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.

How to Order Viagra Online with EverydayMeds

Understanding Viagra Availability in the UK

Viagra is available in two ways in the UK. Viagra Connect (sildenafil 50mg) can be purchased over the counter from pharmacies following a brief consultation. However, prescription-strength Viagra in doses of 25mg, 50mg, or 100mg requires a consultation with a qualified prescriber. EverydayMeds provides access to these prescription doses through our online consultation service, offering both branded Viagra and generic Sildenafil options.

Our Simple Online Consultation Process

Getting started with your first Viagra order is straightforward. Begin by completing our confidential medical questionnaire, which covers your medical history, current medications, and symptoms. This assessment typically takes 3-5 minutes and ensures your safety when taking erectile dysfunction medication. Our UK-licensed prescribers review every consultation within 24 hours on working days.

During the assessment, our clinicians evaluate whether Viagra or Sildenafil is suitable for you. They consider factors such as cardiovascular health, existing medications, and any contraindications. This thorough review ensures you receive the most appropriate treatment at the correct dosage for your individual circumstances.

Choosing Between Viagra and Sildenafil

At checkout, you can select between branded Viagra and generic Sildenafil. Both contain the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) and work identically to improve blood flow during sexual arousal. The main difference is cost - generic Sildenafil typically offers significant savings while maintaining the same effectiveness and safety profile as the branded version.

Available doses include 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. Most men start with 50mg, taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Your prescriber may recommend adjusting the dose based on effectiveness and any side effects experienced. Remember, only one tablet should be taken within any 24-hour period.

Safety Considerations and Contraindications

Viagra and Sildenafil are not suitable for everyone. These medications should not be taken by men using nitrate medications (such as GTN spray), those with severe heart conditions, or individuals with very low blood pressure. Our consultation process identifies these contraindications to ensure your safety.

Common side effects may include headaches, facial flushing, or mild stomach upset. These typically resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. More serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention if experienced.

Discreet Delivery and Ongoing Support

Once approved, your medication is dispensed by our partner pharmacy and sent via tracked delivery. All packaging is discreet with no indication of contents. Most orders placed before 3pm on working days arrive the following business day.

Our clinical team remains available for ongoing support throughout your treatment. You can request repeat prescriptions through your patient account, and our prescribers can adjust dosages if needed during follow-up consultations.

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.
