Prioritising your ED health begins with understanding how erectile dysfunction treatments work and choosing a trusted service that supplies them safely. At Rx Direct, we provide clinically approved medication through a secure online pharmacy, giving you a convenient and discreet way to manage your symptoms.
Looking after ED health involves recognising the causes of erectile dysfunction, understanding how treatment supports sexual function and knowing when professional help is the right step. Many men experience ED at some stage in life, and taking action early often leads to better results.
Rx Direct offers an online consultation, expert prescriber review and discreet delivery. This ensures every medicine we supply is safe, suitable and sourced from regulated UK suppliers.
Understanding Viagra and Cialis
Two of the most commonly prescribed ED treatments are Viagra and Cialis. They both belong to the PDE5 inhibitor family, but they work in slightly different ways. These differences can influence which treatment fits best with your lifestyle and preferences.

Viagra Overview
Viagra contains sildenafil and is known for being a fast-acting, short-duration treatment.
Key points include:
• Works within 30 to 60 minutes
• Lasts up to 4 hours
• Taken only when needed
• Suitable for men wanting predictable, short-term support
Many men prefer Viagra when they want medication that does not stay in the body for long and only want support at specific times.
Cialis Overview
Cialis contains tadalafil and is chosen for its long duration.
Key points include:
• Starts working in about 30 minutes
• Lasts up to 36 hours
• Can be taken when needed or as a daily low dose
• Ideal for men wanting more flexibility or natural spontaneity
The extended duration of Cialis makes it popular for weekend use or for those who prefer not to plan around dosing.
Suitability and Choosing the Right Option
Choosing between Viagra and Cialis depends on several personal factors.
These include:
• How quickly you want the treatment to work
• How long you want the effects to last
• How often you prefer to take medication
• Your medical history and current medicines
• Your lifestyle and level of spontaneity
During your Rx Direct consultation, our prescribers review your ED health, symptoms and background to determine the safest and most effective option. Get in touch if you have any questions.
