New ’discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill
The makers of Viagra are set to introduce a brand-new ’discrete’ kind of the drug that will replace the renowned – and immediately recognisable – little blue tablet.
The distinct diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangle-shaped ’wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, indicating it does not need 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 for Viagra on the NHS.
The drug initially concerned the marketplace in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.
It was very first established in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, however trial participants discovered it had an unusual negative effects – regular erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand, has actually used for a hallmark in the UK for the new kind of the drug, Viagra ODF.
Viatris has currently launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being ’thin and discreet’ which may be more effective for numerous customers.
The distinctive tablets – which can cause embarrassment for some patients – has been transformed and a brand-new dissolvable type may be readily available to Brits in the next five years. Stock image
’Tablets are not constantly bearable to patients and also sometimes the size of tablets might put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health expert, informed The Telegraph.
She added: ’Some men may still be discovering the idea of having Viagr embarrassing, however I would hope that guys’s health and discussions about sexual health have carried on since Viagra was very first formulated.’
Ms Govind thinks this new style is a ’favorable advance’.
The brand-new dissolvable medication is believed to most likely pertained to the UK imminently.
Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, informed the newspaper that the hallmark application is a ’great indication’ it will be available within the next 5 years.
She explained trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a continuous period of 5 years or more after registration. As an outcome, it seems Viatris plans to launch the item within the next few years.
However, granting a trademark would not guarantee the ODF might be sold and it would have to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency initially.
It’s anticipated to cost the like the tablet version and to be readily 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 offered under the trademark name Cialis and Levitra, were dished out by the health service in 2023
This follows dodgy Viagra was found 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 products of the erectile dysfunction drug were discovered than knock-off variations of painkillers like morphine.
Health officials said online merchants flouting policies lagged the counterfeit products with a lot of being imported from countries like India without a proper licence.
Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare items Regulatory Agency (MHRA), reveal 2.6 million dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best called Viagra, were taken in 2015.
Another half-million doses of tadalafil, another erectile dysfunction drug offered under the brand Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were also seized.
