Levitra orodispersible approved for Scotlands NHS

A convenient new drug to help men overcome erectile dysfunction has been approved by Scotland’s medical watchdog.

An estimated 2.3 million men are believed to suffer from erectile dysfunction in the UK, however market research suggests that only one in 10 receive treatment for the condition.

Levitra orodispersible, which is said to be the first and only orodispersible tablet for impotence, dissolves on the tongue without the need for a glass of water.

The research showed that 40% of sufferers regard existing therapies as “inconvenient”.

The “melt-in-the-mouth” drug was approved by the European Commission in September 2010 and launched in the UK in March this year. It was approved by the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) last week and will now be made available for use through NHS Scotland.

It is said to be more convenient than existing pills as it can be taken anywhere and the slim credit-card pack is more discreet than a usual pill-packet.

Manufacturers Bayer, who hope the drug will revolutionise treatment for men too embarrassed to seek help, say the formulation “de-medicalises” and helps to remove the stigma attached to impotence.

Each 10mg pack of Levitra orodispersible have anti-counterfeiting safety measures to prevent illegal internet websites selling fake versions.

Ian Russell, specialist practitioner in Andrology and Urology at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary, said: “This is really good news for Scottish men. We have been waiting for Levitra orodispersible to be licensed for a while and are relieved that it has finally been approved.

“We feel that it will be particularly advantageous for the younger patients with diabetes and other medical conditions causing erectile dysfunction who will appreciate its advantages the most.”

New levitra dissolvable tablets now on sale in the UK

Bayer have released a new dissolvable erectile dysfunction tablet called Levitra ODT (Orodispersible). This is a new type of pill that melts in your mouth to treat  male impotence which introduced in the UK yesterday.

Bayers researchers are hoping it will help men who feel too embarrassed to seek help for erectile dysfunction, as it can be taken quickly at the patient’s discretion. Called Levitra orodispersible, it is manufactured by Bayer.

“It is hoped the advantages of the new product and its discreet packaging will reduce the numbers of patients purchasing counterfeit pills online,” said Marc van Unen of Bayer. Men should still take this drug 30 minutes before sexual intercourse.                                                                                                                         

 

Market research by Bayer, makers of the new pill, found four in ten men say existing tablets, which have to be swallowed with water, are inconvenient.

Trials involving almost 1,000 men found the melt-in-the-mouth treatment was safe and effective. 

Sexual health campaigners warn that those with erectile dysfunction should always see a doctor because it could suggest the early stages of heart problems.

But many have ended up buying fake products online because they are too shy to see their GP.

Levitra ODT works like Viagra – fizzes on the tongue and dissolves in seconds, meaning it can be taken very discreetly. Levitra is available at Medical Specialists Pharmacy website via private prescription or through our online consultation..
