New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill
The makers of Viagra are set to release a new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will change the iconic – and immediately recognisable – little blue pill.
The distinct diamond-shaped tablets might soon be changed by a pink, rectangular ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, meaning it does not require to be taken with water.
About half of males over 40 suffer 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 market in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

‘Tablets are not always bearable to patients and likewise in some cases the size of tablets may put clients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, and health expert, informed The Telegraph.
She added: ‘Some guys might still be finding the idea of having Viagr humiliating, but I would hope that males’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually proceeded because Viagra was very first created.’
Ms Govind thinks this brand-new design is a ‘positive advance’.
The new dissolvable medication is believed to likely concerned the UK imminently.

However, giving a trademark would not guarantee the ODF might be sold and it would have to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first.
It’s expected to cost the exact same as the and to be available in the very same doses.
A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more by the brand Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs offered under the trademark name Cialis and Levitra, were dispensed by the health service in 2023
This comes after dodgy Viagra was discovered to be Britain’s biggest fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 blue pill were seized by UK regulators in 2023.
More materials of the drug were found than knock-off versions of pain relievers like morphine.
