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

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

She added: ‘Some guys might still be discovering the principle of having Viagr embarrassing, however I would hope that males’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually proceeded given that Viagra was very first developed.’

Ms Govind thinks this brand-new style is a ‘favorable advance’.
