New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill
The makers of Viagra are set to launch a brand-new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will replace the iconic – and quickly recognisable – little blue pill.
The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies 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 for Viagra on the NHS.
The drug first concerned the marketplace in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.
It was first developed in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, but trial individuals noticed it had an unusual side result – frequent erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand, has obtained a trademark in the UK for the new form of the drug, Viagra ODF.
Viatris has already 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 constantly bearable to patients and likewise sometimes the size of tablets may put clients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health expert, told The Telegraph.
She added: ‘Some males may still be discovering the concept of having Viagr awkward, however I would hope that men’s health and conversations about sexual health have carried on since Viagra was first created.’
Ms Govind thinks this new design is a ‘favorable advance’.
The brand-new dissolvable medication is thought 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 ‘excellent indicator’ it will be readily available within the next 5 years.
She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant duration of 5 years or more after registration. As an outcome, it appears Viatris intends to release the item within the next few years.
However, approving a hallmark would not ensure the ODF might be sold and it would have to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency first.
It’s expected to cost the like the tablet version and to be available in the exact same doses.
A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more frequently understood by the brand name Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs sold under the brand Cialis and Levitra, were dispensed by the health service in 2023
This comes after dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s biggest counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless fake blue tablet were seized by UK regulators in 2023.
More products of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than knock-off variations of pain relievers like morphine.
Health officials stated online merchants flouting regulations lagged the fake materials 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 called Viagra, were taken in 2015.
Another half-million dosages of tadalafil, another erectile dysfunction drug offered under the brand Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were likewise seized.
While all medications bring prospective side effects drugs from unreliable sources may either not work or bring extra ingredients or impurities like heavy metals or other drugs that might be harmful.
