Complete Treatment Options and Requirements
Over-the-Counter vs Prescription Options
Viagra Connect contains 50mg sildenafil and represents the only over-the-counter option available in UK pharmacies. However, this single strength may not suit all patients. Prescription treatments offer greater flexibility with 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg options. EverydayMeds provides both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil through online consultation, allowing patients to choose between premium branded medication or cost-effective generic alternatives.
Eligibility Requirements Checklist
Before accessing any sildenafil treatment, you must be an adult male experiencing erectile dysfunction. Over-the-counter purchases require pharmacy consultation, whilst prescription treatments need clinical assessment by UK-licensed prescribers. Key contraindications include taking nitrate medications, severe cardiovascular conditions, recent heart attack or stroke, and severe liver problems. Your medical history and current medications will be reviewed to ensure treatment safety.
Accessing Treatment Through Licensed Pharmacies
Licensed online pharmacies like EverydayMeds streamline the consultation process whilst maintaining clinical safety standards. Following successful assessment, patients can choose between branded Viagra or generic sildenafil based on personal preference and budget considerations. Both options contain identical active ingredients and demonstrate equivalent effectiveness. The consultation process evaluates your suitability and determines the most appropriate starting dose, typically 50mg taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity.
Safety Considerations and Next Steps
Never exceed one dose per 24-hour period, and avoid combining with nitrate medications due to dangerous blood pressure interactions. Fatty meals may delay onset of action, and alcohol should be limited as it can reduce effectiveness. If you experience side effects or the treatment proves ineffective, consult your healthcare provider about dose adjustments or alternative approaches to managing erectile dysfunction.
