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.

Who Can Prescribe Sildenafil 100mg

Sildenafil 100mg is a prescription-only medicine (POM) in the UK, meaning it can only be prescribed by qualified medical professionals. EverydayMeds works exclusively with GMC-registered prescribers who are licensed to prescribe erectile dysfunction treatments. These qualified professionals review your medical information and determine whether sildenafil 100mg is appropriate for your individual circumstances. The prescription requirement exists to ensure patient safety, as sildenafil can interact dangerously with certain medications and medical conditions.

Essential Medical Information Required

Your prescription application must include comprehensive medical details. This includes your current medications, any heart conditions, blood pressure issues, liver problems, and history of stroke or heart attack. The prescriber needs to know about any nitrate medications you're taking, as combining these with sildenafil can cause dangerous blood pressure drops. Be honest about recreational drug use, particularly substances containing nitrates, as these create serious safety risks.

Previous erectile dysfunction treatments and their effectiveness are also relevant. If you've tried sildenafil before, mention your experience with different dosages and any side effects encountered. This information helps the prescriber determine if 100mg is the appropriate strength or if you should start with a lower dose.

Age and Health Eligibility Criteria

Sildenafil 100mg prescriptions are only available to adult males aged 18 and over who experience erectile dysfunction. The prescriber assesses your overall health, particularly cardiovascular fitness, as sexual activity places additional strain on the heart. Men with severe heart disease, recent heart attacks or strokes within six months, or very low blood pressure may not be suitable candidates for sildenafil treatment.

Certain medical conditions require careful evaluation before prescribing sildenafil 100mg. These include diabetes, high blood pressure, liver problems, kidney disease, and blood disorders. Having these conditions doesn't automatically disqualify you, but the prescriber needs full information to make a safe prescribing decision.

Drug Interaction Assessment

One of the most critical aspects of the prescription process involves checking for dangerous drug interactions. Sildenafil 100mg must never be taken with nitrate medications, including GTN spray, isosorbide tablets, or recreational drugs containing nitrates. This combination can cause life-threatening blood pressure drops requiring emergency medical treatment.

Other medications requiring careful evaluation include alpha-blockers for prostate problems, HIV medications, certain antibiotics and antifungals, and other blood pressure treatments. The prescriber reviews all your current medications, including over-the-counter treatments and supplements, to identify potential interactions before approving your prescription.

Online Consultation Process at EverydayMeds

EverydayMeds has streamlined the prescription process through our comprehensive online consultation system. You complete a detailed medical questionnaire covering all relevant health information, current medications, and erectile dysfunction symptoms. This questionnaire is designed to capture all information our prescribers need to make an informed decision about your treatment.

Our system includes automatic safety checks that flag potential contraindications or concerning medication combinations. If any issues are identified, the prescriber may request additional information or recommend an alternative approach. This thorough process ensures you receive appropriate treatment while maintaining the highest safety standards.

What Happens After Prescription Approval

Once your prescription is approved, you can choose between branded Viagra or generic sildenafil at checkout - both contain the same active ingredient and are equally effective. Your medication is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your chosen address. All packaging is unmarked, protecting your privacy throughout the process.

Your prescription remains valid for repeat orders, though periodic reviews ensure your treatment remains appropriate. If your health circumstances change or you start new medications, inform us immediately as this may affect your sildenafil prescription requirements.

What to Expect During Treatment

Sildenafil 100mg should be taken approximately 30-60 minutes before sexual activity, with effects lasting up to 4-6 hours. Take only one tablet per 24-hour period, regardless of effectiveness. The medication works only with sexual stimulation and doesn't cause automatic erections. High-fat meals may delay the medication's onset, so consider taking it on an empty stomach for optimal results.

Common side effects include headaches, facial flushing, indigestion, and nasal congestion. These are usually mild and temporary. However, seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than four hours.

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.
