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 or sildenafil through EverydayMeds is straightforward and completely confidential. Start by completing our clinical questionnaire, which takes just 2-3 minutes. Our UK-licensed prescribers will review your medical history and current health status to determine if Viagra is suitable for you. Once approved, you can choose between genuine Pfizer Viagra or cost-effective generic sildenafil at checkout - both contain the same active ingredient and work identically.

Understanding How Long Viagra Works

Viagra typically provides effective results for 4-6 hours after taking a tablet. This doesn't mean you'll have an erection for the entire duration - rather, it means you may find it easier to achieve and maintain erections when sexually aroused during this timeframe. Most men notice effects beginning within 30-60 minutes of taking their dose. The medication works by increasing blood flow to the penis when you're sexually stimulated, so arousal is still necessary for it to be effective.

Factors That May Affect Duration

Several factors can influence how long Viagra works for you personally. Taking the medication on an empty stomach typically results in faster onset, whilst fatty meals may delay effects by 30-60 minutes. Your age, overall health, and metabolism can also affect duration. The standard starting dose is 50mg, though your prescriber may recommend 25mg or 100mg based on your individual needs and response. Remember to take only one dose per 24-hour period.

Discreet Packaging and Fast UK Delivery

EverydayMeds understands the importance of privacy when ordering ED treatments. All medications arrive in completely unmarked, discreet packaging with no indication of contents. Choose from standard UK delivery or upgrade to next-day service for urgent requirements. Our pharmacy is fully registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council, ensuring you receive genuine medications safely and legally.

Viagra vs Sildenafil: What's the Difference?

Both Viagra and generic sildenafil contain the identical active ingredient - sildenafil citrate. The main differences are price and packaging. Viagra is the original branded version manufactured by Pfizer, whilst sildenafil is the generic equivalent that costs significantly less. Both are equally effective and last the same duration. Many patients choose generic sildenafil for ongoing treatment due to the cost savings, particularly for regular 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.
