New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to launch a new ‘discrete’ kind of the drug that will replace the renowned – and immediately recognisable – little blue tablet.

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

About half of guys 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 pertained to the market in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

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

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

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

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

‘Tablets are not constantly to clients and likewise in some cases the size of tablets may put clients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, informed The Telegraph.

She added: ‘Some males might still be discovering the concept of having Viagr humiliating, however I would hope that men’s health and conversations about sexual health have carried on given that Viagra was first created.’

Ms Govind thinks this brand-new design is a ‘positive action forward’.

The brand-new dissolvable medication is believed to most likely come to the UK imminently.

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, informed the newspaper that the hallmark application is a ‘excellent indicator’ it will be offered within the next 5 years.

She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a continuous duration of five years or more after registration. As a result, it seems Viatris intends to release the item within the next few years.

However, giving a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF could be offered and it would have to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first.

It’s expected to cost the same as the tablet variation and to be available in the very same doses.

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly understood by the brand Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs offered under the brand names Cialis and Levitra, were dispensed by the health service in 2023

This follows dodgy Viagra was discovered to be Britain’s biggest counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of fake blue pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health officials said online retailers flouting guidelines lagged the fake products with a lot of being imported from countries like India without an appropriate 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 referred to as Viagra, were seized last year.

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

While all medications carry potential side impacts drugs from unreliable sources might either not work or carry additional ingredients or pollutants like heavy metals or other drugs that could be unsafe.
