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 Effectively Monitor Your ED Treatment Progress

Establishing Baseline Measurements Before Treatment

Before starting Viagra or sildenafil treatment, it's important to establish baseline measurements with your healthcare provider. This includes recording blood pressure readings, current cardiovascular health status, and documenting the frequency of erectile dysfunction episodes. EverydayMeds clinicians assess these factors during your initial consultation to ensure safe prescribing. Keep a simple diary noting successful and unsuccessful attempts at sexual activity for 2-4 weeks before treatment begins.

Tracking Treatment Response and Effectiveness

Monitor your response to Viagra or sildenafil by recording the timing of doses, onset of effects (typically 30-60 minutes), and duration of improved erectile function. Note whether sexual stimulation leads to satisfactory erections and successful completion of intercourse. Track this information over 4-8 attempts to establish patterns. If 50mg proves insufficient, your prescriber may adjust to 25mg or 100mg based on effectiveness and tolerability. Both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil work identically, so patients can choose based on preference and budget.

Recognising When Dose Adjustments May Be Needed

Signs that dose adjustment might be beneficial include consistently delayed onset (longer than 90 minutes), reduced effectiveness over time, or persistent side effects like headaches or flushing. Conversely, if you experience prolonged erections lasting over 4 hours, dizziness, or chest pain, seek immediate medical attention. Your EverydayMeds prescriber can review your treatment diary and adjust dosing accordingly. Never exceed one dose per 24-hour period, regardless of effectiveness.

Cardiovascular Monitoring and Safety Checks

Regular blood pressure monitoring is particularly important for patients with existing cardiovascular conditions. Sildenafil can cause temporary blood pressure reduction, so tracking readings before and after treatment helps identify any concerning patterns. Schedule routine check-ups every 3-6 months to review cardiovascular health, especially if you're taking multiple medications. Always inform healthcare providers about your ED treatment when seeking care for other conditions.

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.
