New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to introduce a new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will change the renowned – and instantly recognisable – little blue tablet.

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, indicating 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 business Pfizer.

It was very first established in the 1980s as a heart illness medication, but trial participants observed it had an uncommon side result – frequent erections.

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

Viatris has already released the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more effective for lots of clients.

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

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

She added: ‘Some males may still be discovering the idea of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that guys’s health and conversations about sexual health have proceeded given that Viagra was very first formulated.’

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

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, informed the paper 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 used for a continuous period of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it appears Viatris means to release the item within the next few years.

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

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

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more frequently known by the brand name Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs sold under the trademark name 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 countless phony blue pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

More materials of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than of pain relievers like morphine.

Health officials said online merchants flouting policies lagged the counterfeit materials with the majority of being imported from countries like India without a proper licence.

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

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

While all medications bring prospective negative effects drugs from unreliable sources might either not work or bring extra components or impurities like heavy metals or other drugs that might be unsafe.
