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.

Understanding Your Viagra Treatment Options

Prescription vs Over-the-Counter Options

Whilst Viagra Connect (50mg sildenafil) is available over the counter from pharmacies, prescription Viagra offers several advantages. Doctor-prescribed treatment provides access to the full range of dosages (25mg, 50mg, and 100mg), allowing for personalised treatment based on your individual response and medical history. Our UK-licensed prescribers can assess your cardiovascular health, review potential drug interactions, and determine the most appropriate starting dose for your circumstances.

Branded Viagra vs Generic Sildenafil

At checkout, EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil options. Both contain the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) and work identically in your body. The primary difference lies in cost - generic sildenafil typically offers significant savings whilst maintaining the same clinical effectiveness. Many patients find generic sildenafil provides excellent value without compromising on treatment quality.

How Viagra Works for Erectile Dysfunction

Viagra belongs to a class of medications called PDE5 inhibitors. It works by blocking the phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme, which increases blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. It's important to understand that Viagra doesn't cause automatic erections - sexual stimulation is still required. The medication typically begins working within 30-60 minutes of taking and its effects can last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean erections last this duration.

Determining Your Appropriate Dosage

Most men start with a 50mg dose, which can be adjusted based on effectiveness and any side effects experienced. Some patients may benefit from reducing to 25mg if they experience unwanted effects, whilst others might require 100mg for optimal results. Our prescribers evaluate your medical history, current medications, and individual circumstances to recommend the most suitable starting dose. Remember, only one dose should be taken within any 24-hour period.

Safety Considerations and Medical Assessment

Viagra isn't suitable for everyone, which is why proper medical assessment is crucial. Men taking nitrate medications (such as GTN spray for angina) cannot safely use Viagra due to dangerous blood pressure interactions. Those with severe heart disease, recent stroke or heart attack, or severe liver problems may also be unsuitable candidates. Our clinical assessment process evaluates these factors to ensure treatment safety.

You'll receive a thorough clinical assessment from UK-licensed prescribers, ensuring treatment appropriateness and safety. We offer competitive pricing on both Viagra and sildenafil options, with discreet packaging and reliable delivery.

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.
