Avanafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis. This happens because it inhibits a specific enzyme, phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5), allowing more cyclic GMP to accumulate. Increased cyclic GMP relaxes the smooth muscles in the penis, leading to improved blood flow and facilitating an erection.
Faster Onset of Action
Unlike some other PDE5 inhibitors, Avanafil boasts a relatively fast onset of action. Many men experience effects within 15-30 minutes of taking it, making it a convenient option for spontaneity.
Targeted Action, Minimal Side Effects
Avanafil’s selective action on PDE5 minimizes potential side effects compared to less specific drugs. Common, generally mild side effects may include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual changes. Always consult your doctor regarding potential interactions with other medications.
Improved Sexual Function
By facilitating better blood flow, Avanafil helps many men achieve and maintain erections sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. This improvement in sexual function can positively impact overall relationship satisfaction and self-esteem.
Dosage and Administration
Avanafil is usually taken orally, as needed, approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity. The recommended starting dose is 100 mg. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual needs and health status. Follow your physician’s instructions carefully.
Important Considerations
Avanafil is not suitable for everyone. Men with certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, or those taking specific medications should discuss its use with their doctor before taking it. Always be honest with your physician about your health history and current medications to ensure safe use.
