2015.

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

While all medications bring potential adverse effects drugs from unreliable sources may either not work or carry extra ingredients or impurities like heavy metals or other drugs that could be unsafe.
