Viagra Dosage, Safety & Getting Treatment
How Viagra Works
Viagra contains the active ingredient sildenafil citrate, which belongs to a class of medications called PDE5 inhibitors. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis when sexually aroused. Important to understand that Viagra does not cause automatic erections - sexual stimulation is still required for the medication to be effective.
Dosage Guidelines
Viagra is available in three strengths: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. The typical starting dose is 50mg, taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Based on effectiveness and how well you tolerate the medication, your prescriber may adjust this to 25mg or increase to 100mg. The maximum dose is one tablet per 24-hour period. Food, particularly fatty meals, can delay how quickly Viagra starts working.
Who Can Take Viagra
Viagra is suitable for adult men aged 18 and over who experience erectile dysfunction. To obtain a prescription, you must complete a clinical assessment with a UK-licensed prescriber who will evaluate your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health. This ensures the treatment is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Important Safety Information
Certain medical conditions and medications make Viagra unsuitable. You should not take Viagra if you use nitrate medications (such as GTN spray or isosorbide), have severe heart disease, recent heart attack or stroke within six months, severe liver problems, or very low blood pressure. Alpha-blockers, some antifungals, and HIV medications can interact with Viagra, so it's essential to declare all current medications during your consultation.
Branded vs Generic Options
EverydayMeds offers both Pfizer's branded Viagra and generic sildenafil. Both contain the same active ingredient and work identically - the generic version typically costs less whilst providing the same therapeutic effect. You can choose between branded or generic options at checkout following your approved consultation.
Getting Treatment
Our service begins with a confidential online consultation where you'll complete a medical questionnaire. A UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and, if suitable, approves your prescription. Treatment is then dispensed from our UK pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your address. Regular follow-ups ensure ongoing safety and effectiveness of your treatment.
