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 change the renowned – and quickly recognisable – little blue tablet.
The unique diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, indicating it does not require 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 concerned the marketplace in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.
It was very first developed in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, however trial individuals discovered it had an unusual side result – frequent erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand name, has looked for a trademark in the UK for the new form of the drug, Viagra ODF.
Viatris has actually currently introduced the Viagra ODF in Canada and advertised it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more effective for many customers.
The unique tablets – which can trigger humiliation for some patients – has been reinvented and a new dissolvable type may be offered to Brits in the next five years. Stock image
‘Tablets are not constantly tolerable to clients and also sometimes the size of tablets may put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, informed The Telegraph.
She added: ‘Some males may still be discovering the concept of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that guys’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually moved on considering that Viagra was very first developed.’
Ms Govind thinks this new design is a ‘positive action forward’.
The brand-new dissolvable medication is believed to most likely pertained to the UK imminently.
Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, told the paper that the hallmark application is a ‘great indicator’ it will be readily available within the next five years.
She discussed trade can be cancelled if they are not used for a constant period of five years or more after registration. As a result, it seems Viatris plans to release the item within the next couple of years.
However, granting a hallmark would not guarantee the ODF might be offered and it would have to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency initially.
It’s expected to cost the like the tablet version and to be readily available in the same doses.
A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more frequently known by the brand Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs sold under the brand names Cialis and Levitra, were dished out by the health service in 2023
This comes after dodgy Viagra was discovered to be Britain’s most significant fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless phony blue pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.
More materials of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than knock-off variations of pain relievers like morphine.
Health officials stated online sellers flouting policies were behind the fake materials with many 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 doses of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best understood as Viagra, were confiscated last year.
Another half-million doses of tadalafil, another erectile dysfunction drug sold under the brand name Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were likewise seized.
While all medications bring prospective adverse effects drugs from unreliable sources may either not work or bring additional components or impurities like heavy metals or other drugs that might be dangerous.
