Sildenafil Tablets (25mg, 50mg,100mg)

Sildenafil film-coated tablets (commonly known by the brand name Viagra) are prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction (the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity) in men.

Sildenafil tablets contain the active ingredient sildenafil citrate, which works in the same way as branded Viagra tabletstablers, but usually more affordable.

This medication comes in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg film-coated oral tablets. In the UK, it’s only available in tablet form, not as a gel or liquid, and is sold in packs of 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 tablets.

Sildenafil tablets are only for men with erection problems (ED) and must be prescribed by one of our accredited online prescribers.

If you don't have erection problems, you should not take Sildenafil tablets, as they are NOT recommended for men without this condition. This medicine is also NOT intended for females.

Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors, which work by increasing blood flow. During sexual arousal, your body increases a chemical messenger (cGMP) that helps blood vessels in the penis relax, so more blood can flow in and an erection can form.

In some men, the PDE-5 enzyme breaks down cGMP too quickly. Sildenafil tablets help by blocking PDE-5, allowing cGMP to remain active for longer and improving blood flow to support a firmer erection.

Important key points:

• Only works if you are sexually aroused or stimulated– it won't give you an erection randomly.
  It takes about 30-60 mins to kick in.
• Lasts approximately 4 hours (but you may not have an erection the whole time).
• Available on NHS (if prescribed) or privately from pharmacies like Ashcroft Pharmacy.

Yes, they do. Many studies confirm that sildenafil helps improve the ability to get and maintain an erection for successful intercourse.

Sildenafil tablets significantly improves the ability to achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sex, with response rates ranging from 60% to over 80%, depending on dosage, health condition, and trial specifics.

When do Sildenafil tablets start working?

Sildenafil usually starts to work within about 30 to 60 minutes. For best results, take it with water and avoid heavy meals close to taking your dose.

How long does it last?

For most men, effects last around 4 hours, although this varies from person to person.

• Age: You are 18 or over.

If you already have a prescription:

You can upload it during the checkout process, and our pharmacist will verify it before dispensing your medication.

If you don't have a prescription:

No problem, just complete our secure online consultation. One of our UK-registered prescribers will review your answers and, if suitable, issue a private prescription as part of your order.

Important Note for Your Safety:

Even if you meet the above general criteria, sildenafil is NOT suitable for all men, especially those with severe heart conditions or a history of stroke.

Certain medicines, especially nitrates used to treat angina and heart disease, can dangerously interact with sildenafil. Do NOT take sildenafil with nitrates (medications for chest pain), as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Before buying sildenafil online:

It's recommended to have a face-to-face appointment with your GP. However, many people choose the convenience of an online consultation, like what we offer here on the online Ashcroft Pharmacy. 

Suitability for treatment is checked during our online consultation.
