What is Avanafil?
Avanafil is a prescription medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED)—a condition where it’s difficult to get or maintain an erection firm enough for sex. It works by improving blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. Avanafil is the active ingredient in Stendra, and it’s available in various strengths, including 50mg, 100mg, and 200mg.
Who is the ideal candidate for Avanafil?
Avanafil is suitable for adult men who:
-
Struggle to get or keep an erection
-
Are in good general health or have been cleared by a healthcare professional to use ED medication
Avanafil may not be suitable if you:
-
Take nitrates for chest pain
-
Have serious heart, liver, or kidney issues
-
Have had a recent stroke or heart attack
Our trained clinicians will review your health and current medications to make sure Avanafil is safe for you.
How does Avanafil work to treat erectile dysfunction?
Avanafil works by relaxing the blood vessels and improving blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. This increased circulation helps you get and maintain a firmer erection. Like other ED medications, Avanafil doesn’t increase sexual desire and only works when you’re sexually aroused.
How do I take Avanafil?
Take Avanafil about 15 to 30 minutes before sexual activity. It typically starts working faster than other ED treatments and may remain effective for up to 6 hours.
-
Swallow the tablet whole with water
-
Don’t take more than one dose in 24 hours
-
Avoid heavy meals or alcohol before taking it, as they can reduce its effectiveness
Our clinicians will help you choose the most appropriate dose—whether that’s 50mg, 100mg, or 200mg—based on your health and needs.
What are the main side effects of Avanafil?
Like all medicines, Avanafil can cause side effects, though not everyone gets them. Common side effects may include:
-
Headache
-
Flushing
-
Nasal congestion
-
Back pain
-
Dizziness
These are typically mild and temporary.
Will Avanafil Cure My Erectile Dysfunction?
Avanafil is a treatment, not a cure for ED. It helps improve your ability to get and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation but does not address underlying causes.
Is Avanafil the Same as Stendra?
Yes, Avanafil is the generic version of Stendra. Both contain the same active ingredient and are used to treat erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the penis when you’re aroused.
What else should I know about Avanafil?
-
Only take Avanafil when planning to have sex
-
It won’t work without sexual stimulation
-
Don’t mix it with recreational drugs or nitrates
-
