About half of guys over 40 suffer erectile dysfunction in the UK and last year there was a record 4.57 million prescriptions for Viagra on the NHS.

The drug first came to the market in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

It was first developed in the 1980s as a heart disease medication, but trial individuals observed it had an uncommon negative effects – regular erections.

Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand, has actually gotten a trademark in the UK for the brand-new type of the drug, Viagra ODF.
