Viagra Availability Options in the UK
Over-the-Counter vs Prescription Options
Viagra Connect, containing 50mg sildenafil, became available over-the-counter in UK pharmacies in 2018. This allows men to purchase the medication directly from a pharmacist following a brief consultation. However, prescription-strength Viagra offers more dosage flexibility with 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets available through licensed prescribers.
EverydayMeds Online Consultation Service
EverydayMeds provides convenient access to prescription-strength ED treatments through our online consultation service. Following completion of a clinical questionnaire, UK-licensed prescribers assess your suitability for treatment. Patients can choose between branded Viagra or generic sildenafil at checkout, with the generic option offering the same active ingredient at a lower cost.
Clinical Assessment Requirements
Whether purchasing over-the-counter or online, a clinical assessment is always required. This evaluates your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history to ensure sildenafil is safe and appropriate. Men taking nitrates, those with severe heart conditions, or recent stroke/heart attack history may not be suitable candidates.
Dosage and Usage Guidelines
The standard starting dose is typically 50mg, taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Depending on effectiveness and tolerability, this may be adjusted to 25mg or increased to 100mg. Only one dose should be taken within 24 hours, and the medication requires sexual stimulation to be effective.
Treatment Options at EverydayMeds
Our service offers both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil, allowing patients to choose based on preference and budget. Both contain the same active ingredient and work identically, with the generic option providing significant cost savings. All treatments are dispensed by our UK-registered pharmacy with discreet packaging and fast delivery.
