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.

How to Access Sildenafil Treatment Online

Online Consultation Process for Sildenafil

Accessing sildenafil treatment through EverydayMeds begins with completing our comprehensive online consultation. This clinical assessment is conducted by UK-licensed prescribers who evaluate your medical history, current medications, and overall health to determine if sildenafil is appropriate for you. The consultation typically takes 5-10 minutes and covers essential health questions to ensure your safety.

Prescription Requirements Under UK Regulations

According to BNF guidelines, sildenafil is classified as a prescription-only medicine (POM) for erectile dysfunction treatment. This means you must obtain a valid prescription from a qualified healthcare professional before purchasing. Our online prescribers follow strict regulatory standards to assess cardiovascular health, medication interactions, and contraindications before approving treatment.

Choose Between Generic Sildenafil or Branded Viagra

At checkout, you can select between generic sildenafil or branded Viagra - both contain the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) and are equally effective. Generic sildenafil offers the same therapeutic benefits at a lower cost, whilst branded Viagra is the original formulation by Pfizer. Available strengths include 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets for both options.

Eligibility Criteria for Sildenafil Treatment

To qualify for sildenafil treatment, you must be an adult male (18+) experiencing erectile dysfunction. Our prescribers will assess your cardiovascular health, as sildenafil can affect blood pressure and interact with heart medications. You'll need to disclose any current medications, particularly nitrates (GTN spray, isosorbide), blood pressure medications, and alpha-blockers, as these can cause dangerous interactions.

Contraindications and Safety Considerations

Certain medical conditions may prevent sildenafil prescription. These include severe heart disease, recent heart attack or stroke (within 6 months), severe liver impairment, or current use of nitrate medications. Our prescribers carefully review your medical history to identify any contraindications and ensure sildenafil is safe for you.

Dosing Guidelines and Usage Instructions

Most patients start with sildenafil 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Depending on effectiveness and tolerability, your prescriber may adjust the dose to 25mg or 100mg. Take only one tablet within 24 hours, and avoid fatty meals which can delay the medication's onset. The effects typically last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean continuous erection.

Secure Ordering and Discreet Delivery

Once your consultation is approved, you can complete your order through our secure checkout system. We offer discreet packaging with no identifying marks, protecting your privacy. Choose from standard delivery (2-3 working days) or next-day delivery options. All medications are dispensed by our UK-registered pharmacy and delivered by trusted courier services.

Ongoing Support and Repeat Prescriptions

EverydayMeds provides ongoing support from qualified pharmacists for any questions about your treatment. Repeat prescriptions are available through simplified consultations, provided your medical circumstances haven't changed significantly. Our customer support team can assist with dosing questions, delivery inquiries, and general medication guidance.

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.
