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.

How to Access Viagra Treatment Through EverydayMeds

What Viagra Will Do: How the Treatment Works

Viagra contains sildenafil citrate, a PDE5 inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis when you're sexually aroused. The medication typically begins working within 30-60 minutes and effects may last 4-6 hours. It's important to understand that Viagra doesn't cause automatic erections - sexual stimulation is still required for the medication to work effectively.

Getting Started: Online Consultation Process

Accessing Viagra through EverydayMeds is straightforward. Complete our secure online consultation form, which takes just a few minutes. Our UK-licensed prescribers will review your medical history, current medications, and assess your suitability for treatment. This clinical assessment ensures the medication is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances.

During checkout, you can choose between branded Viagra or generic sildenafil - both contain the same active ingredient but sildenafil offers significant cost savings. Many patients prefer the generic option as it delivers identical results at a fraction of the price.

What to Expect: Dosages and Effectiveness

Viagra is available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. Most men start with 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your prescriber may adjust this to 25mg or 100mg based on how well the treatment works and any side effects experienced. Remember to take only one dose within 24 hours.

The medication works best on an empty stomach, as fatty meals can delay onset. Common side effects may include headache, flushing, or mild stomach upset, which typically resolve quickly.

Who Can Access Viagra Treatment

Viagra is suitable for adult men experiencing erectile dysfunction. However, it's not appropriate for everyone. Men taking nitrate medications for heart conditions, those with severe cardiovascular disease, or recent stroke or heart attack history may not be suitable candidates. Our clinical assessment identifies any contraindications before prescribing.

Ordering Your Treatment

Once approved, your medication ships discreetly with next-day delivery options available. All packaging is unmarked for complete privacy. You can reorder easily through your secure patient account, and our prescribers can adjust your dosage if needed based on your experience with the treatment.

EverydayMeds stocks both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil, ensuring you have choice and flexibility. Generic sildenafil provides the same clinical benefits as branded Viagra but at significantly reduced cost, making treatment more accessible long-term.

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.
