About Viagra
-
-
Viagra is an erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment that can help you get an erection if you’re sexually stimulated.
It’s a prescription-only medication and must be approved by a doctor before use.
-
-
Sildenafil, the active ingredient, belongs to a group of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis, allowing better blood flow when you’re sexually aroused. Long-term studies show it’s effective for up to 82% of men.
It takes around 30-60 minutes to work and lasts for 4 to 6 hours.
-
-
- Take your tablet about 1 hour before you’re going to have sex.
- Swallow it whole, with a glass of water. Eatinga heavy meal before taking it can increase the time it takes to work.
- Viagra will only help you get an erection if you’re sexually stimulated. Try engaging in foreplay once you feel ready to have sex.
Avoid grapefruit juice, as this can increase your exposure to sildenafil. We also recommend avoiding alcohol as it can make Viagra take longer to work and make it harder to get an erection. Both can increase the likelihood and severity of side effects.
Do not take it more than once per day, even if it didn’t work the first time or you didn’t last as long as you’d like.

Frequently asked questions
How to use Viagra for best results?
To get the best results from Viagra:
- take the dose your doctor prescribed
- avoid heavy meals, alcohol, or drugs before taking it
- make sure you’re sexually stimulated before trying to have sex
- take it at the right time (30-60 minutes before sex)
- make changes to improve your overall health, such as quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating well, and exercising regularly – this can reduce ED symptoms
Do Viagra tablets become less effective over time?
During long-term clinical trials, the safety and effectiveness of Viagra was maintained. However, there’s a small chance that it may become less effective for you over time. This could be caused by a number of things including age, the cause of your ED, other health conditions, or other medications that you take. If this happens, you may need a higher dose or a different ED treatment.
Can I get Viagra on the NHS?
Yes, you can get Viagra on the NHS for ED. You’ll need to speak to your doctor about your symptoms. They may also prescribe an alternative such as generic sildenafil.
Can women take Viagra?
Women should never take Viagra, as it’s only for men with ED. It could be dangerous to take sildenafil as a woman, especially if you’ve got any health conditions or could be pregnant. It also won’t have the same effect. Speak to a doctor if you’re a woman and are struggling with a low sex drive or dryness in the vagina.
Can I split Viagra tablets?
You shouldn’t split Viagra tablets, as it’s not known how much of the active ingredient you’re taking. This could make it less effective. If you think your dose is too high, speak to your doctor about taking a lower dose.
