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 change the renowned – and instantly recognisable – little blue tablet.
The unique diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, implying it does not require 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.

‘Tablets are not always tolerable to patients and likewise sometimes the size of tablets may put clients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, informed The Telegraph.

Ms Govind believes this brand-new style is a ‘positive step forward’.
The new dissolvable medication is believed to most likely come to the UK imminently.
Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, told the newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘good indicator’ it will be readily available within the next 5 years.
She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a continuous duration of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it seems Viatris plans to launch the item within the next few years.
However, giving a trademark would not ensure the ODF might be offered 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.

This comes after dodgy Viagra was found 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 found than knock-off variations of pain relievers like morphine.
Health authorities said online retailers flouting policies lagged the fake supplies with the majority of being imported from nations like India without a suitable licence.
