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.

Essential Storage Requirements for Maximum Potency

Temperature Control and Environmental Factors

Viagra 100mg tablets should be stored at room temperature between 15-30°C (59-86°F). Extreme temperatures can break down the active ingredient sildenafil citrate, reducing the medication's effectiveness. Avoid storing tablets near radiators, in direct sunlight, or in locations that experience temperature fluctuations like kitchens or bathrooms. The same storage principles apply to generic sildenafil tablets available through EverydayMeds.

Moisture and Light Protection

Keep Viagra tablets in their original blister packaging until ready to use. The packaging is specifically designed to protect against moisture and light exposure, both of which can degrade the medication. Never transfer tablets to pill organisers or alternative containers unless absolutely necessary. If you must use a pill organiser, choose one with individual sealed compartments and only fill it for short periods.

Safe Storage Locations

Choose a cool, dry cupboard away from children and pets. Bedroom drawers or dedicated medicine cabinets in cool rooms are ideal locations. Avoid bathroom cabinets where steam from showers can create humidity, and never leave tablets in cars where temperatures can fluctuate dramatically. A bedside drawer is often the most practical location for discrete storage whilst meeting temperature requirements.

Expiry Date Management

Check expiry dates when you receive your medication and set reminders to review them periodically. Expired Viagra may be less effective and should never be used. EverydayMeds ensures fresh stock with good expiry dates for both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil options. If you have expired tablets, return them to any UK pharmacy for safe disposal rather than throwing them in household waste.

Travel Considerations

When travelling with Viagra 100mg, keep tablets in carry-on luggage where temperature is controlled. If driving long distances, avoid leaving medication in hot cars. For international travel, keep tablets in original packaging with your name clearly visible to avoid customs issues. Consider requesting a prescription letter from your prescriber for extended travel periods.

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.
