The makers of Viagra are set to introduce a new ‘discrete’ kind of the drug that will replace the iconic – and instantly recognisable – little blue pill.
The distinct diamond-shaped tablets might soon be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, meaning 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 pertained to the marketplace in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.
It was first established in the 1980s as a cardiovascular disease medication, however trial individuals saw it had an unusual negative effects – frequent erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand, has requested a hallmark in the UK for the brand-new form of the drug, Viagra ODF.

‘Tablets are not always bearable to patients and also in some cases the size of tablets might put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, told The Telegraph.
She included: ‘Some guys may still be finding the idea of having Viagr humiliating, but I would hope that men’s health and conversations about sexual health have proceeded because Viagra was very first developed.’

She explained trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a continuous duration of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it appears Viatris means to introduce the product within the next couple of years.
However, approving a hallmark would not ensure the ODF could be offered and it would have to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency initially.
It’s expected to cost the like the tablet variation and to be offered in the same doses.
