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 How Viagra Works for Erectile Dysfunction

Viagra contains the active ingredient sildenafil citrate, which belongs to a class of medications called PDE5 inhibitors. When you're sexually aroused, Viagra helps increase blood flow to the penis by blocking the PDE5 enzyme. This enhanced blood flow can help you achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. It's important to understand that Viagra doesn't automatically cause an erection - sexual stimulation is still required for the medication to work effectively.

Effectiveness and What to Expect

Clinical trials demonstrate that Viagra is effective for approximately 70% of men with erectile dysfunction. The medication typically begins working within 30-60 minutes of taking a tablet, with effects lasting up to 4-6 hours. This doesn't mean your erection will last for hours, but rather that you may find it easier to achieve erections during this timeframe when sexually aroused. Factors such as age, underlying health conditions, and other medications can influence how well Viagra works for individual patients.

Your EverydayMeds Ordering Process

Getting your first ED treatment through EverydayMeds is straightforward and completely confidential. Start by completing our online medical questionnaire, which covers your health history, current medications, and symptoms. This information is reviewed by one of our UK-licensed prescribers who will determine if Viagra or sildenafil is suitable for you. If approved, you'll be able to choose between branded Viagra or generic sildenafil at checkout - both contain the same active ingredient but sildenafil offers a more cost-effective option.

Dosage Options and Starting Treatment

Viagra and sildenafil are available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. Most men start with the 50mg dose, which can be adjusted based on effectiveness and any side effects experienced. Your prescriber will recommend the most appropriate starting dose based on your medical assessment. Take your tablet approximately one hour before planned sexual activity, and remember that you should not take more than one dose in any 24-hour period.

Safety Considerations and Contraindications

While Viagra is generally well-tolerated, it's not suitable for everyone. Men taking nitrate medications for heart conditions should not use Viagra due to the risk of dangerous blood pressure drops. The medication is also contraindicated for men with severe heart disease, recent stroke or heart attack, or severe liver problems. Our online consultation process screens for these conditions to ensure your safety. Common side effects may include headaches, facial flushing, and indigestion, which are usually mild and temporary.

Ongoing Support and Repeat Prescriptions

Once you've started treatment, EverydayMeds provides ongoing support to ensure your medication continues to work effectively. You can easily order repeat prescriptions through your online account, and our medical team is available to adjust your dosage or discuss any concerns. We also offer regular medication reviews to ensure your treatment remains appropriate as your health needs change.

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.
