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.

Emergency Situations Requiring Immediate Medical Care

When to Call 999 or Visit A&E Immediately

Certain situations involving ED medications like Viagra or sildenafil require emergency medical attention. A prolonged erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism) is a medical emergency that can cause permanent damage if untreated. Contact emergency services immediately if you experience chest pain, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing during sexual activity whilst taking ED medication.

Urgent GP Consultation Required

Some symptoms need prompt medical review within 24-48 hours. Sudden loss of vision or hearing, severe headaches, or persistent nausea after taking sildenafil warrants urgent GP consultation. If you experience an allergic reaction with rash, swelling, or breathing difficulties, seek immediate medical help. These symptoms may indicate serious complications requiring professional assessment.

Routine Medical Review Situations

Schedule a routine appointment with your GP if you experience persistent mild side effects, reduced effectiveness of your current dosage, or changes in your overall health status. Men with heart conditions, diabetes, or taking multiple medications should have regular reviews when using ED treatments. Your doctor may need to adjust dosage or consider alternative treatments based on your response.

Medication Interactions to Discuss

Never combine Viagra or sildenafil with nitrate medications (GTN spray, isosorbide) as this can cause dangerous drops in blood pressure requiring emergency treatment. Always inform healthcare providers about your ED medication when prescribed new treatments. Alpha-blockers, some antibiotics, and heart medications may interact with sildenafil, requiring medical supervision.

EverydayMeds Safety Support

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.
