Sildenafil

You can purchase Sildenafil with a prescription which you can get from our doctors at Click Pharmacy after filling in a short questionnaire via our website. Our experts can assess your answers to ensure that this choice of medication will be appropriate for your current health situation, for example other treatments you may be taking and how it may affect any potential medical issues your suffer with, such as heart problems and diabetes.

Once you have a prescription you can purchase your medication online via the Click Pharmacy website and you will not need to redo the questionnaire. The treatment will then be sent to your house by next day delivery where possible.

ED can be a distressing problem and it may have a negative impact on your self-esteem and your relationships and Sildenafil offers reliable and effective treatment. It contains the same active ingredient as Viagra (sildenafil citrate), but it is a cheaper alternative. The drug is effective within one hour and its positive effects can last for up to six hours.

The dose used in each patients’ situation can ensure greater or less effectiveness depending on what someone desires to achieve from their treatment. For example, some may prefer to be able to use one tablet daily whereas others may prefer or require a lower dose, such as those having more side effects from the treatment or an older patient or those with poor underlying health issues. Whatever your require, there are different doses of the product which can be used to benefit your personal situation.

It has been clearly shown to be effective for patients with severe ED and as such it also appears from studies that Sildenafil also improves the quality of the patient’s relationship with their sexual partner overall.

The treatment comes in tablet form and you should never take more than one within a 24-hour period.

There are three available dosages, 25mg, 50mg and 100mg, and whilst the higher dose can increase the effectiveness of the treatment, the lower dose can incur fewer side effects.

For further information on dosages, you can speak to your doctor or consult one of our knowledgeable healthcare professionals at Click Pharmacy.

The drug usually works best when taken an hour before sexual activity though it can be taken anywhere between 4 hours and 30 minutes before intercourse. It is most effective when consumed on an empty stomach and without alcohol, and certainly, if you do eat prior to taking it then bear in mind that a high-fat meal will negatively affect its ability to work. Once taken, it can carry on working for between four and six hours.

The medicine works by relaxing the muscles in the veins that carry blood to the penis by preventing the action of a certain natural chemical called phosphodiesterase type-5. By doing this, it promotes increased blood flow, making it possible to get an erection during sexual activity. Contrary to popular belief, the treatment does not cause spontaneous erections or have any effect on your sexual desire; instead you must be sexually aroused to get an erection using Sildenafil.

It is important to be aware that PDE5 inhibitors do not treat the underlying causes of ED, which can include physical problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure, and psychological issues like anxiety and depression. Because of this, it is important to seek medical advice to find out why you are experiencing ED.

As with all medicines there are potential side effects to consider. The most common include headaches, heartburn, flushed skin, nasal congestion, indigestion, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Also note that the treatment should never be taken with nitrates because it can cause a serious and potentially fatal drop in blood pressure.

Taking too much and overdosing can be highly dangerous and will not increase the desired effects of the treatment. But it can result in side effects such as chest pains, an irregular heart rate, nausea and priapism which is an erection which cannot subside. If left untreated, priapism can lead to permanent damage and future issues with achieving an erection. If this occurs, seek medical support right away.

For further information on these issues or if your treatment does not work satisfactorily contact your GP or consult our specialists.

Sildenafil and Viagra are the same treatment at their core, with Sildenafil being the active ingredient in both and Viagra being only the branded name for it rather than the generic name. The other main difference between them physically is that Viagra is a blue, diamond-shaped pill and Sildenafil is a blue or white oval shaped pill.

After Viagra lost its UK patent in 2013, other generic versions were able to be created and launched; Sildenafil was one of them. Being a generic product means that Sildenafil is substantially cheaper even though it contains the same ingredients as its branded counterpart.

It is important to tell your GP or Click Pharmacy doctor if you are taking any other prescription or non-prescription medications including vitamins, supplements and herbal products such as St John’s Wart. This is because certain drugs can interact with Sildenafil making it either ineffective or dangerous to your health.

Alcohol decreases the amount of blood which will remain in your penis making it more difficult for you to achieve an erection. It can also be dangerous to take Sildenafil and alcohol as both products lower your blood pressure meaning that you could end up feeling dizzy and faint. As such, if you are taking Sildenafil for ED then it is best to avoid alcohol as it will not help to improve your sexual performance.
