New 'discreet' Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to release a brand-new 'discrete' kind of the drug that will change the renowned - and immediately recognisable - little blue tablet.

The unique diamond-shaped tablets might soon be changed by a pink, rectangular 'wafer' that liquifies on the tongue, meaning 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 first came to the market in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was first established in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, however trial participants observed it had an uncommon side result - frequent erections.

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

Viatris has actually already released the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being 'thin and discreet' which might be preferable for many clients.

'Tablets are not always bearable to clients and likewise often the size of tablets might put patients off having them,' Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, informed The Telegraph.

She added: 'Some males might still be discovering the principle of having Viagr humiliating, however I would hope that males's health and conversations about sexual health have carried on because Viagra was first developed.'

Ms Govind thinks this brand-new design is a 'positive step forward'.

The brand-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 trademark application is a 'excellent sign' it will be available within the next 5 years.

She discussed trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant duration of five years or more after registration. As a result, it appears 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 have to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency first.

It's to cost the exact same as the tablet variation and to be readily available in the same doses.

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more frequently understood by the brand name Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs offered under the brand name names 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 million of phony blue tablet were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

More materials of the erectile dysfunction drug were discovered than knock-off versions of pain relievers like morphine.

Health officials stated online sellers flouting policies were behind the counterfeit materials with many being imported from countries like India without a suitable licence.

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

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