Your Viagra Consultation Process Explained
How Viagra Works in Your Body
Viagra contains sildenafil citrate, which belongs to a group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. When you're sexually aroused, your body naturally releases nitric oxide, which increases blood flow to the penis. Viagra works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme that can restrict this blood flow, helping you achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity.
It's important to understand that Viagra doesn't cause automatic erections - sexual stimulation is still required. The medication typically begins working within 30-60 minutes of taking it, and its effects can last up to 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean your erection will last this long.
Starting Your Online Assessment
Our streamlined consultation process makes accessing Viagra treatment straightforward and discreet. You'll begin by completing a comprehensive medical questionnaire that covers your health history, current medications, and symptoms. This assessment typically takes 5-10 minutes and asks about cardiovascular health, blood pressure, and any medications you're currently taking.
Our UK-licensed prescribers need this information to ensure Viagra is safe and suitable for you. The assessment includes questions about nitrate medications, recent heart problems, liver function, and blood pressure issues, as these can affect whether Viagra is appropriate for your situation.
Clinical Review by UK-Licensed Prescribers
Once you've submitted your consultation, one of our experienced UK-licensed clinicians will review your responses. They'll assess your suitability for treatment based on current clinical guidelines and your individual health profile. Most assessments are reviewed within 2-4 hours during working days.
If approved, you'll receive a prescription for Viagra, and you can choose your preferred strength - typically starting with 50mg, though 25mg and 100mg options are available. Your prescriber may recommend starting with a lower dose if you're taking other medications or have certain health conditions.
Choosing Between Viagra and Sildenafil
At checkout, you can select between branded Viagra manufactured by Pfizer or generic sildenafil. Both contain exactly the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) and work identically in your body. The main difference is cost - generic sildenafil offers significant savings whilst providing the same clinical effectiveness.
Many patients choose generic sildenafil for ongoing treatment once they've established that the medication works well for them. Your choice doesn't affect the strength or effectiveness of your treatment, and you can switch between branded and generic options in future orders.
Important Safety Information
Viagra isn't suitable for everyone. You shouldn't take it if you're using nitrate medications for chest pain, as this combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. It's also not recommended if you have severe heart disease, recent stroke, very low blood pressure, or certain eye conditions.
Common side effects may include headaches, flushing, indigestion, or nasal congestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Always take Viagra exactly as prescribed - maximum one tablet per 24 hours, and avoid taking it with large or fatty meals as this can delay its effectiveness.
Discreet Delivery and Ongoing Support
Once your prescription is approved and you've completed your order, we'll arrange discreet delivery to your chosen address. Packages arrive in plain packaging with no indication of contents, typically within 24-48 hours for UK addresses.
Our patient support team remains available for any questions about your treatment. You can also easily reorder through your patient account, with streamlined repeat consultations for ongoing treatment when clinically appropriate.
