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.

Your Complete Guide to Purchasing Viagra Safely

Legal Requirements for Buying Viagra in the UK

Viagra and sildenafil are prescription-only medicines requiring consultation with a UK-licensed healthcare professional. Legitimate online pharmacies like EverydayMeds must verify your medical suitability through a comprehensive clinical assessment before dispensing these medications. The consultation evaluates your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history to ensure safe treatment.

Choosing Between Viagra and Sildenafil

Both options contain the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate - and work identically for treating erectile dysfunction. Viagra is the branded version manufactured by Pfizer, whilst sildenafil represents the generic alternative at a lower cost. EverydayMeds offers both choices, allowing patients to select their preferred option during checkout based on personal preference and budget considerations.

Safety Verification Checklist

Before purchasing, confirm the pharmacy displays GPhC registration numbers and operates under UK pharmaceutical regulations. Legitimate providers require detailed medical questionnaires and may request additional information from your GP when necessary. Avoid sources offering these medications without proper consultation, as this indicates illegal operation and potentially dangerous counterfeit products.

Dosage and Treatment Options

Sildenafil is typically available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths, with 50mg being the standard starting dose for most men. The medication should be taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity and works for approximately 4-6 hours. Your prescriber will determine the most appropriate dosage based on your individual medical assessment and response to treatment.

Contraindications and Safety Considerations

Certain medical conditions and medications make sildenafil unsuitable. Men taking nitrate medications for heart conditions cannot safely use these treatments due to dangerous blood pressure interactions. Recent heart attacks, strokes, severe liver problems, or very low blood pressure may also contraindicate use. Always disclose your complete medical history during consultation.

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.
