Pharmaceutical name:
Avanafil
Avana is an oral medication recommended for men experiencing erectile dysfunction. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the corpus cavernosum, promoting increased blood flow to the penis. This facilitates easier attainment and maintenance of an erection when sexual stimulation occurs. It may be prescribed in conjunction with other medications or for conditions not specifically listed.
To achieve the safest and most effective results from Avana, follow the instructions that come with the packaging and those given by your doctor. Typically, it should be taken thirty minutes before expected sexual activity to allow it to start working. The usual dose is one 50 mg tablet, although your specific regimen will depend on your health status, symptoms, and response to other treatments. Never attempt to self-medicate or alter your dosage schedule, as doing so may lead to serious or unforeseen health issues.
Take the tablet whole with a large glass of water. You can take it on an empty stomach, but if you feel nauseous, a light snack or meal might be necessary. Do not crush, split, chew, or dissolve the tablets prior to taking, as this could damage them or change their effects. It’s important to remember that this medication will not induce an erection on its own; sexual stimulation is required.
Make sure to attend regular appointments with your doctor to ensure that you are achieving the intended results from the treatment. After assessing your progress and how you are responding to the medication, your doctor may suggest changes to your dosage or other modifications until the desired effects are reached. If you have any questions about the medication before taking it, consult your pharmacist or doctor for proper guidance.
Like any medical treatment, Avana may lead to side effects in some patients, which can vary in intensity and may not occur in everyone. If you notice any unusual symptoms that are persistent, severe, or concerning, promptly inform your physician. It may be necessary to reduce your dosage or frequency of use to prevent further issues. In more serious instances, emergency medical help may be required.
Potential side effects include: headache, dizziness or drowsiness, upset stomach, constipation or diarrhea, facial or neck warmth, tingling or redness, cold or flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, aches, or sore throat), and back, joint, or muscle pain.
More severe reactions that may necessitate medical attention include: extreme light-headedness or fainting, chest pain, chest tightness or breathing difficulties, arrhythmias, swelling or pain in the limbs, vision changes (blurriness, halos, or loss of vision), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and priapism (an erection that is painful or endures beyond four hours).
Avana is not intended for use by women, children, or individuals taking other nitrate medications. Additionally, inform your doctor if you have other health issues that might complicate treatment, such as a peptic ulcer, blood cell disorder, physical abnormalities of the penis, heart disease, arrhythmia, angina, hemophilia, retinitis pigmentosa, restrictions against sexual activity, recent heart attack, liver disease, kidney disease, or if you are undergoing dialysis. Adjustments in dosage or treatment may be necessary to minimize potential complications.
If you experience an allergic or hypersensitive reaction, seek emergency medical assistance. Possible signs include difficulty breathing, trouble swallowing, swelling, chest tightness, skin rashes, and hives.
Use Avana strictly as instructed and prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist. Do not change your dosage unless explicitly directed to do so by them. Dosage and use often depend on the condition's severity, the patient's medical background, and current health status.
Before starting this medication, ensure your doctor is informed of the following: if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have any allergies, if you have other illnesses, disorders, or medical conditions, if you are taking any other drugs or medications, and if you are using any vitamins or supplements.
