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.

Complete Viagra Storage Instructions for UK Patients

Temperature Requirements for Viagra Storage

Viagra tablets should be stored at room temperature between 15-30°C (59-86°F). Avoid storing near radiators, direct sunlight, or in cars where temperatures can fluctuate dramatically. High temperatures can break down the active ingredient sildenafil citrate, reducing the medication's effectiveness. Cold storage isn't necessary - room temperature storage in a bedroom drawer or cupboard is ideal.

Protecting from Light and Moisture

Always keep Viagra tablets in their original blister packaging until ready to use. The packaging is specifically designed to protect against light exposure and moisture, which can degrade the medication. Never transfer tablets to pill organisers or alternative containers unless specifically advised by your pharmacist. Bathroom storage is particularly unsuitable due to humidity from showers and baths.

Safe Storage Away from Children and Pets

Store Viagra in a secure location inaccessible to children and pets. Consider a locked medicine cabinet or high shelf. Accidental ingestion by children can cause serious health complications including dangerous drops in blood pressure. Even small amounts can be harmful, so secure storage is essential for household safety.

Checking Expiry Dates and Disposal

Regularly check expiry dates on your Viagra packaging. Expired medication may be less effective and potentially unsafe. Never use Viagra beyond its expiry date. For safe disposal of expired or unwanted tablets, return them to any UK pharmacy through the NHS medicine return scheme. Don't flush tablets down toilets or put in household waste.

Choosing Between Viagra and Generic Sildenafil

Whether you choose branded Viagra or generic sildenafil from EverydayMeds, storage requirements remain identical. Both contain the same active ingredient and require the same careful storage conditions. Generic sildenafil offers the same effectiveness at a lower cost, making it an increasingly popular choice among UK patients when they order viagra on the internet.

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.
