Your Complete Viagra Purchasing Options Checklist
Over-the-Counter Options
Viagra Connect 50mg is the only erectile dysfunction treatment available without prescription in the UK. You can purchase this from registered high street pharmacies following a brief consultation with the pharmacist. The pharmacist will ask questions about your health, current medications, and symptoms to ensure it's suitable for you.
Prescription-Only Medicine Routes
For stronger doses or the full range of options, prescription-only medicines require consultation with a UK-licensed prescriber. EverydayMeds offers both Viagra (branded) and Sildenafil (generic) through our online clinical assessment service. Patients can choose between the branded Viagra or the more cost-effective Sildenafil generic at checkout - both contain the same active ingredient.
Online Consultation Process
The online consultation involves completing a comprehensive health questionnaire reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers. This assessment evaluates your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history to ensure treatment safety. The process typically takes 24-48 hours for approval, with discreet next-day delivery available.
Safety Requirements and Contraindications
Whether purchasing over-the-counter or via prescription, certain safety criteria must be met. You cannot take sildenafil if you're using nitrate medications, have severe heart disease, recent heart attack or stroke, or severe liver problems. Always declare all current medications during consultation as dangerous interactions can occur.
Dosage Guidelines
Viagra Connect provides 50mg tablets, whilst prescription options include 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. The starting dose is typically 50mg, taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Only one dose should be taken per 24-hour period, and fatty meals may delay effectiveness.
