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.

Understanding Over-the-Counter vs Prescription Options

Over-the-Counter Viagra Connect

Viagra Connect contains 50mg sildenafil and represents the only over-the-counter option available in UK pharmacies. The pharmacist conducts a brief consultation to ensure suitability, checking for contraindications and drug interactions. This option may suit men with mild to moderate ED who don't require dosage adjustments.

Prescription Viagra and Sildenafil Options

Prescription treatments offer greater flexibility with 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg dosage options. EverydayMeds provides both branded Viagra and generic Sildenafil - patients can choose their preferred option during checkout. The active ingredient remains identical, though many find the generic alternative offers excellent value whilst maintaining effectiveness.

Online Consultation Process

Our UK-licensed prescribers conduct thorough clinical assessments covering medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health. This comprehensive approach ensures appropriate dosage recommendations and identifies any contraindications, particularly dangerous interactions with nitrate medications commonly used for heart conditions.

Supporting Your Partner Through Treatment

Partners play crucial roles in ED treatment success. Creating supportive environments without pressure helps reduce performance anxiety. Understanding that sildenafil requires sexual stimulation to work effectively manages expectations appropriately. The medication facilitates improved blood flow but doesn't create automatic erections.

Safety Considerations

Both over-the-counter and prescription options require careful consideration of contraindications. Men taking nitrates for heart conditions, those with severe cardiovascular disease, or recent stroke/heart attack history need specialist medical advice. Our consultation process identifies these safety concerns before prescribing.

Discreet Ordering and Support

EverydayMeds understands the sensitive nature of ED treatment. Our discreet packaging and next-day delivery options provide convenient access to treatments. Customer support remains available throughout the treatment journey, addressing concerns and providing guidance when needed.

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.
