New ‚discreet‘ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‚wafer‘ that dissolves on the tongue, meaning 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 problem medication, but trial individuals noticed it had an unusual negative effects – frequent erections.

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

Viatris has actually currently launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and promoted it as being ‚thin and discreet‘ which might be preferable for many clients.

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

She included: ‚Some men may still be discovering the principle of having Viagr awkward, however I would hope that men’s health and conversations about sexual health have moved on since Viagra was first developed.‘

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

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, informed the paper that the hallmark application is a ‚excellent indication‘ 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 duration of five years or more after registration. As an outcome, it appears Viatris means to launch the item within the next few years.

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

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

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

This comes after dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s greatest counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of phony blue tablet were seized by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health authorities stated online retailers flouting guidelines lagged the counterfeit supplies with a lot of being imported from countries 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 understood as Viagra, were confiscated in 2015.

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