Avanafil (Stendra)
Avanafil is a medication primarily used for treating erectile dysfunction (ED), a condition where a man finds it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse.
Avanafil is a medication primarily used for treating erectile dysfunction (ED), a condition where a man finds it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse.
It belongs to a class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors more precisely, PDE5 inhibitors. These drugs work by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping to facilitate an erection when a man is sexually stimulated.
Avanafil works by blocking the action of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5. Normally, this enzyme breaks down a substance known as cyclic GMP, which is responsible for relaxing the muscles in the penis and allowing blood to flow in. By inhibiting this enzyme, avanafil increases the levels of cyclic GMP, leading to improved blood flow to the penis and helping to achieve and maintain an erection.
Avanafil does not cure erectile dysfunction, impotence or increase sexual desire. It’s also not a protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
Avanafil is a fast-acting medication, with an onset of action of approximately 15 minutes. This is faster than other popular PDE5 inhibitors such as Viagra and Cialis.
Avanafil comes in tablet form and is designed to be taken as needed, approximately 15 to 30 minutes before sexual activity. It’s not meant to be taken on a daily basis or as a preventative measure against ED. It should not be taken more than once a day.
Avanafil comes in different dosages, and the appropriate dose varies depending on an individual’s health status, other medications they may be taking, and the severity of their condition.
