New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to release a brand-new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will replace the iconic – and quickly recognisable – little blue tablet.

The unique diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, it does not require 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 marketplace in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was first established in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, but trial individuals discovered it had an unusual adverse effects – frequent erections.

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

Viatris has already introduced the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be more suitable for numerous clients.

The distinct tablets – which can trigger embarrassment for some patients – has actually been reinvented and a new dissolvable type may be readily available to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image

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

She included: ‘Some men might still be finding the principle of having Viagr awkward, however I would hope that guys’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually proceeded given that Viagra was very first developed.’

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

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, informed the newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘great sign’ it will be available within the next 5 years.

She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant duration of five years or more after registration. As an outcome, it appears Viatris means to launch the item within the next couple of years.

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

It’s expected to cost the like the tablet version and to be offered in the exact same dosages.

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly known by the brand name Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs sold 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 phony blue pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health authorities said online retailers flouting regulations were behind the fake supplies with a lot of being imported from countries like India without a suitable 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 sold under the brand Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were also seized.

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