How Our Viagra Eligibility Assessment Works
Understanding What Viagra Does and Who Can Take It
Viagra contains sildenafil citrate, a PDE5 inhibitor that works by blocking the phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme. This action increases blood flow to the penis when you're sexually aroused, helping you achieve and maintain an erection. However, Viagra doesn't cause automatic erections - sexual stimulation is still required. The medication typically works within 30-60 minutes and its effects can last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean your erection will last this long.
Before accessing Viagra through EverydayMeds, you'll need to pass our comprehensive eligibility check. This assessment ensures the medication is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances. Our UK-licensed prescribers evaluate your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health to determine if Viagra is suitable for you.
Key Eligibility Criteria for Viagra Treatment
To be eligible for Viagra prescription through EverydayMeds, you must be an adult man over 18 experiencing erectile dysfunction. Our clinical assessment focuses on several critical safety factors. You cannot take Viagra if you're currently using nitrate medications (such as GTN spray or isosorbide), as this creates a dangerous interaction that can cause severe blood pressure drops.
Other contraindications include severe heart disease, recent heart attack or stroke within six months, severe liver impairment, very low blood pressure, or allergies to sildenafil. Our eligibility check also considers your current medications, as Viagra can interact with alpha-blockers, certain HIV medications, antifungals, and some antibiotics. Being honest during your consultation ensures you receive safe, appropriate treatment.
The EverydayMeds Eligibility Check Process
Our streamlined eligibility assessment begins with a confidential online consultation. You'll complete a detailed medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and specific symptoms. This information is reviewed by our UK-licensed prescribers who are registered with the General Medical Council and specialise in men's health treatments.
The assessment typically takes just a few minutes to complete, with most eligibility decisions provided quickly. Our prescribers may ask follow-up questions to ensure your safety. If you're deemed suitable for treatment, you'll have the option to choose between branded Viagra or generic Sildenafil at checkout - both contain the same active ingredient and offer identical effectiveness, with Sildenafil providing a more cost-effective option.
What Happens If You're Not Initially Eligible
If our initial assessment indicates you're not currently suitable for Viagra, this doesn't necessarily mean you'll never be eligible. Our prescribers will explain the specific reasons and may suggest alternative approaches. Sometimes, adjusting current medications or addressing underlying health concerns can make you eligible for treatment in the future.
For men taking certain blood pressure medications, our prescribers might recommend dose adjustments or timing considerations to safely prescribe Viagra. If you have controlled heart conditions, additional medical clearance from your GP might be required before proceeding with treatment.
Maximising Your Treatment Success
Understanding what Viagra does helps set realistic expectations for your treatment. The medication requires sexual arousal to work effectively, and factors like heavy meals, excessive alcohol, or stress can impact its effectiveness. Our prescribers provide detailed guidance on optimising your treatment, including timing recommendations and lifestyle considerations.
Most men start with a 50mg dose, which can be adjusted to 25mg or 100mg based on effectiveness and any side effects experienced. Remember, you can only take one dose per 24-hour period. Our follow-up consultations ensure your treatment remains safe and effective, with the option to adjust your prescription as needed.
