New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill
The makers of Viagra are set to release a new ‘discrete’ kind of the drug that will change the iconic – and instantly recognisable – little blue pill.
The distinct diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be changed 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 last year there was a record 4.57 million prescriptions for Viagra on the NHS.

It was first established in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, however trial individuals saw it had an unusual adverse effects – frequent erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand, has actually made an application for a trademark in the UK for the brand-new kind of the drug, Viagra ODF.

‘Tablets are not constantly tolerable to clients and also sometimes the size of tablets might put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, told The Telegraph.
She included: ‘Some men may still be the idea of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that men’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually moved on because Viagra was very first developed.’
Ms Govind thinks this brand-new style is a ‘favorable advance’.
The brand-new dissolvable medication is believed to most likely concerned the UK imminently.
Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, informed the newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘great indication’ it will be offered within the next five years.

However, giving a hallmark would not ensure the ODF could be sold and it would have to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first.
It’s expected to cost the like the tablet version and to be offered in the same doses.
A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly known by the brand Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs offered 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 most significant fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless phony blue tablet were seized by UK regulators in 2023.
More materials of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than knock-off variations of painkillers like morphine.
