New 'discreet' Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to release a brand-new 'discrete' type of the drug that will replace the renowned - and quickly recognisable - little blue tablet.

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets could soon be replaced by a pink, rectangle-shaped '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 in 2015 there was a record 4.57 million prescriptions for Viagra on the NHS.

The drug initially concerned the marketplace in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

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

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

Viatris has already launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being 'thin and discreet' which may be more suitable for lots of customers.

The distinct tablets - which can trigger shame for some clients - has actually been reinvented and a new dissolvable type may be offered to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image

'Tablets are not constantly tolerable to patients and likewise often the size of tablets might put clients off having them,' Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, told The Telegraph.

She added: 'Some men might still be finding the concept of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that guys's health and conversations about sexual health have moved on considering that Viagra was first formulated.'

Ms Govind believes this brand-new design is a 'favorable step forward'.

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

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, told the newspaper that the hallmark application is a 'excellent sign' it will be available within the next 5 years.

She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a constant period of five years or more after registration. As an outcome, it appears Viatris means to release the product within the next couple of years.

However, giving a trademark would not guarantee 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 very same as the tablet variation and to be offered in the same dosages.

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

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

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

Health authorities said online retailers flouting regulations lagged the fake supplies with many being imported from nations like India without a suitable 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 known as Viagra, were seized in 2015.

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