How ED treatment works in your body.

Increases blood flow

Increases blood flow

When PDE5 is suppressed, blood is able to flow more freely through the body—including to the (you guessed it) penis.

Increase erections

Increase erections

More blood flow to the penis means harder, more satisfying erections once you're sexually stimulated.

Viagra vs Generic Sildenafil: What's the Difference?

Understanding Branded Viagra vs Generic Sildenafil

When you buy Viagra online, you'll notice two main options: branded Viagra manufactured by Pfizer and generic sildenafil from various licensed manufacturers. Both medications contain exactly the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate - in identical dosages of 25mg, 50mg, or 100mg. The key differences lie in cost, appearance, and manufacturing company rather than effectiveness.

How Both Options Work Identically

Whether you choose branded Viagra or generic sildenafil, both work as PDE5 inhibitors to increase blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. The medication typically takes 30-60 minutes to work and can remain effective for 4-6 hours. Both require sexual stimulation to be effective and should not be taken more than once in 24 hours. The clinical outcomes and side effect profiles are identical between branded and generic versions.

Cost Comparison: Significant Savings with Generic

Generic sildenafil offers substantial cost savings compared to branded Viagra, often providing the same treatment at up to 70% less cost. This makes ED treatment more accessible for many patients. At EverydayMeds, we offer transparent pricing for both options, allowing you to compare costs during checkout. The lower price of generic sildenafil doesn't reflect lower quality - it simply reflects the absence of brand marketing costs and patent premiums.

Quality Standards for Both Options

Both Viagra and generic sildenafil available through EverydayMeds meet stringent MHRA quality standards. Generic manufacturers must demonstrate bioequivalence to the original branded product, ensuring identical absorption and effectiveness. All medications are sourced from licensed UK or EU suppliers and stored according to pharmaceutical standards. The choice between branded and generic often comes down to personal preference and budget considerations.

Consultation Process for Both Treatments

Whether you choose Viagra or sildenafil, both require a prescription following clinical assessment by our UK-registered prescribers. The consultation evaluates your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health to ensure safe treatment. Patients with conditions such as heart disease, those taking nitrates, or with severe liver problems may not be suitable candidates. Our clinical team provides guidance on dosage selection, typically starting with 50mg and adjusting based on response and tolerability.

Making Your Choice at EverydayMeds

EverydayMeds provides both options to give you complete choice in your ED treatment. Some patients prefer branded Viagra for psychological reassurance, while others choose generic sildenafil for its excellent value. Both are dispensed from our UK registered pharmacy with discreet packaging and fast delivery. Our consultation process remains identical regardless of your choice, ensuring safe, effective treatment tailored to your individual needs.

What you need to know about erectile dysfunction

It's one of the most common conditions we treat, and one of the most treatable.

What is Erectile Dysfunction?
ED means finding it hard to get or keep an erection firm enough for sex. It's not unusual to have an off night; the point at which it's worth doing something is when it's happening regularly, or when it's starting to bother you.
How will I feel when I take ED medication?
For most men, nothing feels different day to day. The medication works in the background — when you're sexually aroused, it helps blood flow where it's needed, so erections come more easily and last longer. It doesn't cause arousal on its own. Some men notice mild, short-lived effects like a headache, facial flushing or a stuffy nose, which usually pass as the dose wears off.
Why do I need a prescription for ED medication?
ED treatments are prescription-only medicines in the UK because they aren't suitable for everyone — for example, alongside certain heart conditions or medications like nitrates. That's why we ask you to complete a short online consultation first. A UK-registered prescriber reviews your answers to make sure your chosen treatment is safe and right for you before it's dispensed.
