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 Sildenafil Oral Jelly Works

What is Sildenafil Oral Jelly?

Sildenafil oral jelly contains the same active ingredient as Viagra tablets but in a gel format that dissolves on the tongue. This formulation may be absorbed more quickly than traditional tablets, potentially reducing the time to effectiveness. The jelly sachets are flavoured and offer an alternative for men who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Dosage and Administration

Sildenafil oral jelly is typically available in 50mg and 100mg sachets. The standard starting dose is 50mg, taken approximately 15-30 minutes before sexual activity. Your prescriber may adjust this to 25mg or 100mg based on your response and tolerability. Only one dose should be taken within any 24-hour period. Simply squeeze the contents of one sachet onto your tongue and allow it to dissolve.

Effectiveness and Duration

Clinical studies suggest oral jelly formulations may work 10-15 minutes faster than tablets due to quicker absorption. Effects typically last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean an erection will persist for this duration. Sexual stimulation is still required for the medication to work effectively. Fatty meals may delay absorption, so consider taking on an empty stomach for optimal results.

Choosing Between Branded and Generic

EverydayMeds offers both Viagra and generic sildenafil options at checkout. Both contain identical active ingredients and meet the same rigorous UK safety standards. Generic sildenafil provides the same effectiveness at a lower cost, whilst some patients prefer the branded Viagra option. Your choice can be made during the ordering process following your consultation.

Safety Considerations

Sildenafil oral jelly has the same contraindications as tablet forms. It must not be taken with nitrate medications, certain heart conditions, or severe liver problems. A thorough medical assessment is required before prescription. Common side effects may include headache, facial flushing, or indigestion. Always follow your prescriber's instructions and report any concerning symptoms immediately.

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.
