Viagra is the original branded version of sildenafil, licensed in the UK to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, and it only works when you are sexually aroused.
Viagra tablets in 25mg, 50mg and 100mg strengths are a prescription-only medicine. Your online consultation is reviewed by a UK-registered prescriber, who confirms whether Viagra is suitable for you and which strength to use. If it is, your medicine is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy (No. 9011198) and sent in plain, discreet packaging.
Generic sildenafil contains the same active ingredient as Viagra and is usually lower in price. Viagra Connect 50mg is a pharmacy-medicine version of Viagra that can be supplied after a pharmacist consultation without a prescription.
Most men start on 50mg, taken about 1 hour before sex. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours.
Do not take Viagra if you use any nitrate medicine for chest pain (such as a GTN spray or isosorbide), nicorandil or poppers – the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Erection problems can sometimes be an early sign of heart disease or diabetes, so the consultation also checks your general health. For how sildenafil works, side effects and who should not take it, read our Sildenafil Uses guide. Always read the patient information leaflet inside the pack.

All three contain the same active ingredient, sildenafil, and work in the same way. The differences are the brand, the strengths available, whether you need a prescription, and the price.
Viagra is the original branded sildenafil tablet, available in 25mg, 50mg and 100mg on prescription. At Access Doctor it costs from £28.99 for 4 x 25mg tablets.
Generic sildenafil contains the same medicine in the same strengths and is also prescription-only here. It is usually lower in price than branded Viagra.
Viagra Connect is branded 50mg sildenafil sold as a pharmacy medicine. It can be supplied after a pharmacist consultation without a prescription, but it only comes in 50mg.
Your prescriber will discuss which option is suitable for you. A medicine will only be prescribed if it is clinically appropriate.
Viagra 25mg starts at £28.99 for 4 tablets, and 50mg and 100mg start at £33.99 for 4 tablets. Packs of 8, 12, 16 and 32 tablets are also available. Every price includes your online consultation, review by a UK-registered prescriber and your prescription – there is no separate consultation fee. Delivery is free on orders over £40 and £3.49 below that.
work in the same way. Viagra is the original brand, available on prescription in 25mg, 50mg and 100mg. Generic sildenafil contains the same active ingredient in the same strengths and is usually lower in price. Viagra Connect is branded 50mg sildenafil that is a pharmacy medicine, so it can be supplied after a pharmacist consultation without a prescription.
No. Generic sildenafil contains the same active ingredient as Viagra and works in the same way. Inactive ingredients and tablet appearance can differ. Generic sildenafil is usually lower in price. Your prescriber can advise which is suitable for you.
Yes, for Viagra 25mg, 50mg and 100mg tablets, which are prescription-only medicines. At Access Doctor you complete an online consultation (no separate fee), and a UK-registered prescriber issues the prescription if Viagra is suitable for you. Viagra Connect 50mg is the exception: it is a pharmacy medicine that can be supplied after a pharmacist consultation without a prescription.
Most men start on 50mg. 100mg may be prescribed if 50mg works but not well enough and you have no troublesome side effects. 25mg may be used if you have mild or moderate liver problems or severe kidney problems, take an alpha-blocker or certain other medicines, or get side effects on 50mg. Do not change your dose without speaking to a prescriber or pharmacist.
Swallow one tablet with water about 1 hour before sex. You can take it with or without food, but it may take longer to work after a heavy meal. You still need to be sexually aroused for it to work. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours.
Branded Viagra is only prescribed on the NHS in limited circumstances, such as for men with certain medical conditions. Most GPs prescribe generic sildenafil instead, which contains the same active ingredient and can be prescribed on the NHS for erectile dysfunction after a health check. NHS prescription charges apply in England unless you are exempt; prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Do not take Viagra if you are allergic to sildenafil, use any nitrate medicine, nicorandil or poppers, take riociguat, have been told to avoid sex because of a heart problem, have recently had a stroke or heart attack, have low blood pressure, have severe liver problems, have an inherited eye condition such as retinitis pigmentosa, or have lost sight in one eye from NAION. Your prescriber will also check for conditions that need caution, such as Peyronie's disease, sickle cell anaemia, leukaemia or multiple myeloma, a bleeding disorder or an active stomach ulcer.
Headache is the most common side effect. Others include flushing, indigestion, a blocked nose, dizziness, feeling sick and changes in vision such as a coloured (often blue) tinge or blurred vision. Get emergency help if an erection lasts more than 4 hours. Stop Viagra and get medical help immediately if you have sudden loss of vision or hearing, or signs of a serious allergic reaction (swelling of the face, lips or throat, or difficulty breathing). If you get chest pain during or after sex, stop, get into a semi-sitting position and call 999 – do not use a GTN spray or any nitrate for the pain.
Viagra must never be taken with nitrates, nicorandil, poppers or riociguat, or with another ED medicine such as tadalafil. Tell your prescriber if you take an alpha-blocker such as doxazosin or tamsulosin, an HIV medicine such as ritonavir (not advised with sildenafil), or medicines such as clarithromycin, erythromycin, itraconazole or ketoconazole – you may need a lower dose. Drinking a lot of alcohol can make it harder to get an erection. Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, which can increase side effects.
Yes, if you use a UK pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (or, in Northern Ireland, the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland) and a prescriber reviews your medical history first. Websites that sell Viagra without asking about your health are not operating legally in the UK, and counterfeit ED medicines can contain the wrong dose, the wrong ingredient or contaminants. Access Doctor's pharmacy, Pharmadocs UK Limited, is registered with the GPhC (No. 9011198).
Yes. Your consultation is confidential and seen only by the clinical team involved in your care. Your order is sent in plain, unbranded packaging with nothing on the outside identifying the medicine or Access Doctor.
