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.

Sildenafil Oral Jelly Dosage and Administration

Dosage Instructions for Sildenafil Oral Jelly

Sildenafil oral jelly typically comes in 100mg sachets, though your prescriber may recommend starting with a lower effective dose. The standard recommendation is one sachet taken 15-30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. Unlike traditional tablets, the jelly formulation may work more quickly due to faster absorption through the oral mucosa.

How to Take Sildenafil Oral Jelly Properly

Open the sachet and squeeze the entire contents directly onto your tongue, allowing it to dissolve naturally. Alternatively, you can mix the jelly with a small amount of water. The pleasant flavoured formulation makes it easier to take than traditional tablets. Avoid consuming large or fatty meals beforehand, as this may delay the medication's onset of action.

Timing and Frequency Guidelines

Take sildenafil oral jelly approximately 15-30 minutes before sexual activity for optimal results. The effects typically last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean you'll have an erection for this entire period - sexual stimulation is still required. Never exceed one dose within 24 hours, regardless of effectiveness. If you find the standard dose insufficient, consult your prescriber about adjusting your dosage rather than taking additional sachets.

Choosing Between Generic and Branded Options

At EverydayMeds, you can select between generic sildenafil oral jelly and branded alternatives during checkout. Both contain the same active ingredient and work identically - the choice often comes down to personal preference and cost considerations. Your online consultation will determine the most appropriate treatment option based on your individual medical history and requirements.

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.
