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

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

How to Access Viagra Treatment Through EverydayMeds

Online Consultation Process for Viagra and Sildenafil

Getting started with ED treatment at EverydayMeds is straightforward and completely confidential. Our online consultation takes approximately 5-10 minutes and covers essential health questions including your alcohol consumption patterns. This information helps our UK-licensed prescribers determine whether Viagra or generic sildenafil is suitable for you.

During the assessment, you'll be asked about your medical history, current medications, cardiovascular health, and lifestyle factors. Questions about alcohol intake are particularly important because whilst moderate alcohol consumption doesn't typically prevent Viagra use, excessive drinking can affect both the medication's effectiveness and your overall cardiovascular health.

Understanding Viagra and Alcohol Interactions

Many men wonder whether they can safely consume alcohol whilst taking Viagra. The good news is that moderate alcohol consumption is generally considered acceptable with this medication. However, both Viagra and alcohol can lower blood pressure, and when combined, this effect may be more pronounced.

Our prescribers will assess your typical alcohol consumption during the consultation. Binge drinking or regular heavy alcohol use may affect your eligibility, not necessarily because of direct interactions, but because excessive alcohol can impair erectile function and cardiovascular health. Additionally, alcohol can reduce the effectiveness of sildenafil, potentially making the treatment less successful.

Choosing Between Viagra and Sildenafil

EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs and budget. Both contain the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate - and work identically in your body. The generic version offers the same effectiveness at a lower cost, whilst some patients prefer the branded option.

Both treatments are available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. Your prescriber will recommend the most appropriate starting dose based on your health assessment, typically beginning with 50mg. This can be adjusted up to 100mg or down to 25mg depending on how well you respond and any side effects you may experience.

Eligibility Requirements and Safety Considerations

To be eligible for Viagra or sildenafil treatment, you must be an adult male experiencing erectile dysfunction. Our consultation process carefully screens for contraindications that could make this treatment unsafe. These include taking nitrate medications for chest pain, severe heart conditions, recent heart attacks or strokes, and certain other medications.

Your alcohol consumption history helps our prescribers understand your overall health picture. Whilst moderate drinking doesn't typically disqualify you from treatment, patterns of heavy alcohol use may require additional consideration or alternative treatment approaches.

Next Steps: Starting Your Treatment Journey

If approved following your consultation, you can choose your preferred medication strength and quantity. Our pharmacy team prepares your order with complete discretion, and delivery typically occurs within 24-48 hours via tracked, plain packaging. All medications are sourced from UK-licensed suppliers and undergo rigorous quality checks.

Follow-up support is available if you have questions about your treatment or need dosage adjustments. Our clinical team can provide ongoing guidance about safely combining your medication with moderate alcohol consumption and optimising your treatment effectiveness.

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.
