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.

Prescription Requirements for Travel with Viagra

Essential Documentation for Travelling with Viagra

When travelling with Viagra or Sildenafil, proper documentation ensures smooth passage through customs and security. Always carry your prescription medication in its original packaging with the pharmacy label clearly visible. This label should display your name, prescriber details, and medication information. Additionally, request a prescription letter from your prescriber or pharmacy stating your medical need for the medication.

Choosing Between Viagra and Generic Sildenafil

Both branded Viagra and generic Sildenafil contain the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate. The choice often comes down to personal preference and cost considerations. Viagra offers the reassurance of the original branded product, whilst Sildenafil provides identical effectiveness at a lower price point. EverydayMeds allows patients to choose between both options during checkout following their online consultation.

Dosage Recommendations for Travellers

The standard starting dose is 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Depending on effectiveness and tolerance, this may be adjusted to 25mg or 100mg. Never exceed one dose within 24 hours. Travel factors like time zone changes, alcohol consumption, and rich meals can affect how quickly the medication works. Fatty foods may delay onset, so consider timing your dose accordingly.

Travel-Specific Considerations

Different countries have varying regulations regarding prescription medications. Some destinations require advance approval for importing prescription drugs, even for personal use. Contact the embassy or consulate of your destination country for specific requirements. Consider carrying extra medication in case of travel delays, but only the amount reasonably required for your trip duration.

Safety Precautions Whilst Travelling

Certain travel activities may interact with Viagra use. The medication can cause a slight decrease in blood pressure, which may be more noticeable at high altitudes or when combined with alcohol. If you experience chest pain, dizziness, or visual disturbances, seek immediate medical attention. Ensure you know how to access emergency medical services at your destination.

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.
