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 and Options

Standard Viagra Dosage Strengths

Viagra is available in three standardised strengths: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. The 50mg strength typically serves as the starting dose for most men, with adjustments made based on effectiveness and tolerability. EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil in these strengths, allowing patients to choose between options during checkout.

Gel Formulation Considerations

Whilst Viagra gel has been investigated as an alternative delivery method, traditional tablet formulations remain the standard prescription option in the UK. Gel formulations may potentially offer faster absorption, though tablet forms continue to demonstrate proven efficacy and safety profiles. Any gel formulation would contain the same active ingredient, sildenafil citrate, as traditional tablets.

Dosage Selection Guidelines

Healthcare providers typically recommend starting with 50mg taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. This dose may be increased to 100mg if the initial strength proves insufficient, or reduced to 25mg if side effects occur. Factors influencing dosage selection include age, existing medical conditions, and concurrent medications. Maximum frequency remains one dose per 24-hour period regardless of strength chosen.

Branded vs Generic Options

EverydayMeds provides both Viagra (branded by Pfizer) and generic sildenafil options. Both contain identical active ingredients and demonstrate equivalent therapeutic effects. Generic sildenafil typically offers cost savings whilst maintaining the same safety and efficacy standards. Patients can select their preferred option during the online consultation and checkout process.

Clinical Assessment Requirements

All sildenafil prescriptions require clinical assessment by UK-registered prescribers. This evaluation considers cardiovascular health, medication interactions, and overall suitability. EverydayMeds' online consultation process ensures appropriate prescribing whilst maintaining convenience and discretion for patients seeking erectile dysfunction treatment.

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.
