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.

Essential Checks Before Starting Tablet Viagra

Pre-Treatment Health Assessment

Before considering tablet Viagra, ensure you meet the basic eligibility criteria. You must be an adult male experiencing erectile dysfunction and able to complete a clinical assessment. This evaluation examines your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history. Men taking nitrates such as GTN spray or isosorbide tablets cannot safely use Viagra due to dangerous blood pressure interactions. Similarly, those with severe heart disease, recent heart attacks, or very low blood pressure require alternative treatments.

Dosage and Administration Guidelines

Tablet Viagra is available in three strengths: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg. Most men start with the 50mg dose, which can be adjusted based on effectiveness and side effects. Take your tablet 30-60 minutes before planned sexual activity, but remember that sexual stimulation is still required for the medication to work. Avoid taking Viagra with large or fatty meals, as this may delay its effectiveness. Never exceed one tablet within 24 hours.

Choosing Between Viagra and Sildenafil

EverydayMeds provides both branded Viagra tablets and generic sildenafil options at checkout. Both contain the same active ingredient and work identically, but sildenafil typically costs less than the branded version. Your choice may depend on personal preference and budget considerations. Both options require the same prescription process and carry identical safety profiles.

Safety Monitoring and Side Effects

Common side effects include headaches, facial flushing, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. However, seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, sudden vision changes, or an erection lasting over four hours. Regular review of your treatment ensures continued safety and effectiveness. Contact your prescriber if you develop new health conditions or start taking additional medications.

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.
