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 Options for Purchasing Viagra Safely

Licensed Online Pharmacies

Online pharmacies registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) offer the most convenient way to access Viagra. EverydayMeds provides both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil following a clinical assessment with a UK-licensed prescriber. You can choose between the branded version or the more affordable generic alternative - both contain the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) and work identically.

High Street Pharmacy Options

Many high street pharmacies now stock Viagra Connect, the 50mg over-the-counter version. online pharmacy, online pharmacy, and independent pharmacies typically offer this service. The pharmacist will conduct a brief consultation to ensure suitability. However, if you need 25mg or 100mg doses, you'll require a prescription from a licensed prescriber.

GP Surgery Prescriptions

Your NHS GP can prescribe Viagra following an assessment, though availability on the NHS may be limited to specific circumstances. Private prescriptions are more readily available. Your GP will evaluate your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health before prescribing.

What to Avoid

Never purchase from unlicensed websites or unregulated sources. Counterfeit medications may contain dangerous ingredients or incorrect dosages. Always verify the pharmacy is GPhC-registered and requires a proper medical consultation.

Choosing Between Branded and Generic

EverydayMeds offers both options at checkout. Viagra (Pfizer's branded version) and sildenafil (generic) contain identical active ingredients and work the same way. The generic version typically costs significantly less whilst providing equivalent effectiveness. The choice often comes down to personal preference and budget considerations.

The Consultation Process

Legitimate sources require a medical questionnaire covering your health history, current medications, and cardiovascular status. This ensures the medication is safe and appropriate. The assessment typically takes a few minutes online or during a pharmacy 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.
