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 replace the iconic – and instantly recognisable – little blue pill.

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets could soon be replaced by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, implying it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of guys 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 pertained to the marketplace in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was first developed in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, but trial individuals noticed it had an unusual negative effects – regular erections.

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

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

She added: ‘Some males may still be finding the concept of having Viagr awkward, however I would hope that males’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually proceeded considering that Viagra was first created.’

Ms Govind thinks 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 attorney at Mewburn Ellis, informed the newspaper that the hallmark application is a ‘excellent sign’ it will be available within the next 5 years.

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

However, approving a trademark would not ensure the ODF could be sold and it would need to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency first.

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

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

This comes after dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s biggest counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless fake blue pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health officials stated online sellers flouting regulations lagged the counterfeit materials with a lot of being imported from countries like India without a proper licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), show 2.6 million dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best called Viagra, were confiscated last year.

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