Your Complete Guide to Accessing Viagra and Sildenafil
Over-the-Counter Options: Viagra Connect
Viagra Connect contains 50mg sildenafil and represents the only form of Viagra available without prescription in UK pharmacies. However, you'll still need a consultation with a qualified pharmacist who will assess suitability based on age, health conditions, and current medications. This option may be suitable for men over 18 with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction and no significant health complications.
Prescription Strength: Full Viagra Range
For access to the complete range of Viagra strengths (25mg, 50mg, 100mg), you'll need a prescription from a UK-licensed prescriber. EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil through our online consultation service. Many patients find the generic sildenafil equally effective whilst being more cost-effective - you can choose between branded or generic options at checkout.
How the Online Process Works
Our streamlined process begins with completing a comprehensive medical questionnaire reviewed by UK-registered doctors. This assessment covers your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health - essential factors since sildenafil affects blood flow. Once approved, you can select either Viagra or sildenafil, with discreet packaging and next-day delivery available.
Supporting Your Partner Through Treatment
ED affects relationships, not just individuals. Understanding that both Viagra and sildenafil require sexual stimulation to work can help manage expectations. The medication doesn't create automatic erections but enhances natural response when aroused. Effects typically begin within 30-60 minutes and may last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean continuous erection.
Safety Considerations and Contraindications
Sildenafil cannot be taken alongside nitrate medications (such as GTN spray) due to dangerous blood pressure interactions. Men with severe heart conditions, recent strokes, or very low blood pressure may not be suitable candidates. Our clinical assessment identifies these factors to ensure safe prescribing. Always disclose all medications and health conditions during consultation.
