New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill
The makers of Viagra are set to release a new ‘discrete’ kind of the drug that will change the iconic – and instantly recognisable – little blue tablet.
The unique diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be changed by a pink, that liquifies on the tongue, implying 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 marketplace in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.
It was very first established in the 1980s as a heart illness medication, however trial individuals discovered it had an unusual negative effects – frequent erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand, has requested a hallmark in the UK for the new type of the drug, Viagra ODF.
Viatris has actually currently introduced the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more effective for numerous customers.
The distinct tablets – which can trigger humiliation for some patients – has actually been transformed and a new dissolvable type might be readily available to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image
‘Tablets are not always bearable to patients and likewise often the size of tablets might put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, informed The Telegraph.
She added: ‘Some men might still be finding the idea of having Viagr embarrassing, however I would hope that men’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually proceeded considering that Viagra was first formulated.’
Ms Govind thinks this brand-new style is a ‘positive step forward’.
The brand-new dissolvable medication is thought to most likely pertained to the UK imminently.
Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, told the newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘excellent indicator’ it will be readily available within the next five years.
She discussed trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a constant duration of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it seems Viatris plans to launch the product within the next couple of years.
However, granting a hallmark would not ensure the ODF might be offered and it would need to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first.
It’s anticipated to cost the like the tablet version and to be offered in the same doses.
An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly known by the brand name Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs sold 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 greatest counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of fake blue pill were taken by UK regulators in 2023.
More supplies of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than knock-off variations of pain relievers like morphine.
Health officials said online sellers flouting guidelines lagged the fake supplies 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 doses of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best called Viagra, were taken in 2015.
Another half-million dosages of tadalafil, another erectile dysfunction drug sold under the brand Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were likewise taken.
While all medications carry prospective adverse effects drugs from unreliable sources may either not work or carry additional active ingredients or contaminants like heavy metals or other drugs that could be harmful.
