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.

How to Order Viagra Online Safely

EverydayMeds offers both Viagra (branded Pfizer) and Sildenafil (generic alternative) through our secure online consultation process. Complete a clinical assessment with our UK-licensed prescribers who evaluate your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health. Once approved, choose between branded Viagra or the more affordable Sildenafil option at checkout - both contain the same active ingredient and work identically.

Dosage Problems and Solutions

Starting dose is typically 50mg taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. If ineffective, your prescriber may increase to 100mg or reduce to 25mg if side effects occur. Take only once per 24 hours and avoid fatty meals which can delay absorption. If you miss the optimal timing window, the medication can still work within 4-6 hours but may be less effective.

When Viagra Isn't Working

Several factors can affect effectiveness: stress, alcohol consumption, underlying health conditions, or taking medication with food. Sexual stimulation is still required as Viagra doesn't cause automatic erections. If problems persist after 4-6 attempts, consult your prescriber about dosage adjustment or investigating underlying causes such as diabetes, cardiovascular issues, or psychological factors.

Managing Common Side Effects

Mild side effects like headaches, facial flushing, or nasal congestion usually improve as your body adjusts. Stay hydrated and consider paracetamol for headaches. Contact your prescriber if you experience chest pain, sudden vision changes, or erections lasting over 4 hours. These require immediate medical attention.

Contraindications and Safety Checks

Viagra cannot be taken with nitrate medications (GTN spray, isosorbide) due to dangerous blood pressure drops. Inform your prescriber about all medications, especially blood pressure treatments, antifungals, or HIV medications. Men with severe heart disease, recent stroke, or liver problems may not be suitable candidates.

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.
