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

About half of males 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 concerned the market in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

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

Viatris has actually already the Viagra ODF in Canada and promoted it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which may be more effective for lots of customers.

‘Tablets are not constantly tolerable to patients and also sometimes the size of tablets may put patients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, told The Telegraph.

She added: ‘Some guys might still be finding the principle of having Viagr humiliating, however I would hope that guys’s health and discussions about sexual health have actually moved on since Viagra was first formulated.’

Ms Govind thinks this new style is a ‘positive action forward’.

However, approving a hallmark would not ensure the ODF could be offered and it would have to be approved by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency initially.

It’s expected to cost the like the tablet version and to be readily available in the very same doses.

A total of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more frequently known by the brand Viagra, and other kinds of impotency drugs offered under the brand Cialis and Levitra, were dispensed by the health service in 2023

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

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