New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets could soon be replaced by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, suggesting 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 market in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

It was first developed in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, however trial participants noticed it had an uncommon adverse effects – frequent 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.

Viatris has actually already released the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be more effective for numerous customers.

The distinct tablets – which can cause embarrassment for some clients – has been transformed 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 sometimes the size of tablets might put patients off having them,‘ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, told The Telegraph.

She included: ‘Some men may still be finding the idea of having Viagr humiliating, but I would hope that males’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually moved on considering that Viagra was first formulated.’

Ms Govind thinks this brand-new style is a ‘favorable 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 newspaper that the hallmark application is a ‘great indication’ it will be offered within the next 5 years.

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

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

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

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more typically known by the brand 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 comes after dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s greatest fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless fake blue tablet were taken by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health authorities stated online merchants flouting guidelines lagged the counterfeit products with many being imported from nations like India without a proper licence.

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

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

While all medications carry possible adverse effects drugs from unreliable sources might either not work or bring additional active ingredients or contaminants like or other drugs that could be unsafe.
