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 Get Viagra Prescription Online in UK

Understanding UK Prescription Requirements for Viagra

Viagra is classified as a prescription-only medicine (POM) in the UK, meaning it legally requires a prescription from a qualified healthcare professional. This requirement exists to ensure patient safety, as Viagra can interact dangerously with certain medications and may not be suitable for men with specific health conditions. At EverydayMeds, our UK-registered doctors conduct thorough clinical assessments to determine if Viagra or sildenafil is appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Online Consultation Process

Our streamlined online consultation allows you to access Viagra treatment from home whilst meeting all UK regulatory requirements. The process begins with a comprehensive medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and symptoms. Our licensed prescribers review each consultation individually, assessing factors including cardiovascular health, blood pressure, and potential drug interactions. If approved, you can choose between branded Viagra or generic sildenafil at checkout - both contain the same active ingredient but sildenafil offers a more cost-effective option.

Clinical Assessment Criteria

UK doctors must evaluate several key factors before prescribing Viagra. These include checking you're not taking nitrate medications (such as GTN spray), assessing cardiovascular fitness, and reviewing your medical history for conditions like recent heart attack, stroke, or severe liver problems. The assessment also considers your blood pressure levels, as Viagra can cause a temporary drop in blood pressure. Men taking certain medications or with specific health conditions may not be suitable candidates for treatment.

Available Dosages and Treatment Options

Viagra is available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths, with 50mg typically being the starting dose. Your prescriber may recommend adjusting the dose based on effectiveness and any side effects experienced. Generic sildenafil is available in the same strengths and works identically to branded Viagra. The medication should be taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity, with effects lasting up to 4-6 hours. Only one dose should be taken within a 24-hour period.

Safety Considerations and Contraindications

Certain men cannot safely take Viagra due to serious health risks. The medication is contraindicated for those taking nitrate medications due to potentially dangerous blood pressure drops. Men with severe heart disease, recent heart attack or stroke (within 6 months), severe liver impairment, or very low blood pressure should not use Viagra. Your online consultation will identify any contraindications to ensure your safety.

Getting Started with EverydayMeds

To begin your consultation for Viagra, simply complete our online medical questionnaire. This typically takes 5-10 minutes and covers all necessary clinical information. Our UK-licensed doctors review consultations promptly, usually within hours during working days. If approved, your prescription is processed and you can select your preferred treatment option - branded Viagra or generic sildenafil. Medication is dispensed from our UK pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your chosen address, typically within 1-2 working days.

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.
