Medical Assessment and Prescription Requirements
Clinical Eligibility Assessment
Before prescribing Viagra tablets, healthcare providers must conduct a thorough clinical assessment. This evaluation examines your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history to ensure safe treatment. Men aged 18 and above with erectile dysfunction may be suitable candidates, provided they meet specific medical criteria and have no contraindications.
Cardiovascular Health Requirements
Viagra affects blood pressure and circulation, making cardiovascular assessment crucial. Men with stable heart conditions may be eligible, but those with severe heart disease, recent heart attack or stroke (within six months), or very low blood pressure typically cannot take Viagra safely. Your prescriber will evaluate whether your heart can handle the cardiovascular effects of sexual activity combined with the medication.
Medication Interactions and Contraindications
Certain medications make Viagra unsafe or ineffective. Men taking nitrates (such as GTN spray or isosorbide tablets) for heart conditions cannot use Viagra due to dangerous blood pressure drops. Similarly, those taking riociguat for pulmonary hypertension must avoid sildenafil. Alpha-blockers, some antibiotics, and HIV medications may require dose adjustments or alternative treatments.
Age and Dosage Considerations
Viagra is only prescribed to adult men - it's not suitable for women or those under 18. Starting doses typically begin at 50mg, taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Depending on effectiveness and tolerability, doses may be adjusted to 25mg or increased to 100mg. Only one tablet should be taken within any 24-hour period, and the medication doesn't work without sexual arousal.
Medical Conditions That May Affect Eligibility
Several health conditions require careful consideration before prescribing Viagra. Men with severe liver impairment may need dose adjustments or alternative treatments. Those with hereditary degenerative retinal disorders, bleeding disorders, or stomach ulcers require specialist assessment. Kidney disease may also affect dosing recommendations, and your prescriber will adjust treatment accordingly.
Branded Viagra vs Generic Sildenafil
EverydayMeds offers both branded Viagra tablets and generic sildenafil - both contain the same active ingredient and work identically. The choice often comes down to personal preference and cost considerations, as generic sildenafil typically offers significant savings while maintaining the same effectiveness and safety profile as branded Viagra.
Online Consultation Process
Through EverydayMeds' online consultation service, UK-licensed prescribers assess your eligibility through detailed medical questionnaires. This process evaluates your symptoms, medical history, current medications, and lifestyle factors. If approved, you can choose between branded Viagra or generic sildenafil options, with discreet delivery to your preferred address.
Ongoing Monitoring and Safety
Regular review ensures continued suitability for Viagra treatment. Report any new medications, health changes, or concerning side effects to your healthcare provider. Most men tolerate Viagra well, but monitoring helps maintain safe, effective treatment while adjusting doses or exploring alternatives if needed.
