Your Complete ED Treatment Options Guide
MHRA-Approved Treatment Options
EverydayMeds offers both Viagra (branded) and sildenafil (generic) as MHRA-approved treatments for erectile dysfunction. Both contain the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate - with the key difference being cost. Generic sildenafil provides an affordable alternative whilst maintaining identical effectiveness to branded Viagra.
Dosage Selection Checklist
Sildenafil is available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. Most men start with 50mg, taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Your prescriber may adjust this based on effectiveness and any side effects experienced. Remember, only one dose should be taken within any 24-hour period.
Essential Safety Considerations
Before choosing any erectile dysfunction treatment, certain medical conditions must be evaluated. Men taking nitrate medications (such as GTN spray) cannot safely use sildenafil due to dangerous blood pressure interactions. Recent heart attacks, strokes, or severe liver problems may also affect suitability.
Consultation Process
Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough clinical assessments covering your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health. This ensures the selected treatment is both safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances. The consultation process is confidential and completed entirely online.
Treatment Effectiveness
Both Viagra and generic sildenafil typically work within 30-60 minutes when sexually aroused. Effects can last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean maintaining an erection for this duration. Food, particularly fatty meals, may delay onset. Sexual stimulation remains necessary as these medications don't cause automatic erections.
