New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets could quickly 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 males 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 initially came to the marketplace in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was first established in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, but trial individuals noticed it had an uncommon adverse effects – frequent erections.

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

Viatris has currently introduced the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be more effective for many clients.

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

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

She added: ‘Some men may still be finding the concept of having Viagr humiliating, however I would hope that males’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually moved on since Viagra was very first created.’

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

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, told the newspaper that the hallmark application is a ‘good sign’ it will be readily available within the next 5 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 appears Viatris means to introduce the item within the next couple of years.

However, granting a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF could be sold and it would need to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first.

It’s expected to cost the like the tablet version and to be available in the exact same doses.

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more typically known by the brand name Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs offered under the trademark name Cialis and Levitra, were dispensed by the health service in 2023

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

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

Health authorities stated online sellers flouting guidelines lagged the fake products with many being imported from nations like India without a suitable 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 referred to as Viagra, were seized last year.

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

While all medications bring prospective adverse 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.
