The distinct diamond-shaped tablets might quickly 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.

The drug initially came to the marketplace in the 1990s after being invented by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer.
