Sildenafil 50mg is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction.
It belongs to the class of drugs known as PDE5 inhibitors and these work by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis, allowing blood to flow into it when you are sexually aroused and resulting in an erection.
Sildenafil will not give you an instant erection – you must be sexually aroused for it to work.
Sildenafil has been proven to help men with erectile dysfunction get a hard erection and maintain it for sexual intercourse
Who is it for?
Sildenafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction in males only – it must not be taken by females.
There are certain medical conditions which mean sildenafil is not suitable for you (contact us to discuss alternatives)
Some of these conditions include (but are not limited to)
· If you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the tablets
· Suffer from uncontrolled/severe heart conditions
· Recent history of stroke or heart attack
· Low blood pressure
· If you are taking any nitrate containing medications (GTN spray, or nitrates in other forms such as ‘poppers’)
How to Take
Sildenafil tablets come in 25mg, 50mg and 100mg strengths..
The recommended starting dose is usually 50mg taken approximately 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity and then adjusted to 25-100mg according to the response.
You should not take more than one tablet of sildenafil in any 24 hour period, nor should it be mixed with other erectile dysfunction treatments.
Taking sildenafil – some practical tips
1. Get in the mood!
Sildenafil by itself will not give you a spontaneous erection – you need to have adequate sexual stimulation for it to work so engage in foreplay just as you would had you not take any sildenafil.
2. Don’t rush!
Sildenafil takes about 30-60 minutes to start working, it remains effective for about 4-5 hours from administration so don’t rush! Remember, you must have adequate sexual stimulation.
3. Eat smart
You can take sildenafil with or without food.
If taken after a meal which is high in fat you may find it takes a little longer to work.
4. Don’t give up
With some men sildenafil may not work the first time you take it, this may be because of a multitude of factors.
If it doesn’t work the first time, just try again on another day – remember, its no more than one tablet in any 24 hour period.
5. Get help if sildenafil still doesn’t work.
If you find after repeat doses sildenafil is still not producing a sufficient erection get in touch with us at QuickMeds for further advice.
Sometimes there are reversible causes of erectile dysfunction which may warrant further investigation, often trying similar medications to sildenafil can produce the desired results.
Side Effects
As with all medications sildenafil can cause side effects in some people who take it.
It is reassuring that any such side effects are usually mild/moderate and only last for a short period of time.
The most common side effects include:
· Headache
· Facial flushing
· Blurred vision/altered vision
· Stuffy nose
· Dizziness
If you experience any of the following please seek immediate medical help from either your GP, out of hours providers (111) or the emergency services (999) as appropriate;
· Chest pain during or after sexual intercourse/activity
· Allergic reaction (swelling of the eyes/face/lips/throat, difficulty breathing)

You can read more about the side effects of sildenafil in the patient information leaflet which is found below.
Cautions & Warnings
Sildenafil may not be appropriate for everyone.
It is only to be used by males who suffer from erectile dysfunction – this is defined as the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.
As with any medical substance interactions can occur when taken with other medications or treatments including but not limited to those below
· Nitrate containing medications
This can include medications such as ‘GTN’ spray, isosorbide mononitrate
· Nitrates in other forms such ‘poppers’
· Antibiotics such as erythromycin, clarithromycin
· Antifungals such as Ketoconazole or Itraconazole
· HIV medications such as Ritonavir, Saquinavir
· Medications that affect your bleeding or clotting
This can include medications such as warfarin
If you have any concerns or queries regarding whether or not sildenafil is safe to take with any combination of medications (both prescribed and over the counter) then do not hesitate to get in touch with one of our qualified pharmacists at QuickMeds.
Yes. As long as you buy Sildenafil from a reputable source like a registered pharmacy with an online store. Even though Sildenafil is much cheaper than Viagra, it doesn't mean it's less effective or a lower quality medication. Online pharmacies need to provide certain licenses and certifications to prove that they are safe to buy from. Please read our article on how to safely buy medication online.
The quantity of medication supplied by Quick Meds will vary depending on a number of factors and is taken into consideration by the prescriber.
Men who suffer from heart problems should be cautious when using Sildenafil. As Sildenafil widens the blood vessels that feed into the heart, increasing the blood flow can put the heart under increasing strain. Any men suffering from heart problems should consult their doctor before taking
Sildenafil or any other erectile dysfunction medication. Whether or not Sildenafil is suitable for you will depend on the severity of your heart problem and symptoms, reviewed by your doctor.
There are many supplements available online that claim to help treat erectile dysfunction. These include L-Arginine, Yohimbe, Dihydroepiandosterone (DHEA), Panax Ginseng, Horny Goat Weed and many more. The difference between Sildenafil and these supplements is that Sildenafil is a licensed medicine that has been clinically proven to be both safe and effective. It also undergoes a strict manufacturing process to make sure each pack adheres to the required standards.
We strongly advise our patients to avoid using supplements for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and stick to clinically proven and licenced medicines.
There are no studies to date that show a link between Sildenafil and any changes in male fertility. Any claims that Sildenafil increases or decreases fertility have not been backed up by scientific evidence.
Sildenafil should be taken on its own, as it may interact with other medication. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before seeking alternative treatments. It should be noted that these medications are prescription only for a reason – medical professionals need to assess what other medications you are taking, and if Sildenafil can be used alongside them without any adverse reactions or interactions and to make sure you are safe to take it.
It can take a few attempts for your body to adjust to the medication. We recommend that you try your initial dosage strength at least 8 times on 8 separate occasions before increasing the dose. If you find Sildenafil ineffective, you may want to try an alternative erectile dysfunction medication containing a different active ingredient such as Tadalafil or Cialis. Although all of these medications work in the same way, some men respond differently to the different types.
Sildenafil can produce an erection in approximately 75% of men suffering from erectile dysfunction. It is the most well-known and reputable ED treatment available in the UK. Majority of men find the 50mg Sildenafil to be effective, however the dosage strength can be increased if necessary.
You should not take more than one Sildenafil tablet or any other erectile dysfunction medication within a 24-hour period. We recommend that you do not take more than 4 individual doses of Sildenafil (or alternative ED medication) tablets per week.
For the majority of men, Sildenafil will start to work around 30 minutes after the tablet has been taken, although it can take up to an hour. The time it takes to kick in varies from person to person and can also be affected by other factors such as food intake and alcohol consumption. If taken with food or alcohol, the drug's effectiveness will be greatly decreased.
The dose that is suitable for you will depend primarily upon whether you have previously taken Sildenafil or any other erectile dysfunction drugs. If you have never taken any of these medications before, you should start by trying the medium dose of Sildenafil, which is a 50mg tablet. You should adjust the dose strength depending on your response to this initial dose. For example, if you have previously taken 50mg Viagra tablets successfully and wish to try generic Sildenafil, you may want to try the 100mg dose. If this is the first time you have ever needed erectile dysfunction medication and experience some side effects, you may want to try the lower strength dose of 25mg.
