Viatris, a global healthcare company, today announced the launch of PrViagra ODF (sildenafil citrate orodispersible film) in Canada – a new form of the erectile dysfunction treatment, that dissolves in the mouth. This new solution underscores Viatris Canada's commitment to expanding options for the treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED).

For the last 25 years in Canada, Viagra has supported the management of ED. Recognizing the psychological and social impact of ED3, Viatris now introduces the new Viagra ODF. Viagra ODF dissolves in the mouth with or without water, providing a convenient dosage form.

Features of Viagra ODF

Viagra ODF delivers the proven results of Viagra in a new formulation:

• Dissolution and Discretion: Dissolves with or without water and is discreet.
• Convenient Packaging: The thin and discreet film format is packaged in an aluminum pouch.
• Treatment of ED: Viagra ODF is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.
• Dosage: Viagra ODF comes in 50 mg doses, which is the recommended dose for most patients4.
• Consistent Pricing: Viagra ODF is available at a similar price to the Viagra tablets.

Empowering Patients

The new Viagra ODF reinforces Viatris' commitment to improving patient experience and quality of life. ED is a common condition1 that should not be seen as a taboo. Normalizing conversations about ED can reduce the stigma and encourage men to seek the support and treatment they need. Healthcare providers can play a crucial role in this dialogue.

"As a physician, being able to offer my patients a new form of a treatment they are already familiar and comfortable with offers greater flexibility and engagement around the treatment decision discussion," said Dr. Dean Elterman, who is a urologic surgeon at the University Health Network and an associate professor of urology at the University of Toronto. "The option of not having to take Viagra ODF with water, as it dissolves on the tongue, may be an appealing option for those patients looking for convenience or discretion."

Viatris Canada's Country Manager Jeffrey Long commented, "Building on Viagra's 25-year legacy here in Canada, the introduction of Viagra ODF is testament to Viatris' commitment to patient-centric solutions, and showcases our pursuit of innovation. We also hope this launch will help foster a more open, accepting conversation about men's health."
