New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets could soon be replaced by a pink, that liquifies on the tongue, indicating it does not need 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 pertained to the market in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

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

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

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

The distinct tablets – which can cause humiliation for some patients – has actually been reinvented and a new dissolvable type may be available to Brits in the next five years. Stock image

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

She added: ‘Some men may still be discovering the idea of having Viagr awkward, however I would hope that males’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually carried on considering that Viagra was first formulated.’

Ms Govind thinks this new design is a ‘positive advance’.

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer 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 explained trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a constant period of 5 years or more after registration. As an outcome, it seems Viatris intends to launch the product within the next couple of years.

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

It’s anticipated to cost the very same as the tablet version and to be offered in the exact same doses.

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly understood by the brand Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs offered under the brand Cialis and Levitra, were dished out by the health service in 2023

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

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

Health officials said online retailers flouting policies lagged the fake materials with many being imported from nations 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 called Viagra, were confiscated in 2015.

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

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