Essential Information About Viagra Treatment
How Viagra Pills Work
Viagra contains the active ingredient sildenafil citrate, which belongs to a class of medications called PDE5 inhibitors. These medications work by blocking the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5, which increases blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. It's important to understand that Viagra does not cause automatic erections - sexual stimulation is still required for the medication to be effective.
Dosages and Administration
Viagra pills are available in three strengths: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. Most patients begin with the 50mg dose, which can be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerability. The medication should be taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity, with effects lasting 4-6 hours. Only one dose should be taken within a 24-hour period, and fatty meals may delay the onset of action.
Branded vs Generic Options
At EverydayMeds, patients can choose between branded Viagra (manufactured by Pfizer) and generic sildenafil at checkout. Both contain the same active ingredient and are equally effective - the main difference is cost, with generic sildenafil typically being more affordable. All our medications are sourced from licensed UK suppliers and require the same clinical assessment process.
Safety and Eligibility
Viagra treatment requires a prescription following consultation with a UK-licensed prescriber. Our clinical assessment evaluates your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health to ensure safe treatment. The medication is not suitable for everyone, particularly those taking nitrate medications (such as GTN spray), those with severe heart conditions, or recent stroke/heart attack patients.
