Cost Comparison & Treatment Options Available
Viagra Tablet Pricing Structure
Viagra tablet costs vary significantly between branded and generic options. EverydayMeds provides transparent pricing for both Viagra (Pfizer's branded version) and Sildenafil (generic equivalent) during checkout. The active ingredient sildenafil citrate remains identical in both formulations, with generic versions typically offering substantial cost savings. NHS guidelines acknowledge that generic medications provide equivalent therapeutic benefits at reduced costs.
Available Dosage Strengths
Both Viagra and Sildenafil are available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. NHS guidance recommends starting with 50mg approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your prescriber may adjust the dose to 25mg if side effects occur, or increase to 100mg if the initial dose proves insufficient. The maximum frequency remains one tablet per 24-hour period regardless of strength chosen.
Clinical Assessment Requirements
NHS guidelines mandate clinical assessment before prescribing sildenafil for erectile dysfunction. EverydayMeds' UK-licensed prescribers evaluate your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history during consultation. This assessment ensures treatment safety and identifies potential contraindications such as nitrate medications or severe heart conditions.
Choosing Between Branded and Generic Options
Patients can select between Viagra and Sildenafil based on personal preference and budget considerations. Both formulations contain identical active ingredients and undergo rigorous quality testing. Generic Sildenafil offers equivalent efficacy at lower cost, while some patients prefer branded Viagra for familiarity reasons. Our clinical team can discuss both options during your consultation.
Treatment Duration and Effectiveness
Sildenafil typically begins working within 30-60 minutes and effects may last 4-6 hours. NHS guidance emphasises that sexual stimulation remains necessary for effectiveness, as the medication enhances natural physiological responses rather than causing automatic erections. Taking tablets on an empty stomach may improve onset time compared to consumption with fatty meals.
