How Viagra Works: The Science Behind ED Treatment
Understanding How Viagra Enhances Blood Flow
Viagra contains sildenafil citrate, which belongs to a class of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. When you become sexually aroused, your body naturally releases nitric oxide, which helps relax blood vessels in the penis. Viagra works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme that normally breaks down the chemicals responsible for maintaining blood flow. This enhanced circulation helps achieve and maintain an erection when you're sexually stimulated.
Starting Your Online Assessment Process
Beginning treatment with EverydayMeds is straightforward and completely confidential. Our online assessment takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and covers your medical history, current medications, and lifestyle factors. This information helps our UK-licensed prescribers determine whether Viagra or generic sildenafil is appropriate for your individual circumstances. You'll receive a decision within hours, not days.
Choosing Between Branded Viagra and Generic Sildenafil
During checkout, you can select between branded Viagra manufactured by Pfizer or generic sildenafil tablets. Both contain identical active ingredients and work in exactly the same way. The main difference is cost - generic sildenafil typically offers significant savings whilst maintaining the same effectiveness and safety profile. Many patients choose the generic option without any difference in treatment outcomes.
Dosage Options and Treatment Timing
Viagra and sildenafil are available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. Most men start with 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. The effects can last up to six hours, though this doesn't mean you'll have an erection for this entire period - sexual stimulation is still required. Our prescribers will recommend the most appropriate starting dose based on your assessment responses.
What Happens After Approval
Once approved, your medication is dispensed by our registered UK pharmacy and dispatched in plain, unmarked packaging. We offer next-day delivery options, and you can set up repeat prescriptions for ongoing treatment. Our customer service team remains available for any questions about your treatment or to arrange follow-up consultations if needed.
Safety Considerations and Medical Review
Our prescribers carefully review each application to ensure Viagra is safe for you. This includes checking for heart conditions, blood pressure medications, and other factors that might affect treatment suitability. We cannot prescribe to men taking nitrate medications or those with certain cardiovascular conditions. This thorough review process protects your health whilst ensuring you receive effective treatment.
