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.

Available Viagra Dosage Strengths in the UK

Understanding Viagra Dosage Options

Viagra is available in three strengths across the UK: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. The 100mg dose represents the maximum recommended daily amount and is typically reserved for patients who have not achieved adequate results with lower strengths. Most men begin treatment with 50mg, which proves effective for many patients whilst minimising potential side effects.

When 100mg Might Be Prescribed

Healthcare providers may recommend viagra 100mg for patients who have tried 50mg for at least four separate occasions without sufficient improvement in erectile function. The decision to increase dosage must always be made by a qualified prescriber following assessment of your response to treatment and overall health status. Factors influencing dosage selection include age, underlying health conditions, and concurrent medications.

Proper Administration of 100mg Viagra

Take viagra 100mg approximately one hour before sexual activity, allowing up to 30-60 minutes for the medication to take effect. Swallow the tablet whole with water, avoiding alcohol or heavy meals which may delay effectiveness. The medication's effects can last up to four hours, though this does not mean an erection will persist throughout this period - sexual stimulation remains necessary for the medication to work.

Branded Viagra vs Generic Sildenafil

At EverydayMeds, patients can choose between branded Viagra and generic sildenafil at checkout. Both contain identical active ingredients and offer the same therapeutic benefits, with generic sildenafil providing a more cost-effective option. The choice between branded and generic formulations is entirely personal preference, as both undergo the same rigorous quality standards and regulatory approval processes.

Safety Considerations for Higher Dosages

The 100mg strength may increase the likelihood of experiencing side effects such as headaches, facial flushing, or nasal congestion. Patients should never exceed 100mg within 24 hours or combine viagra with nitrate medications, which can cause dangerous blood pressure drops. If you experience chest pain, dizziness, or prolonged erections lasting over four hours, seek immediate medical attention.

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.
