New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill
The makers of Viagra are set to release a new ‘discrete’ form of the drug that will replace the iconic – and immediately recognisable – little blue tablet.
The unique diamond-shaped tablets might soon 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 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 initially concerned the market in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.
It was very first developed in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, however trial participants discovered it had an uncommon negative effects – frequent erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand name, has actually obtained a hallmark in the UK for the new kind of the drug, Viagra ODF.

The unique tablets – which can cause shame for some patients – has actually been transformed and a brand-new dissolvable type might be readily available to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image
‘Tablets are not always bearable to patients and likewise in some cases the size of tablets might put clients off having them,‘ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, informed The Telegraph.
She included: ‘Some guys might still be discovering the idea of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that males’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually moved on given that Viagra was very first developed.’
Ms Govind thinks this new design is a ‘positive step forward’.
The new dissolvable medication is believed to 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 ‘excellent sign’ it will be readily available within the next 5 years.
She explained trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a continuous duration of five years or more after registration. As a result, it appears Viatris means to release the product within the next couple of years.
However, giving a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF could be offered and it would have to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency initially.
It’s expected to cost the exact same as the tablet variation and to be readily available in the exact same dosages.
