Avana

Product Overview

Avana is a medication containing the active ingredient Avanafil. It is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Avana works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping to achieve and maintain an erection.

Uses

Avana is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), a condition characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It is not intended for use in women or children.

How to Use

Avana should be taken orally as needed, approximately 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. The medication can be taken with or without food. Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking Avana, as it may increase the risk of side effects.

How it Works

Avana works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for breaking down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the penis. By blocking PDE5, Avana helps to relax the blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood to flow more freely and facilitating the process of achieving and maintaining an erection.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended starting dose of Avana is 100 mg, taken orally as needed approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity. Depending on individual response and tolerability, the dose may be adjusted to 50 mg or 200 mg. Do not take more than one dose of it in a 24-hour period.
