Viagra Dosage & Treatment Options
How Viagra Works for Men
Viagra contains sildenafil citrate, a PDE5 inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. The medication blocks the phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme, allowing blood vessels to relax and improve circulation. Sexual stimulation is still required - Viagra does not cause automatic erections. Effects typically begin within 30-60 minutes and may last up to 4-6 hours, though this does not mean erections persist throughout this period.
Available Strengths and Starting Doses
Viagra is available in three strengths: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. Most men start with the 50mg dose, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Based on effectiveness and tolerability, your prescriber may adjust this to 25mg (if side effects occur) or increase to 100mg (if 50mg proves insufficient). Only one tablet should be taken within any 24-hour period, regardless of strength.
Viagra vs Sildenafil: Branded vs Generic
EverydayMeds offers both Viagra (the original Pfizer brand) and Sildenafil (generic version) containing identical active ingredients. Both require prescription and clinical assessment but generic Sildenafil typically costs significantly less whilst providing equivalent effectiveness. Patients can choose their preferred option during checkout following successful consultation with our UK-licensed prescribers.
Eligibility and Safety Considerations
Viagra is suitable for adult men experiencing erectile dysfunction, following clinical assessment. Our prescribers evaluate cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history to ensure safe use. Men taking nitrate medications (GTN sprays, heart tablets) cannot use Viagra due to dangerous interactions. Those with severe heart conditions, recent stroke, or very low blood pressure may also be unsuitable for treatment.

Our streamlined process involves completing a confidential medical questionnaire reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers.
