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 your Viagra starter pack is straightforward with EverydayMeds' online pharmacy service. Begin by completing our confidential medical questionnaire, which covers your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. A UK-licensed prescriber will review your assessment within hours, ensuring Viagra is safe and appropriate for you. Once approved, you can choose between branded Viagra or the generic sildenafil alternative at checkout - both contain the same active ingredient but differ in price.

How Long Does Viagra Work?

Viagra typically begins working within 30-60 minutes of taking the tablet, with effects potentially lasting 4-6 hours. This doesn't mean you'll have an erection for hours - rather, you may find it easier to achieve and maintain erections during this window when sexually aroused. The duration can vary based on factors like age, overall health, dosage taken, and whether you've consumed alcohol or fatty foods beforehand.

Understanding Your Dosage Options

Most men start with a 50mg dose, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Depending on effectiveness and any side effects experienced, your prescriber might adjust this to 25mg or 100mg in future consultations. Remember to take only one tablet per 24-hour period, and avoid fatty meals which can delay the medication's onset. Your starter pack allows you to trial the treatment under medical supervision.

Choosing Between Viagra and Sildenafil

EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil, giving you choice at checkout. Both medications contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way - the main difference is cost. Sildenafil represents excellent value while Viagra offers the original branded formulation. Your prescriber can discuss which option might suit your preferences and budget during the consultation process.

What to Expect During Treatment

After taking Viagra, you should notice improved ability to achieve erections when sexually stimulated. The medication works by increasing blood flow to the penis, but sexual arousal is still necessary. Side effects are generally mild and may include headaches, flushing, or indigestion. These typically decrease as your body adjusts to treatment. If you experience any concerning symptoms or the medication isn't working effectively, contact our clinical team for guidance.

Ongoing Support and Repeat Prescriptions

EverydayMeds provides continuing care beyond your initial starter pack. Our prescribers can adjust dosages, switch between Viagra and sildenafil if needed, or explore alternative treatments if required. Repeat prescriptions are available through follow-up consultations, ensuring you maintain consistent access to effective treatment. Our customer service team is available to answer questions about your medication or delivery throughout your treatment journey.

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.
