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.

What is Viagra and How Does it Work?

Viagra is the brand name for sildenafil citrate, originally developed by Pfizer as a prescription treatment for erectile dysfunction. When you're wondering "what is Viagra", it's important to understand that it belongs to a class of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. These medications work by blocking the phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme, which increases blood flow to the penis when you're sexually aroused. Viagra doesn't cause automatic erections - sexual stimulation is still required for the medication to be effective.

The effects of Viagra typically begin within 30-60 minutes of taking a tablet and can last for 4-6 hours. This doesn't mean you'll have an erection for this entire period, but rather that the medication remains active in your system, allowing you to achieve erections when sexually aroused during this timeframe.

Benefits of Starting with a Viagra Starter Pack

A starter pack approach to Viagra treatment offers several advantages for men new to erectile dysfunction medication. Rather than committing to a large quantity of tablets, starter packs allow you to trial the treatment and determine the most effective dosage for your individual needs. EverydayMeds' starter packs typically include a selection of tablets that may help you and your prescriber identify whether 25mg, 50mg, or 100mg is the optimal strength.

Starting with a smaller quantity also means you can assess how well you tolerate the medication and whether you experience any side effects. Common side effects of Viagra can include headaches, facial flushing, indigestion, and nasal congestion. Most men find these effects are mild and temporary, often reducing with continued use.

Online Consultation Process at EverydayMeds

Accessing your Viagra starter pack through EverydayMeds begins with our comprehensive online consultation. This clinical assessment is conducted by UK-licensed prescribers who are registered with the General Medical Council (GMC). The consultation evaluates your medical history, current medications, and overall cardiovascular health to ensure Viagra is suitable and safe for you.

During the consultation, you'll be asked about any heart conditions, blood pressure medications, and specifically whether you take nitrate medications such as GTN spray. This is crucial because combining Viagra with nitrates can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. You'll also be asked about liver function, recent strokes or heart attacks, and any medications that might interact with sildenafil.

Choosing Between Branded Viagra and Generic Sildenafil

One of the key decisions when ordering your starter pack is whether to choose branded Viagra or generic sildenafil. Both options contain exactly the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate - and have identical effectiveness and safety profiles. The main difference is cost, with generic sildenafil typically being significantly less expensive than the branded Viagra tablets.

At EverydayMeds, we offer both options at checkout, allowing you to make the choice that best suits your budget and preferences. Some men prefer the branded Viagra for peace of mind, whilst others opt for the generic version to make their treatment more cost-effective. Both are manufactured to the same stringent quality standards and are regulated by the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency).

Dosage Options in Your Starter Pack

Viagra starter packs typically include different dosage strengths to help determine your optimal treatment level. The three available strengths are 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. Most men start with the 50mg dose, which can then be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerability. If you experience side effects with 50mg, your prescriber might recommend reducing to 25mg. Alternatively, if 50mg proves insufficient, the dose may be increased to 100mg.

It's essential to never take more than one Viagra tablet in any 24-hour period, regardless of the strength. Taking Viagra approximately 30-60 minutes before sexual activity typically provides optimal results, though the medication can work for up to 6 hours after taking it.

Discreet Delivery and Packaging

EverydayMeds understands that discretion is important when ordering erectile dysfunction treatment. Your Viagra starter pack will arrive in plain, unmarked packaging with no indication of the contents. We offer next-day delivery across the UK, and you can track your order through our secure system. All medications are dispatched from our GPhC-registered pharmacy, ensuring you receive genuine, quality-assured treatments.

Your starter pack will include clear instructions for use, information about potential side effects, and guidance on when to seek medical advice. We also provide 24/7 customer support if you have any questions about your treatment or need assistance with reordering.

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.
