Understanding Your Viagra Options in the UK
Over-the-Counter vs Prescription Viagra
In the UK, you have two main options for accessing sildenafil-based ED treatment. Viagra Connect (50mg) can be purchased over-the-counter from pharmacies following a brief consultation with the pharmacist. However, prescription Viagra offers more dosage flexibility with 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg options available through licensed prescribers.
EverydayMeds: Branded and Generic Options
At EverydayMeds, patients can choose between branded Viagra and generic sildenafil during checkout. Both contain the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) and work identically, but generic sildenafil typically costs significantly less whilst maintaining the same clinical effectiveness. Our UK-licensed prescribers assess your suitability through a comprehensive online consultation.
How Sildenafil Works for ED
Sildenafil belongs to a class of medications called PDE5 inhibitors. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis when you're sexually aroused, helping achieve and maintain an erection. The medication typically takes effect within 30-60 minutes and can remain effective for 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean an erection lasts this duration.
Who Can Take Viagra or Sildenafil
These treatments are suitable for adult men experiencing erectile dysfunction. However, they're not appropriate for everyone. You cannot take sildenafil if you're using nitrate medications (such as GTN spray), have severe heart conditions, recent stroke or heart attack, severe liver problems, or very low blood pressure. Our clinical assessment evaluates your medical history and current medications to ensure safe treatment.
