New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

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

About half of males 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 came to the market in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

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

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

Viatris has currently released the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be preferable for many customers.

She added: ‘Some men may still be finding the idea of having Viagr humiliating, but I would hope that males’s health and discussions about sexual health have carried on since Viagra was very first formulated.’

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

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, informed the newspaper that the hallmark application is a ‘good indicator’ it will be offered within the next 5 years.

She discussed trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant period of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it appears Viatris plans to launch the item within the next few years.

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

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