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.

Is Viagra Right for Your Situation?

Clinical Suitability Assessment

Viagra tends to work excellently for most men with erectile dysfunction, but determining suitability requires careful clinical evaluation. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess each patient's cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history during the consultation process. Men over 18 experiencing erectile dysfunction may be good candidates, provided they don't have contraindications such as taking nitrates, severe heart conditions, or recent cardiovascular events within the past six months.

Understanding Viagra Tablet Costs

When considering viagra tablet cost, patients should weigh the benefits of the branded option against more affordable alternatives. Viagra, manufactured by Pfizer, represents the original sildenafil formulation with decades of clinical use. However, generic sildenafil contains the identical active ingredient at a lower cost point. At EverydayMeds, we present both options during checkout, allowing patients to make informed decisions based on their preferences and budget considerations after completing the clinical assessment.

Ideal Patient Profile

The most suitable candidates for Viagra treatment typically include men who can take PDE5 inhibitors safely and are seeking reliable erectile dysfunction treatment. This includes patients not taking contraindicated medications like nitrates or riociguat, those without severe liver impairment or very low blood pressure, and men who understand that sexual stimulation is still required for the medication to work effectively. The treatment works within 30-60 minutes and effects may last 4-6 hours.

Comparing Your Options

Both Viagra and generic sildenafil offer identical therapeutic effects, as they contain the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate. The choice often comes down to personal preference and cost considerations. Some patients prefer the original branded version for peace of mind, while others opt for generic sildenafil to reduce ongoing treatment costs. Available strengths include 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets, with 50mg typically serving as the starting dose that can be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerability.

Making an Informed Decision

The best candidates for Viagra treatment are those who complete a thorough clinical assessment and understand both the benefits and responsibilities of treatment. This includes taking only one dose per 24-hour period, timing the medication 30-60 minutes before sexual activity, and being aware that fatty meals may delay onset. Patients should also understand potential side effects and know when to seek medical advice. Our clinical team ensures each patient receives comprehensive information about both branded and generic options.

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.
