The makers of Viagra are set to release a brand-new ‘discrete’ form of the drug that will replace the iconic – and instantly recognisable – little blue pill.

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets might quickly be replaced by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that dissolves on the tongue, indicating it does not need 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 initially pertained to the marketplace in the 1990s after being created by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

‘Tablets are not constantly tolerable to clients and likewise often the size of tablets may put clients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health expert, told The Telegraph.

She included: ‘Some males may still be the principle of having Viagr humiliating, however I would hope that males’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually proceeded since Viagra was very first developed.’

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

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

It’s anticipated to cost the exact same as the tablet version and to be offered in the exact same doses.
