New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to launch a brand-new ‘discrete’ form of the drug that will replace the renowned – and quickly recognisable – little blue pill.

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, meaning 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 first pertained to the marketplace in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

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

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

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

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

She added: ‘Some males may still be discovering the idea of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that males’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually moved on since Viagra was first formulated.’

Ms Govind believes this brand-new design is a ‘positive step forward’.

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, informed the newspaper that the hallmark application is a ‘great indication’ it will be available within the next 5 years.

She explained trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant duration of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it appears Viatris intends to release the item within the next couple of years.

However, giving a hallmark would not ensure the ODF might be offered and it would have to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency initially.

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

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more typically known by the brand Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs sold 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 pill were taken by UK regulators in 2023.

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

Health officials stated online sellers flouting guidelines were behind the counterfeit products with most 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 doses of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best to as Viagra, were seized in 2015.

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