Sildenafil usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes and can remain effective for up to around four hours. This is a window in which it can help you respond to sexual stimulation, not a continuous erection.

Sildenafil can be taken with or without food, but a large or high-fat meal can delay how quickly it works. Keep alcohol moderate, as drinking heavily can make it harder to get an erection and may increase side effects. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice are best avoided.

50mg is the usual starting strength. 25mg is generally used if 50mg causes side effects or a lower dose is clinically appropriate. If 50mg is well tolerated but is not effective after several correctly timed attempts, 100mg may be available following review of your online consultation. Never take more than the prescribed dose.

Yes. Generic sildenafil and Viagra contain the same active ingredient and work in the same way when taken at an equivalent strength. The main differences are the brand name, appearance, packaging, price and inactive ingredients.

Tadalafil may remain effective for up to 36 hours, giving you a longer window for sexual activity without needing to time the dose as closely. It does not cause a continuous erection, and sexual stimulation is still required.

Food does not usually affect how tadalafil works. Keep alcohol moderate, as drinking heavily can make erections more difficult and increase dizziness or low blood pressure. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice are best avoided.

10mg is the usual starting strength for tadalafil taken when needed. If 10mg is well tolerated but is not effective after several correctly timed attempts, 20mg may be available following clinical review. A higher dose is not automatically better and may increase side effects.

Yes. Generic tadalafil and Cialis contain the same active ingredient and work in the same way when taken at an equivalent strength. The main differences are the brand name, appearance, packaging, price and inactive ingredients.

It may suit men who expect sexual activity at least twice a week or who prefer greater spontaneity. Suitability depends on your health, current medicines, how often you expect to use treatment and how you respond to tadalafil.

Take one 2.5mg or 5mg tablet at approximately the same time each day, with or without food. 5mg is the usual daily strength, while 2.5mg may be used when a lower strength is more suitable or 5mg is not well tolerated. Follow the prescribed dose and do not take more than one tablet per day.

Some men notice a benefit sooner, but tadalafil builds to a steady level over several days. Allow around five days of regular daily use before judging its full effect.

Take a missed dose when you remember unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Never take two doses together. Do not add sildenafil, on-demand tadalafil or another ED tablet unless a prescriber has specifically approved it.

Treatment may not be suitable if sexual activity has been medically discouraged, or if you have recently had a heart attack or stroke, unstable angina, very low or uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe liver or kidney problems, or certain blood or eye conditions. The online consultation is designed to identify these risks before treatment is approved.

Do not take ED tablets if you use nitrate medicines for chest pain or recreational poppers. Other medicines, including some treatments for blood pressure, prostate problems, infections or HIV, can also affect which treatment or dose is suitable. List all medicines and health conditions in the online consultation so the prescriber has a full picture before making a recommendation.

Common side effects include headache, flushing, indigestion, a blocked nose and dizziness. Sildenafil can sometimes cause temporary changes to colour vision, while tadalafil can cause back or muscle aches. These effects are usually mild, but contact our pharmacy or prescribing team if they are troublesome or do not settle.

Seek urgent medical help for chest pain, a severe allergic reaction, sudden loss or significant change in vision or hearing, or a painful or prolonged erection lasting four hours or more. If you develop chest pain after taking an ED tablet, do not take nitrate medication. Call 999 and tell the medical team exactly what you took and when.
