Your Complete Viagra Purchase Checklist
Legal Requirements for Buying Viagra
Viagra is a prescription-only medicine (POM) in the UK, meaning you cannot legally purchase it without proper medical oversight. The MHRA strictly regulates erectile dysfunction treatments to protect patient safety. Any legitimate pharmacy must be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and follow strict dispensing protocols.
EverydayMeds operates under full UK pharmaceutical regulations, ensuring every Viagra purchase meets legal requirements. Our clinical team includes UK-licensed prescribers who assess each patient's suitability before approving treatment.
Clinical Assessment Process
Before purchasing Viagra, you must complete a comprehensive health questionnaire. This assessment evaluates your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history. The process typically takes 5-10 minutes and covers essential safety factors.
Key assessment areas include blood pressure status, heart conditions, liver function, and potential drug interactions. Particular attention is given to nitrate medications, as combining these with sildenafil can cause dangerous blood pressure drops.
Branded Viagra vs Generic Sildenafil
EverydayMeds offers both options at checkout, allowing patients to choose based on preference and budget. Branded Viagra contains the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) as the generic version, with identical effectiveness and safety profiles.
Generic sildenafil typically costs significantly less whilst providing the same therapeutic benefits. Both formulations are available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths, with 50mg being the standard starting dose for most patients.
Dosage and Safety Considerations
Sildenafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis when sexually aroused. The medication typically becomes effective within 30-60 minutes and effects may last 4-6 hours. Important safety guidelines include taking only one dose per 24-hour period and avoiding fatty meals which can delay onset.
Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, and nasal congestion. More serious adverse reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention. These include prolonged erections lasting over 4 hours or sudden vision/hearing changes.
