How to Start Viagra Treatment with EverydayMeds
Complete Your Online Consultation Today
Starting your Viagra treatment with EverydayMeds is straightforward and completely confidential. Our online consultation process connects you with UK-licensed prescribers who can assess your suitability for Viagra or generic sildenafil. The medical questionnaire covers your general health, current medications, and specific concerns about erectile dysfunction. This clinical assessment typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete and ensures the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
How Viagra Works for Erectile Dysfunction
Viagra contains sildenafil citrate, which belongs to a group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. When you're sexually aroused, your body naturally releases nitric oxide, which increases blood flow to the penis. Viagra works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme that normally breaks down this process, allowing increased blood flow to be maintained. This mechanism helps you achieve and maintain an erection during sexual activity.
It's important to understand that Viagra doesn't cause automatic erections. Sexual stimulation is still required for the medication to be effective. The treatment typically works within 30-60 minutes of taking it, and the effects can last up to 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean your erection will last this long.
Viagra vs Generic Sildenafil - Your Choice at Checkout
EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs and budget. Both contain exactly the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate - and work in the same way. The main difference is that generic sildenafil typically costs less than the branded Viagra tablets. Many patients find that generic sildenafil provides the same effectiveness as Viagra at a more affordable price point.
During checkout, you can select your preferred option. Both are prescription-only medicines that require the same clinical assessment and are manufactured to the same strict quality standards required in the UK.
Starting Doses and What to Expect
Most men start with a 50mg dose of sildenafil, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your prescriber may recommend starting with 25mg if you have certain health conditions or take specific medications, or they might suggest 100mg if the 50mg dose proves insufficient. You should only take one dose in any 24-hour period, and it's worth noting that fatty meals may delay how quickly the medication works.
If you experience side effects or find the treatment isn't as effective as hoped, your dose can be adjusted during follow-up consultations. Common side effects are generally mild and may include headaches, facial flushing, or indigestion. These typically improve as your body adjusts to the medication.
Safe Treatment Through Proper Medical Assessment
Viagra and sildenafil are prescription-only medicines because they can interact with certain medications and aren't suitable for all men. During your online consultation, the prescriber will check for any contraindications, such as current use of nitrate medications for heart conditions, recent heart problems, or severe liver issues. This clinical assessment ensures your safety and helps identify the most appropriate treatment approach for your individual circumstances.
Your consultation also provides an opportunity to discuss any concerns about erectile dysfunction and understand how the treatment fits into your lifestyle. The prescriber can provide guidance on timing, expectations, and when to seek further medical advice.
