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

Getting Viagra has never been easier with our streamlined online consultation process. Our UK-licensed clinicians assess your eligibility through a comprehensive medical questionnaire that takes just 5 minutes to complete. Once approved, you can choose between Viagra (branded) or sildenafil (generic) - both contain the same active ingredient but sildenafil offers a more cost-effective option.

Understanding How Long Viagra Takes to Work

Viagra typically begins working within 30-60 minutes of taking the tablet, though this can vary between individuals. The medication works by increasing blood flow to the penis when you're sexually aroused - it doesn't cause automatic erections. Effects can last 4-6 hours, giving you flexibility for intimate moments. Taking Viagra on an empty stomach may help it work faster, as fatty foods can delay absorption.

Who Can Use Viagra Treatment

Viagra is suitable for adult men over 18 experiencing erectile dysfunction. Our online consultation evaluates your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health to ensure safe prescribing. You may not be suitable for Viagra if you take nitrate medications (like GTN spray), have severe heart conditions, or take certain blood pressure medications. Our clinicians will review your individual circumstances during the assessment.

Your Treatment Options at EverydayMeds

We offer both Viagra (the original Pfizer brand) and sildenafil (generic equivalent) in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. Most men start with 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your prescriber may adjust the dose based on effectiveness and any side effects. Remember, only take one tablet per 24-hour period for safe use.

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.
