New ’discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill
The makers of Viagra are set to introduce a brand-new ’discrete’ form of the drug that will replace the iconic – and instantly recognisable – little blue pill.
The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangular ’wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, indicating it does not need to be taken with water.
About half of guys 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 pertained to the market in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.
It was very first developed in the 1980s as a heart disease medication, but trial individuals discovered it had an uncommon side result – regular erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand name, has actually made an application for a in the UK for the new kind of the drug, Viagra ODF.
Viatris has currently introduced the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ’thin and discreet’ which may be more effective for lots of consumers.
The unique tablets – which can trigger shame for some clients – has been reinvented and a new dissolvable type might be offered to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image
’Tablets are not always bearable to patients and also sometimes the size of tablets might put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, informed The Telegraph.
She added: ’Some males may still be finding the principle of having Viagr awkward, however I would hope that males’s health and conversations about sexual health have moved on because Viagra was first created.’
Ms Govind thinks this new style is a ’favorable advance’.
The brand-new dissolvable medication is thought to most likely pertained to the UK imminently.
Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, informed the paper that the hallmark application is a ’great indicator’ it will be offered within the next five years.
She discussed trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant period of five years or more after registration. As an outcome, it appears Viatris plans to introduce the product within the next few years.
However, approving a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF might be sold and it would need to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency initially.
It’s expected to cost the same as the tablet variation and to be readily available in the exact same dosages.
An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more typically known by the brand name Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs sold under the brand name names Cialis and Levitra, were dished out by the health service in 2023
This follows dodgy Viagra was discovered to be Britain’s greatest counterfeit drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of phony blue tablet were seized by UK regulators in 2023.
More materials of the erectile dysfunction drug were discovered than knock-off versions of painkillers like morphine.
Health authorities said online retailers flouting guidelines 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 dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best referred to as 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 also taken.
While all medications carry potential negative effects drugs from undependable sources might either not work or bring extra ingredients or contaminants like heavy metals or other drugs that might be unsafe.
