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 renowned – and instantly recognisable – little blue tablet.

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets could soon be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, meaning 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 first concerned the market in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

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

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

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