The makers of Viagra are set to introduce a new ‘discrete’ type of the drug that will change the renowned – and instantly recognisable – little blue pill.

The distinctive diamond-shaped tablets could soon be changed by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that dissolves 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 last year there was a record 4.57 million prescriptions for Viagra on the NHS.
