New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The unique diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, suggesting it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of men 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 initially came to the marketplace in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

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

Now, Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand name, has made an application for a trademark in the UK for the new form of the drug, Viagra ODF.

She added: ‘Some males may still be discovering the concept of having Viagr awkward, but I would hope that men’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually moved on given that Viagra was first created.’

Ms Govind believes this new style is a ‘positive advance’.

The new dissolvable medication is believed to likely concerned the UK imminently.

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, told the newspaper that the hallmark application is a ‘excellent indication’ it will be available within the next five years.

It’s expected to cost the exact same as the tablet variation and to be available in the exact same dosages.
