About half of men 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 first came to the market in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was first developed in the 1980s as a heart problem medication, but trial participants noticed it had an uncommon adverse effects – frequent erections.

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

Viatris has actually already launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and promoted it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be preferable for numerous customers.

‘Tablets are not constantly bearable to clients and also in some cases the size of tablets may put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health professional, informed The Telegraph.

She included: ‘Some guys might still be discovering the principle of having Viagr awkward, however I would hope that males’s health and discussions about sexual health have carried on given that Viagra was first developed.’

Ms Govind thinks this new design is a ‘positive advance’.

The brand-new dissolvable medication is believed to likely pertained to the UK imminently.

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark attorney at Mewburn Ellis, told the paper that the trademark application is a ‘good indication’ it will be readily available within the next five years.

She discussed trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not utilized for a continuous period of five years or more after registration. As a result, it appears Viatris means to introduce the product within the next few years.

However, granting a trademark would not ensure the ODF could be offered and it would need to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first.

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

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more commonly known by the brand name Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs sold under the brand names Cialis and Levitra, were dished out by the health service in 2023

This follows dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s greatest fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 million of fake blue pill were taken by UK regulators in 2023.

More supplies of the erectile dysfunction drug were discovered than knock-off variations of painkillers like morphine.
