How to Renew Your ED Prescription Online
Simple Online Prescription Renewal Process
Renewing your erectile dysfunction prescription through EverydayMeds is straightforward and convenient. Our online consultation process allows you to access genuine Viagra or sildenafil without visiting your GP in person. Simply complete our clinical assessment questionnaire, which will be reviewed by a UK-licensed prescriber who can issue a new prescription if clinically appropriate.
Choose Between Viagra and Sildenafil
At checkout, you can select between branded Viagra and generic sildenafil - both contain the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) and work identically. The main difference is cost, with generic sildenafil typically being more affordable while maintaining the same effectiveness and safety profile. Both options are available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths.
Clinical Assessment Requirements
Our prescribers need to evaluate your suitability for sildenafil treatment through a comprehensive clinical assessment. This includes reviewing your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health. The assessment helps ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances. You'll need to provide accurate information about any heart conditions, blood pressure medications, or other treatments you're taking.
Safety Considerations and Contraindications
Sildenafil (whether branded Viagra or generic) cannot be prescribed to everyone. It's not suitable if you're taking nitrate medications for heart conditions, have severe heart disease, very low blood pressure, or recent history of heart attack or stroke. The medication can interact dangerously with certain drugs, particularly nitrates like GTN spray. Our prescribers will carefully review any contraindications during your consultation.
How Sildenafil Works
Sildenafil is a PDE5 inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis when sexually aroused. It typically works within 30-60 minutes of taking and effects may last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean an erection lasts this long. The medication requires sexual stimulation to work effectively. Taking it with fatty meals may delay the onset of action.
Dosage and Usage Guidelines
The starting dose is usually 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Based on effectiveness and tolerability, your prescriber might adjust this to 25mg or 100mg. Only take one dose per 24-hour period. If you experience side effects like headaches, flushing, or indigestion, a lower dose might be more suitable.
Ongoing Prescription Management
Once you've established a prescription through EverydayMeds, reordering is simple through our repeat prescription service. Regular reviews ensure the treatment remains appropriate and effective for your needs. You can manage your prescription online, with reminders available to help you reorder before running out of medication.
