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 Get Viagra Prescription Online

Online Consultation Process for Viagra

Getting a Viagra prescription through EverydayMeds involves a straightforward online consultation with our UK-registered prescribers. The clinical assessment typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete and covers your medical history, current medications, and erectile dysfunction symptoms. Our prescribers must ensure Viagra is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances before issuing any prescription.

Medical Requirements for Viagra Prescription

To qualify for a Viagra prescription, you must be an adult male experiencing erectile dysfunction. Our prescribers will assess your cardiovascular health, as Viagra can affect blood pressure and heart function. You'll need to disclose any heart conditions, blood pressure medications, or recent cardiovascular events. Men taking nitrate medications (such as GTN spray) cannot safely use Viagra due to dangerous drug interactions that may cause severe hypotension.

Viagra vs Sildenafil: Your Treatment Options

EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra and generic Sildenafil, allowing you to choose your preferred option at checkout. Both medications contain the identical active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) and work in exactly the same way. The main difference lies in cost - generic Sildenafil typically offers significant savings whilst providing equivalent effectiveness. Our prescribers may recommend starting with 50mg, which can be adjusted based on your response and tolerability.

What to Expect During Assessment

Our online consultation covers several key areas to ensure your safety. You'll be asked about existing medical conditions, particularly heart disease, liver problems, or blood disorders. Current medications must be disclosed, especially blood pressure treatments, alpha-blockers, or antifungal medications that may interact with Viagra. The assessment also considers any previous experiences with ED treatments and evaluates whether Viagra represents the most suitable option for your circumstances.

Prescription Approval and Delivery

Once our prescriber approves your consultation, you can complete your order and select either branded Viagra or generic Sildenafil. Orders placed before 3pm Monday-Friday qualify for free next-day delivery in discreet packaging. Our pharmacy team dispenses all medications according to strict UK regulations, ensuring you receive genuine, licensed treatments. Follow-up consultations are available if you need to adjust your dosage or discuss any concerns about your treatment.

Safety Considerations and Contraindications

Viagra isn't suitable for everyone, which is why proper medical assessment remains essential. Men with severe heart conditions, recent strokes, or very low blood pressure typically cannot use this medication safely. Our prescribers will also consider your age and overall health status when determining appropriate treatment. If Viagra isn't suitable, alternative ED treatments may be recommended during your consultation.

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.
