New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

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

About half of men 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 initially 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 cardiovascular disease medication, however trial participants noticed it had an unusual side result – frequent erections.

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

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

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

‘Tablets are not constantly tolerable to patients and also in some cases the size of tablets may put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, informed The Telegraph.

She added: ‘Some males may still be finding the concept of having Viagr humiliating, however I would hope that men’s health and conversations about sexual health have moved on because Viagra was very first created.’

Ms Govind thinks this new style is a ‘positive advance’.

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

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

She explained trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant duration of 5 years or more after registration. As an outcome, it seems Viatris intends to introduce the product within the next couple of years.

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

It’s expected to cost the same as the tablet version and to be offered in the very same doses.

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more frequently known by the brand name Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs offered under the brand 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 pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

More materials of the erectile dysfunction drug were discovered than knock-off variations of pain relievers like morphine.

Health officials said online retailers flouting guidelines lagged the fake materials with most being imported from countries like India without an appropriate licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare items Regulatory Agency (MHRA), reveal 2.6 million dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best understood as Viagra, were seized in 2015.

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

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