New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill
The makers of Viagra are set to introduce a brand-new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will replace the renowned – and immediately recognisable – little blue tablet.
The unique diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, suggesting it does not need 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.
The drug initially pertained to the marketplace in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.
It was very first developed in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, however trial participants observed it had an uncommon side result – frequent erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand name, has actually obtained a trademark in the UK for the new kind of the drug, Viagra ODF.
Viatris has currently released the Viagra ODF in Canada and promoted it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be more effective for lots of consumers.
The distinctive tablets – which can trigger humiliation for some clients – has actually been reinvented and a brand-new dissolvable type may be available to Brits in the next five years. Stock image
‘Tablets are not always tolerable to clients and also often the size of tablets may put clients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, informed The Telegraph.
She added: ‘Some males might still be discovering the idea of having Viagr embarrassing, but I would hope that males’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually carried on considering that Viagra was first formulated.’
Ms Govind believes this brand-new design is a ‘positive advance’.
The new dissolvable medication is believed to 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 offered within the next 5 years.
She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a constant period of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it appears Viatris intends to release the product within the next few years.
However, giving a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF might be offered and it would have to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency first.
It’s anticipated to cost the like the tablet variation and to be offered in the same doses.
A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly known by the trademark name Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs sold under the brand Cialis and Levitra, were dispensed by the health service in 2023
This follows dodgy Viagra was to be Britain’s greatest fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of fake blue pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.
More materials of the erectile dysfunction drug were discovered than knock-off versions of pain relievers like morphine.
Health authorities said online sellers flouting policies were behind the counterfeit products with many being imported from nations like India without an appropriate 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 referred to 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 bring prospective adverse effects drugs from unreliable sources may either not work or carry extra components or pollutants like heavy metals or other drugs that could be hazardous.
