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.

Understanding Your Viagra and Sildenafil Options

What is Viagra and How Does it Work?

Viagra contains sildenafil citrate as its active ingredient, belonging to a class of medications called PDE5 inhibitors. When taken approximately 30-60 minutes before sexual activity, it may help improve blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. It's important to understand that Viagra requires sexual stimulation to be effective and doesn't cause automatic erections. The effects can last 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean an erection will persist for this duration.

Branded Viagra vs Generic Sildenafil

At EverydayMeds, we understand that patients have different preferences and budgets. That's why we offer both branded Viagra tablets and generic sildenafil alternatives. Generic sildenafil contains the same active ingredient as branded Viagra but is typically available at a lower cost. Both options undergo the same rigorous manufacturing standards and clinical assessments. During checkout, eligible patients can choose between branded or generic versions based on their personal preference.

Available Dosage Options

Viagra tablets are available in three strengths: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg. Most patients start with the 50mg dose, which can be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerability. The 25mg strength may be more suitable for those who experience side effects or have certain medical conditions, whilst the 100mg dose might be considered if the lower doses prove insufficient. Our prescribers will recommend the most appropriate starting dose during your consultation, and you should never exceed one tablet in a 24-hour period.

Who Can Use Viagra Tablets?

Viagra tablets are prescription-only medicines suitable for adult men experiencing erectile dysfunction. Before prescribing, our UK-licensed prescribers conduct a thorough clinical assessment to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate. This evaluation considers your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health. Viagra isn't suitable for everyone, particularly those taking nitrate medications for chest pain, as this combination can cause dangerous drops in blood pressure.

Taking Viagra Safely and Effectively

For optimal results, take your prescribed dose 30-60 minutes before planned sexual activity. Fatty meals may delay the medication's onset, so consider taking it on an empty stomach or after a light meal. Common side effects may include headaches, facial flushing, or indigestion, which are typically mild and temporary. If you experience chest pain, dizziness, or prolonged erections lasting more than four hours, seek immediate medical attention.

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.
