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.

Online Consultation Process for Viagra Prescription

How to Access Viagra Through EverydayMeds

Obtaining Viagra legally in the UK requires a prescription from a qualified healthcare professional. EverydayMeds streamlines this process through our regulated online consultation service. Our UK General Medical Council registered clinicians conduct thorough assessments to ensure Viagra is appropriate and safe for your individual circumstances.

Prescription Requirements and Eligibility

To receive a Viagra prescription, you must be an adult male experiencing erectile dysfunction. Our clinical assessment evaluates several factors including your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history. This is essential because Viagra can interact with certain medications, particularly nitrates used for heart conditions, which could cause dangerous drops in blood pressure.

During the consultation, our clinicians will ask about any heart problems, blood pressure issues, liver or kidney conditions, and medications you're currently taking. This information helps determine whether Viagra is suitable and what dosage might be most appropriate for you.

Branded Viagra vs Generic Sildenafil Options

EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra manufactured by Pfizer and generic sildenafil at checkout. Both contain the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate - and work identically. The main difference is cost, with generic sildenafil typically being more affordable while providing the same therapeutic benefits.

Most patients find the 50mg starting dose effective, though this can be adjusted to 25mg or 100mg based on how well you respond to treatment and any side effects experienced. Our clinicians will recommend the most suitable starting dose during your consultation.

Understanding How Long Viagra Takes to Work

Viagra typically begins working within 30-60 minutes of taking the tablet. However, this timing can vary based on individual factors such as age, overall health, and whether you've eaten recently. Taking Viagra on an empty stomach generally leads to faster absorption, while fatty meals may delay the onset of effects.

The medication can remain effective for 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean you'll have an erection for this entire period. Sexual stimulation is still required for Viagra to work, as it enhances the body's natural response rather than causing automatic erections.

Starting Your Online Consultation

Begin your consultation by selecting either Viagra or sildenafil from our treatment options. You'll complete a detailed medical questionnaire that typically takes 5-10 minutes. Our clinicians review your answers and may request additional information if needed. Once approved, you can choose between branded and generic options during checkout.

Prescriptions are usually approved within 24 hours on weekdays. Your medication is then dispensed by our UK-registered pharmacy and delivered in discreet packaging. We offer next-day delivery across the UK, ensuring you receive your treatment quickly and confidentially.

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.
