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 renowned – and quickly recognisable – little blue tablet.

The unique diamond-shaped tablets might soon 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 pertained to the market in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

It was first established in the 1980s as a heart illness medication, but trial participants saw it had an uncommon adverse effects – regular erections.

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

Viatris has actually currently released the Viagra ODF in Canada and promoted it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more effective for lots of customers.

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

‘Tablets are not constantly tolerable to patients and also in some cases the size of tablets might put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, informed The Telegraph.

She included: ‘Some men might still be finding the concept of having Viagr humiliating, but I would hope that men’s health and conversations about sexual health have moved on given that Viagra was first created.’

Ms Govind believes this new style is a ‘positive step 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 paper that the trademark application is a ‘excellent indication’ 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 five years or more after registration. As a result, it seems Viatris intends to launch the product within the next few 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 initially.

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

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

This follows dodgy Viagra was to be Britain’s most significant counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of phony blue pill were taken by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health authorities stated online retailers flouting policies were behind the counterfeit products with many being imported from nations like India without a proper licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare items Regulatory Agency (MHRA), show 2.6 million dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best referred to as Viagra, were taken last year.

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

While all medications carry prospective side effects drugs from unreliable sources may either not work or carry extra ingredients or impurities like heavy metals or other drugs that could be unsafe.
