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.

Step-by-Step Process for Ordering Viagra Online

Starting Your Online Viagra Order

When ordering Viagra through EverydayMeds, you'll first need to complete a clinical assessment. This online consultation with a UK-licensed prescriber evaluates your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health. The assessment typically takes 5-10 minutes and covers essential safety questions about heart conditions, blood pressure medications, and previous experiences with ED treatments.

Choosing Between Viagra and Sildenafil

At checkout, EverydayMeds offers both Viagra (the branded Pfizer product) and Sildenafil (the generic equivalent). Both contain the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate - and work identically. The main differences are cost and manufacturer. Sildenafil represents excellent value whilst maintaining the same clinical effectiveness as branded Viagra. Your choice depends on personal preference and budget considerations.

Common Eligibility Issues

The most frequent reason for prescription rejection involves contraindicated medications, particularly nitrates like GTN spray or isosorbide tablets used for angina. These create dangerous interactions with sildenafil. Other common issues include recent heart attacks or strokes (within 6 months), severe liver problems, or very low blood pressure. If you're taking alpha-blockers for prostate problems, dosage adjustments may be necessary.

Dosage Selection and Timing

First-time users typically start with 50mg tablets, taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. This can be adjusted to 25mg if side effects occur, or increased to 100mg if 50mg proves insufficient. Remember the maximum is one dose per 24 hours, and fatty meals can delay the medication's onset. The effects may last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean maintaining an erection for this duration.

Prescription Approval and Delivery

Once submitted, prescriptions are usually reviewed within 24 hours by UK-licensed prescribers. Approved orders are dispatched discreetly with next-day delivery options available. If your prescription requires clarification, EverydayMeds will contact you directly. Rejected prescriptions often relate to safety concerns, and alternative treatments may be suggested during the consultation process.

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.
