New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill
The makers of Viagra are set to launch a new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will change the renowned – and immediately recognisable – little blue pill.
The unique diamond-shaped tablets could soon be by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, suggesting it does not require to be taken with water.
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 concerned the marketplace in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.
It was first established in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, but trial individuals discovered it had an uncommon adverse effects – frequent erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand, has made an application for a hallmark in the UK for the new kind of the drug, Viagra ODF.
Viatris has already launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be preferable for numerous customers.

‘Tablets are not constantly tolerable to clients and also sometimes the size of tablets may put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, told The Telegraph.
She included: ‘Some guys may still be discovering the concept of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that males’s health and discussions about sexual health have carried on given that Viagra was very first developed.’
Ms Govind believes this new design is a ‘favorable step forward’.
The brand-new dissolvable medication is thought to most 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 indication’ it will be readily available within the next 5 years.
She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a continuous duration of five years or more after registration. As an outcome, it seems Viatris means to launch the item within the next couple of years.
However, approving a trademark would not ensure the ODF might be sold and it would need to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first.
It’s expected to cost the like the tablet variation and to be offered in the exact same dosages.
An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more frequently understood by the brand Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs sold under the brand Cialis and Levitra, were dished out by the health service in 2023
This follows dodgy Viagra was discovered to be Britain’s most significant fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless fake blue pill were taken by UK regulators in 2023.
More supplies of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than knock-off variations of painkillers like morphine.
Health officials stated online merchants flouting policies lagged the fake supplies with most 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 dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best known as Viagra, were taken last year.
Another half-million doses of tadalafil, another erectile dysfunction drug sold under the brand Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were also taken.
While all medications carry possible side effects drugs from unreliable sources might either not work or bring additional components or impurities like heavy metals or other drugs that could be unsafe.
