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 Access Viagra Through EverydayMeds

Online Consultation Process

EverydayMeds has streamlined the process of obtaining a Viagra prescription through our secure online consultation service. Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough medical assessments to ensure Viagra or Sildenafil is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances. The consultation covers your medical history, current medications, cardiovascular health, and specific symptoms of erectile dysfunction.

Eligibility Requirements for Viagra

To be prescribed Viagra in the UK, you must be an adult male (18 years or older) experiencing erectile dysfunction. Our prescribers will assess whether you have any contraindications that would make Viagra unsuitable, such as taking nitrate medications, severe heart conditions, or recent cardiovascular events. The clinical assessment also evaluates potential drug interactions with any current medications you may be taking.

Medical Conditions That May Affect Prescription

Certain medical conditions require careful consideration before prescribing Viagra. These include cardiovascular disease, liver or kidney problems, blood pressure issues, and eye conditions. Our prescribers may recommend starting with a lower dose or suggest alternative treatments if you have underlying health conditions that could increase the risk of side effects.

Choosing Between Viagra and Sildenafil

EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra and generic Sildenafil, allowing patients to choose their preferred option at checkout. Both medications contain the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) and work in identical ways to treat erectile dysfunction. The main difference is cost, with generic Sildenafil typically being more affordable whilst maintaining the same effectiveness and safety profile as branded Viagra.

Dosage Options and Treatment Guidance

Viagra and Sildenafil are available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. Most men start with the 50mg dose, which can be adjusted up to 100mg or down to 25mg based on effectiveness and tolerability. Our prescribers provide detailed guidance on proper usage, including timing recommendations and important safety considerations such as the maximum one dose per 24-hour period.

What to Expect During Treatment

Viagra typically begins working within 30-60 minutes of taking the tablet and may remain effective for up to 4-6 hours. This doesn't mean an erection will last this entire duration, but rather that the medication may help achieve erections during this timeframe when sexually aroused. Taking Viagra with heavy or fatty meals may delay its onset of action, so timing considerations are important for optimal results.

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.
