New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill
The makers of Viagra are set to launch a brand-new ‘discrete’ form of the drug that will replace the renowned – and immediately recognisable – little blue tablet.
The distinct diamond-shaped tablets could quickly be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, suggesting it does not need 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.
The drug first concerned the market in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.
It was first developed in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, but trial individuals observed it had an unusual adverse effects – regular erections.
Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand, has gotten a hallmark in the UK for the new kind of the drug, Viagra ODF.

However, granting a trademark would not guarantee the ODF might be offered and it would need to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency initially.
It’s to cost the like the tablet version and to be offered in the very same doses.
