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.

Getting Viagra: Your Options in the UK

Over-the-Counter Viagra Connect

Viagra Connect contains 50mg of sildenafil and can be purchased directly from UK pharmacies without a prescription. The pharmacist will ask some health questions to ensure it's suitable for you. This option works well for men who need the standard 50mg dose and have no significant health conditions or medication interactions.

Prescription Viagra: More Dosage Options

Prescription Viagra offers three strengths: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg. This allows for personalised dosing based on your individual needs and response. A clinical consultation with a healthcare professional determines the most appropriate strength for you. Many men find the flexibility of different dosages helpful for managing both effectiveness and any potential side effects.

Online Pharmacy Services

EverydayMeds provides a convenient online consultation service with UK-licensed prescribers. After completing a clinical assessment, you can choose between branded Viagra or generic sildenafil. Both contain the same active ingredient and work identically, though sildenafil typically costs significantly less whilst providing the same therapeutic benefits.

Clinical Assessment Process

Whether purchasing over-the-counter or through prescription, a health assessment is required. This evaluates your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history. Sildenafil can interact dangerously with nitrate medications and isn't suitable for men with certain heart conditions or those taking specific medications.

Cost Considerations

Viagra Connect costs around £20-30 for four tablets from high street pharmacies. Prescription options through online services may offer better value, particularly when choosing generic sildenafil. EverydayMeds allows you to compare costs between branded and generic options at checkout, helping you make an informed choice based on your budget and preferences.

What to Expect

Sildenafil typically works within 30-60 minutes of taking and effects can last 4-6 hours. It requires sexual stimulation to work and doesn't cause automatic erections. Taking with fatty foods may delay the onset. The maximum recommended frequency is once per 24-hour period.

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.
