How Viagra Works and Your Treatment Options
Starting Your Viagra Treatment with EverydayMeds
Beginning ED treatment has never been more straightforward. Our online consultation process connects you with UK-licensed prescribers who assess your suitability for Viagra or sildenafil treatment. The consultation typically takes 5-10 minutes and covers your medical history, current medications, and symptoms.
During checkout, you can choose between branded Viagra or generic sildenafil - both contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way. Many patients opt for sildenafil as it offers the same effectiveness at a lower cost, whilst others prefer the original Viagra brand.
Understanding How Viagra and Sildenafil Work
Viagra works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This action increases blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal, helping to achieve and maintain erections. Importantly, Viagra does not cause automatic erections - sexual stimulation is still required for the medication to be effective.
The medication typically begins working within 30-60 minutes of taking it, with effects potentially lasting 4-6 hours. This doesn't mean your erection will last this long, but rather that you may find it easier to achieve erections during this timeframe when sexually aroused.
Dosage Options and Getting Started
Both Viagra and sildenafil are available in three strengths: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. Most men start with the 50mg dose, which can be adjusted up to 100mg or down to 25mg based on effectiveness and any side effects experienced.
Take your tablet 30-60 minutes before sexual activity, and remember that fatty meals may delay how quickly it works. You should only take one dose within any 24-hour period.
Safety Considerations and Who Can Take Viagra
Viagra and sildenafil are prescription-only medicines suitable for adult men experiencing erectile dysfunction. However, they're not suitable for everyone. The medication cannot be taken alongside nitrate medications (such as GTN spray) due to potentially dangerous interactions.
Our online consultation will assess whether Viagra is appropriate for your individual circumstances, considering factors such as cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history. This ensures you receive safe, effective treatment.
