New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, meaning it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of males 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 market in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

It was very first developed in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, however trial individuals noticed it had an unusual side effect – regular erections.

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

Viatris has actually already released the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be preferable for many consumers.

The unique tablets – which can cause embarrassment for some patients – has been reinvented and a brand-new dissolvable type may be available to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image

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

She included: ‘Some males may still be discovering the concept of having Viagr humiliating, however I would hope that males’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually carried on since Viagra was first developed.’

Ms Govind believes this new style is a ‘favorable advance’.

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, informed the paper that the hallmark application is a ‘good indicator’ it will be readily available within the next five years.

She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant duration of 5 years or more after registration. As an outcome, it seems Viatris means to release the item within the next few years.

However, granting a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF could be sold and it would have to be authorized by the & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency initially.

It’s anticipated to cost the same as the tablet version and to be offered in the very same dosages.

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

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

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

Health authorities said online sellers flouting guidelines were behind the counterfeit materials with many being imported from nations like India without an appropriate licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), show 2.6 million doses of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best referred to as Viagra, were confiscated in 2015.

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 negative effects drugs from unreliable sources might either not work or carry extra components or pollutants like heavy metals or other drugs that might be harmful.
