What is sildenafil accord and how does it work?

Sildenafil accord is a generic medicine containing sildenafil citrate, the same active ingredient found in branded Viagra. It belongs to a group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors, which work by relaxing blood vessels in the penis, allowing increased blood flow when you are sexually aroused [3]. Sildenafil does not cause an erection on its own—sexual stimulation is needed for it to work.

Generic sildenafil, including sildenafil accord, is bioequivalent to branded Viagra, meaning it contains the same active ingredient at the same strength and works in the same way [3]. The main difference is the price: generic versions are typically much more affordable because they do not carry the brand premium. All generic sildenafil products licensed in the UK meet the same strict quality and safety standards set by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Sildenafil is taken about one hour before sexual activity and can remain effective for up to four hours [3]. It is suitable for most men with ED, but it must be prescribed after a clinical assessment to ensure it is safe for you, particularly if you have heart conditions, take other medicines, or have certain health problems [1].

Sildenafil accord strengths and how it is supplied

Sildenafil is available in three strengths: 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg tablets [3]. The usual starting dose for most men is 50 mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Depending on how well it works and any side effects, your prescriber may adjust the dose to 25 mg (if side effects occur or you are older) or increase it to 100 mg (if 50 mg is not effective enough) [3]. The maximum dose is 100 mg, and you should not take sildenafil more than once in 24 hours.

Sildenafil tablets are supplied in blister packs and are usually small, film-coated tablets that can be swallowed whole with water. Different manufacturers, including Accord, Teva, and others, produce generic sildenafil, and the appearance of the tablet (colour, shape, markings) may vary depending on the manufacturer. However, all licensed generic sildenafil products contain the same active ingredient and work in the same way.

At Cured Pharmacy, sildenafil is available in packs of various sizes, allowing you to choose the quantity that suits your needs. Prices are per tablet, and larger packs often offer better value. After your online consultation is reviewed and approved by a UK prescriber, your medicine is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your door.

How to take sildenafil accord

Take one tablet about one hour before you plan to have sex, swallowed whole with water [3]. You can take it with or without food, but a heavy or high-fat meal may delay how quickly it works. Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours. Sildenafil will only work when you are sexually aroused—it does not cause an automatic erection. If it does not work the first time, try it on at least eight separate occasions before deciding it is not effective, as anxiety or other factors can affect results [1].

At a glance

What affects the price of sildenafil accord in the UK?

The price of sildenafil in the UK varies depending on several factors. Generic sildenafil, such as sildenafil accord, is significantly cheaper than branded Viagra because it does not include the cost of brand marketing and development. At Cured Pharmacy, generic sildenafil starts from £0.45 per tablet (£0.36 with code Ednew), while branded Viagra costs £37.95 (£30.36 with code Ednew) for the same active ingredient and strength.

The strength of the tablet and the quantity you order also affect the price. Higher strengths (100 mg) may cost slightly more per tablet than lower strengths (25 mg or 50 mg), and buying larger packs often reduces the per-tablet cost. The manufacturer can also influence price: for example, Sildenafil 100 mg (Teva) is priced at £16.99 (£13.59 with code Ednew), reflecting the specific manufacturer's pricing.

Online pharmacies like Cured Pharmacy can offer competitive prices because of lower overheads compared to high-street pharmacies. However, it is essential to ensure any online pharmacy is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and requires a valid prescription or online consultation before supplying prescription medicines. Cured Pharmacy is GPhC-registered (9012511), and all prescriptions are reviewed by UK-registered prescribers to ensure your safety.

How to order sildenafil accord safely online

Sildenafil is a prescription-only medicine in the UK, which means you need a prescription from a qualified healthcare professional before it can be supplied. At Cured Pharmacy, you complete a short online consultation that asks about your health, current medicines, and any conditions that might make sildenafil unsuitable for you. This consultation is reviewed by a UK-registered prescriber (a doctor or independent prescriber pharmacist), who will decide whether sildenafil is safe and appropriate for you [1][2].

The consultation checks for important safety issues, such as whether you take nitrates (used for angina), alpha-blockers (used for prostate or blood pressure problems), or medicines that interact with sildenafil [3]. It also checks whether you have heart conditions, very low blood pressure, or other health problems that mean sildenafil should not be used. If the prescriber approves your request, your medicine is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy and delivered discreetly in plain, unmarked packaging.

Never buy sildenafil from websites that do not require a consultation or prescription, as these sites may sell fake or unsafe medicines. Always check the pharmacy is registered with the GPhC by searching the GPhC register online. If you have not been assessed for ED before, or if ED is a new problem, see your GP first, as ED can be an early warning sign of heart disease or diabetes [1][2].

First-order discount: code Ednew

New customers at Cured Pharmacy can save 20% on their first order of ED treatment by using the code Ednew at checkout. This reduces the price of generic sildenafil from £0.45 to £0.36 per tablet, making it one of the most affordable options available. The discount applies to all ED treatments, including tadalafil, vardenafil, and branded options, helping you access effective treatment at a lower cost.

Comparing sildenafil accord with other ED treatments

Sildenafil is one of four PDE5 inhibitors licensed in the UK for ED. The others are tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra), and avanafil (Spedra) [3][4][5][6]. All work in a similar way by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal, but they differ in how quickly they work and how long they last. Sildenafil takes about one hour to work and lasts up to four hours, making it suitable for planned sexual activity [3].

Tadalafil is often called the 'weekend pill' because it can last up to 36 hours, allowing more spontaneity [4]. It can also be taken daily at a lower dose (2.5 mg or 5 mg) for men who prefer not to plan ahead. Vardenafil works similarly to sildenafil but may be slightly faster (25–60 minutes) [5]. Avanafil (Spedra) is the fastest-acting, working in as little as 15–30 minutes [6][11].

The choice between these medicines depends on your lifestyle, how often you have sex, and how you respond to treatment. Some men find one medicine works better or causes fewer side effects than another. Your prescriber can help you choose the most suitable option. Generic versions of sildenafil and tadalafil are the most affordable, while branded and newer medicines like Spedra tend to cost more.

Who should not take sildenafil accord?

Sildenafil is not suitable for everyone. You must not take sildenafil if you use nitrate medicines for angina (such as GTN spray, isosorbide mononitrate, or isosorbide dinitrate), nicorandil, or riociguat, because the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure [3]. You must also avoid recreational drugs called 'poppers' (amyl or alkyl nitrites) for the same reason. Never take sildenafil with another PDE5 inhibitor (such as tadalafil or vardenafil) at the same time.

Sildenafil is not recommended if you have severe heart or liver problems, very low blood pressure, recent stroke or heart attack, unstable angina, or certain inherited eye conditions [3]. If you take alpha-blockers (such as doxazosin or tamsulosin) for prostate problems or high blood pressure, you may still be able to use sildenafil, but you must start on the lowest dose and be stable on the alpha-blocker first—your prescriber will check this carefully.

Some medicines can interact with sildenafil. Potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as ritonavir, ketoconazole, itraconazole, or clarithromycin) can increase sildenafil levels, so a lower dose may be needed [3]. Other blood-pressure medicines can add to the blood-pressure-lowering effect of sildenafil, which is usually manageable but must be declared. Always tell your prescriber about all medicines you take, including over-the-counter and herbal products, during your online consultation [1][2].

When to seek urgent medical help

Seek urgent medical help if you experience an erection lasting more than four hours (priapism), sudden loss of vision or hearing, or chest pain during sex [3]. Priapism is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment to prevent permanent damage. Stop taking sildenafil and contact your doctor if you have sudden vision or hearing problems. If you experience chest pain during sex, stop and seek medical advice—do not take nitrates to relieve the pain if you have taken sildenafil in the past 24 hours.

When to get urgent help

• Erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism) – go to A&E immediately
• Sudden loss of vision or hearing – stop taking sildenafil and seek urgent medical advice
• Chest pain during sex – stop activity and seek medical help; do not take nitrates if you have used sildenafil in the past 24 hours
• Severe dizziness, fainting, or very low blood pressure – seek same-day medical advice
• Allergic reaction (rash, swelling of face or throat, difficulty breathing) – call 999

Call 999 or go to A&E in an emergency, or contact NHS 111 for urgent advice.
