New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets could soon be replaced by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies 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 in 2015 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 developed by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

It was first developed in the 1980s as a heart disease medication, but trial participants observed it had an unusual side impact – regular erections.

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

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

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

‘Tablets are not constantly bearable to clients and also often the size of tablets might put clients off having them,‘ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, told The Telegraph.

She added: ‘Some guys may still be finding the concept of having Viagr embarrassing, but I would hope that guys’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually proceeded given that Viagra was first created.’

Ms Govind thinks this brand-new style is a ‘positive advance’.

The brand-new dissolvable medication is believed to likely pertained 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 ‘great sign’ it will be offered within the next five years.

She discussed trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant period of five years or more after registration. As an outcome, it seems Viatris plans to launch the item within the next couple of years.

However, approving a trademark would not guarantee the ODF might be sold and it would need to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency first.

It’s expected to cost the like the tablet variation and to be offered in the same dosages.

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more typically known by the brand name Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs sold under the brand names Cialis and Levitra, were dished out by the health service in 2023

This comes after dodgy Viagra was discovered to be Britain’s most significant counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless fake blue tablet were taken by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health officials stated online retailers flouting policies lagged the fake materials with a lot of being imported from like India without a proper 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 understood as Viagra, were taken last year.

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 undependable sources might either not work or bring extra ingredients or contaminants like heavy metals or other drugs that might be harmful.
