New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to launch a brand-new ‘discrete’ form of the drug that will change the renowned – and immediately recognisable – little blue tablet.

The unique diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, suggesting it does not require 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 market in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was very first developed in the 1980s as a heart illness medication, however trial individuals observed it had an unusual adverse effects – regular erections.

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

Viatris has already launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be preferable for many customers.

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

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

She included: ‘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 moved on considering that Viagra was very first formulated.’

Ms Govind thinks this brand-new design is a ‘positive advance’.

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, told the paper that the hallmark application is a ‘great indication’ it will be offered within the next five years.

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

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

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

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

This comes after dodgy Viagra was discovered to be Britain’s greatest fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of phony blue tablet were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health authorities stated online merchants flouting guidelines were behind the fake products with the majority of being imported from nations like India without a proper licence.

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

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

While all medications carry prospective negative effects drugs from undependable sources might either not work or carry extra active ingredients or impurities like heavy metals or other drugs that could be hazardous.
