Essential Viagra Information for UK Patients
How Does Viagra Work?
Viagra contains sildenafil citrate, a PDE5 inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. It doesn't cause automatic erections but enhances your natural response to sexual stimulation. Effects typically begin within 30-60 minutes and may last up to 4-6 hours.
Choosing Between Viagra and Sildenafil
EverydayMeds offers both Pfizer's branded Viagra and generic sildenafil at checkout. Both contain identical active ingredients and work the same way. Generic sildenafil provides the same effectiveness at a lower cost, whilst branded Viagra offers the assurance of Pfizer's original formulation.
Dosage and Administration
Available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. Most men start with 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your prescriber may adjust this to 25mg if you experience side effects, or 100mg if 50mg proves insufficient. Never exceed one dose per 24 hours.
Who Can Take Viagra?
Adult men with erectile dysfunction may be suitable candidates following clinical assessment. Our UK-licensed prescribers evaluate your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health. Men taking nitrates, with severe heart conditions, or recent stroke/heart attack typically cannot take sildenafil safely.
Common Side Effects
Mild side effects may include headaches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, or indigestion. These usually resolve as your body adjusts to treatment. Serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention, including prolonged erections lasting over four hours or sudden vision/hearing changes.
Getting Viagra Safely
Viagra requires prescription following consultation with qualified healthcare professionals. EverydayMeds provides confidential online consultations with UK-licensed prescribers who ensure treatment suitability and safety for your individual circumstances.
