New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill
The makers of Viagra are set to release a new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will replace the iconic – and quickly recognisable – little blue tablet.
The unique diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, indicating it does not require 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 came to the marketplace in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.
It was first established in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, however trial individuals saw it had an unusual adverse effects – regular erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand name, has looked for a hallmark in the UK for the new form of the drug, Viagra ODF.
Viatris has currently launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be preferable for many consumers.

‘Tablets are not constantly tolerable to patients and likewise often the size of tablets may put clients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health expert, told The Telegraph.
She included: ‘Some guys may still be finding the concept of having Viagr awkward, however I would hope that guys’s health and discussions about sexual health have carried on given that Viagra was first formulated.’
Ms Govind believes this new style is a ‘positive advance’.
The new dissolvable medication is believed to likely pertained to the UK imminently.

However, approving a trademark would not guarantee the ODF might be offered and it would need to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency initially.
It’s expected to cost the very same as the tablet version and to be available in the same dosages.
A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more frequently understood by the trademark name Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs offered under the brand names Cialis and Levitra, were dished out by the health service in 2023
