Avanafil is a popular and effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. It works quicker than other oral erectile dysfunction medications, with many men able to achieve better erections in just 15 minutes. Avanafil works by helping the blood vessels to relax. This increases the blood flow into your penis, helping it stay hard and erect when you get sexually excited. It is important to note that like other erectile dysfunction medications, Avanafil only works if you are sexually stimulated. You and your partner will still need to use foreplay to get ready for sex – just as you probably would if you were not taking a medicine to help you. The effects can generally last for about 4 to 5 hours, although it should be noted this doesn’t mean you will have a constant erection for this amount of time.
Side effects are rare, and most people don’t get any. Possible side effects may vary from one person to the next, as with any medication. You should always read the manufacturer’s Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) before taking this or any other medication. Possible side-effects can include nasal congestion, headaches, facial flushing, slight vertigo, a pounding heartbeat and blurred vision.
