Essential Requirements for Viagra Prescription
Eligibility and Medical Assessment Requirements
To obtain Viagra in the UK, you must be an adult male aged 18 or over experiencing erectile dysfunction. The MHRA requires all patients to complete a thorough medical assessment with a UK-licensed prescriber before treatment can be approved. This assessment evaluates your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history to ensure Viagra is safe and appropriate for you.
Contraindications and Safety Considerations
Certain medical conditions and medications make Viagra unsuitable. You cannot take Viagra if you're using nitrate medications such as GTN spray or isosorbide, as this creates a dangerous drug interaction. Other contraindications include severe heart disease, recent heart attack or stroke within six months, severe liver impairment, or very low blood pressure. Always declare your complete medical history during consultation.
Dosage Options and Administration Guidelines
Viagra is available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. The typical starting dose is 50mg, taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Based on effectiveness and tolerability, your prescriber may adjust this to 25mg or increase to 100mg. You must not exceed one dose per 24-hour period. Fatty meals may delay the medication's onset of action.
Treatment Options: Branded vs Generic
EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra manufactured by Pfizer and generic sildenafil containing the same active ingredient. Both medications work identically, with generic sildenafil providing a more cost-effective option. You can choose your preferred option during checkout following successful consultation. Both require the same prescription process and medical assessment.
How Viagra Works and Expected Results
Viagra is a PDE5 inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis when you're sexually aroused. The medication does not cause automatic erection - sexual stimulation is still required. Effects typically begin within 30-60 minutes and may last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean erection duration. The medication enhances your natural response to sexual stimulation rather than replacing it.
