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.

Step-by-Step Guide to Ordering Your First Sildenafil Prescription

Starting Your Online Assessment

Your first sildenafil order begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment designed to ensure this treatment is safe and appropriate for you. The online consultation takes approximately 10-15 minutes and covers your medical history, current medications, and specific symptoms. UK-licensed prescribers review every assessment personally, ensuring you receive professional medical oversight equivalent to an in-person consultation.

The questionnaire addresses important safety considerations including cardiovascular health, current medications that might interact with sildenafil, and any contraindications. Answer all questions honestly and thoroughly - this information protects your health and ensures you receive the most suitable treatment. If you're taking nitrate medications for heart conditions or have recent cardiovascular events, alternative treatments may be more appropriate.

Understanding Your Treatment Options

During your first order, you'll discover that EverydayMeds offers both generic sildenafil and branded Viagra - both containing the same active ingredient with identical effectiveness. Generic sildenafil provides excellent value whilst maintaining the same quality standards, whilst some patients prefer the branded Viagra option. Both are available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths.

Your prescriber will recommend a starting dose, typically 50mg, which can be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerability. First-time users often benefit from starting with the standard dose and working with their prescriber to optimise treatment. The maximum dose is 100mg, and you should never take more than one tablet in 24 hours.

Prescription Review and Approval Process

Once you submit your assessment, a UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information within hours during normal working days. They may approve your prescription, request additional information, or recommend alternative treatments based on your individual circumstances. This professional review ensures you receive safe, personalised care through the online service.

If approved, your prescription is sent electronically to EverydayMeds' GPhC-registered pharmacy for dispensing. You'll receive email confirmation of your prescription approval along with detailed information about your medication, including how to take it safely and what to expect.

Placing Your First Order

With an approved prescription, ordering becomes straightforward. Log into your secure account and select your preferred medication - either generic sildenafil or branded Viagra. Choose your quantity, typically starting with a one-month supply to assess effectiveness before committing to larger quantities.

At checkout, select your preferred delivery option. Standard delivery usually arrives within 2-3 working days, whilst next-day delivery ensures you receive treatment quickly. All packaging is completely discreet with no indication of contents, protecting your privacy throughout the process.

Preparing for Your First Dose

Before taking your first sildenafil tablet, read the patient information leaflet thoroughly and understand proper usage guidelines. Take one tablet approximately 30-60 minutes before planned sexual activity, allowing time for absorption. Avoid large or fatty meals beforehand as these can delay effectiveness.

Remember that sildenafil requires sexual arousal to work - it doesn't automatically cause erections but helps achieve them when sexually stimulated. Effects typically last 4-6 hours, during which time you may find it easier to achieve and maintain erections suitable for sexual activity.

Managing Expectations and Side Effects

First-time users should understand that sildenafil works for approximately 70-80% of men with erectile dysfunction, and it may take several attempts to achieve optimal results. Common side effects include headaches, facial flushing, and mild indigestion - these are usually temporary and often diminish with continued use.

Monitor your response carefully during first use. If you experience chest pain, prolonged erections lasting over four hours, or sudden vision changes, seek immediate medical attention. Most men tolerate sildenafil well, but individual responses vary.

Setting Up Repeat Prescriptions

After successfully using your first supply, setting up repeat prescriptions through your EverydayMeds account streamlines future orders. Your prescriber can authorise multiple supplies, allowing convenient reordering without repeating the full assessment process each time.

Regular medication reviews ensure your treatment remains appropriate and effective. Contact your prescriber if you experience reduced effectiveness, concerning side effects, or changes in your health status that might affect treatment suitability.

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.
