Getting Your Viagra Prescription Online with EverydayMeds

How Quickly Does Viagra Work?

Viagra typically begins working within 30-60 minutes of taking the tablet, though this can vary between individuals. The medication reaches peak effectiveness around 1-2 hours after taking it. It's important to note that sexual stimulation is still required for Viagra to work - it won't cause an automatic erection. The effects may last up to 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean an erection will last this entire time.

UK Prescription Requirements for Viagra

Viagra is a prescription-only medicine (POM) in the UK, which means you'll need a valid prescription from a qualified healthcare professional. At EverydayMeds, our online consultation process allows UK-licensed prescribers to assess whether Viagra or generic sildenafil is suitable for you. This clinical assessment evaluates your medical history, current medications, and overall health to ensure safe treatment.

Our Online Consultation Process

Getting your Viagra prescription through EverydayMeds is straightforward and confidential. You'll complete a detailed medical questionnaire that covers your symptoms, medical history, and any current medications. Our UK-licensed prescribers review your information and may prescribe Viagra or recommend generic sildenafil if clinically appropriate. The entire process can be completed from the comfort of your home, with no need for face-to-face appointments.

Viagra vs Generic Sildenafil - Your Choice

EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs and budget. Both contain the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) and work in exactly the same way. Generic sildenafil offers the same effectiveness as branded Viagra but at a lower cost. Our prescribers can help you decide which option may be most appropriate during your consultation.

Who Can Take Viagra?

Viagra may be suitable for adult men experiencing erectile dysfunction, but it's not appropriate for everyone. Our prescribers will assess whether you're eligible based on factors including your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history. Viagra is not suitable for men taking nitrate medications, those with severe heart conditions, or individuals with certain other health conditions. The online consultation ensures you receive appropriate treatment safely.

Starting Your Treatment

If prescribed, you can typically start with a 50mg dose, taken approximately 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Your prescriber may recommend adjusting the dose to 25mg or 100mg based on how well the medication works for you and any side effects experienced. Only one tablet should be taken within any 24-hour period. Taking Viagra with a heavy or fatty meal may delay its onset of action.
