Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common and, in most cases, treatable. Medicina Pharmacy offers consultation-led access to licensed ED treatments, including sildenafil (generic Viagra) and tadalafil (generic Cialis). Complete a short online consultation and, if a treatment is suitable for you, a UK-registered prescriber will approve it for discreet delivery.

What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction means difficulty getting or keeping an erection firm enough for sex. It can happen at any age and often has a physical cause such as reduced blood flow, diabetes, high blood pressure or hormonal changes, as well as psychological causes such as stress or anxiety. Occasional difficulty is normal, but if it happens regularly it is worth speaking to a GP, because ED can sometimes be an early sign of another health condition.

Compare treatment options

The two medicines most commonly used for ED in the UK are sildenafil and tadalafil. Both are prescription-only and work by improving blood flow, and both need sexual stimulation to work.

How the online consultation works

1. Complete a short online medical questionnaire. 2. A UK-registered prescriber reviews your answers. 3. If treatment is suitable, the pharmacy dispenses it and delivers it discreetly. No face-to-face appointment is needed, and you can contact the pharmacy team if you are unsure which option to choose.

Safety and suitability

ED treatments are not suitable for everyone. They should not be taken with nitrate medicines (used for chest pain) and may be unsuitable for people with certain heart conditions or low blood pressure. This is why a consultation is required before any treatment is supplied. Tell the prescriber about all medicines you take and your medical history. For general information, see the NHS guidance on erectile dysfunction .

Frequently asked questions

What is the best treatment for erectile dysfunction?

No single treatment suits everyone. Sildenafil is usually taken when needed; tadalafil can last longer and suit more spontaneous use. A prescriber decides which is suitable based on your health and how you want to use treatment.

What is the difference between sildenafil and tadalafil?

Sildenafil works in 30–60 minutes and lasts up to ~4 hours. Tadalafil can work within 30 minutes and last up to ~36 hours. Both are prescription-only and need sexual stimulation.

Do I need a prescription for ED tablets in the UK?

Yes. Sildenafil and tadalafil are prescription-only. A registered pharmacy can supply them after a short online consultation.

How do I get ED treatment online from Medicina?

Complete a short questionnaire, a prescriber reviews it, and if suitable your medication is dispensed and delivered discreetly. No appointment needed.

How long does sildenafil take to work and last?

Usually 30–60 minutes to work, lasting up to 4 hours. Sexual stimulation is needed; a heavy meal can delay it.

Are ED tablets safe?

They suit many men when prescribed after a health check, but not everyone — e.g. people on nitrates or with some heart conditions. That is why a consultation is required.

Can I buy Viagra or sildenafil over the counter in the UK?

Viagra Connect can be sold from a pharmacy after a check; standard sildenafil/tadalafil stay prescription-only. Avoid sites selling ED tablets with no medical assessment.

What causes erectile dysfunction?

Physical causes (blood flow, diabetes, blood pressure, hormones) and psychological ones (stress, anxiety). Ongoing symptoms should be discussed with a GP.
