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.

Understanding Sildenafil Treatment Options

How Sildenafil Delivers Results

Sildenafil works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which increases blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. This mechanism, detailed in the BNF, has been extensively studied since the medication's approval. The treatment doesn't cause automatic erections but enhances the body's natural response to sexual stimulation. Most men experience effects within 30-60 minutes, with results potentially lasting 4-6 hours.

Generic vs Branded Options

Both sildenafil and Viagra contain identical active ingredients and undergo the same rigorous testing standards. The primary difference lies in cost, with generic sildenafil typically offering significant savings. At EverydayMeds, patients can choose between branded Viagra and generic sildenafil during checkout, allowing flexibility based on personal preference and budget considerations.

Dosage and Effectiveness

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 increased to 100mg. Clinical trials show that around 70-85% of men experience improved erections with appropriate dosing. Only one dose should be taken within a 24-hour period.

Safety Considerations

Sildenafil requires careful medical assessment before prescription. It's contraindicated with nitrate medications, certain heart conditions, and severe liver problems. Common side effects may include headaches, flushing, or mild digestive upset. The BNF provides comprehensive guidance on interactions and contraindications that healthcare providers follow during assessment.

Getting Started with Treatment

EverydayMeds requires completion of a thorough medical questionnaire reviewed by UK-licensed prescribers. This ensures sildenafil is suitable and safe for individual circumstances. The consultation process considers current medications, medical history, and cardiovascular health. Once approved, patients can select their preferred option - either branded Viagra or generic sildenafil.

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.
