Avana (avanafil) is an ED medicine that works fast for many men. It’s sold as 50 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg tablets and often starts working in 15–30 minutes. That faster start time is why people pick Avana when they want less waiting and more spontaneity.
Avana blocks PDE5, which helps increase blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. Most doctors start patients on 100 mg taken about 15–30 minutes before sex. If 100 mg is too strong, a doctor may lower it to 50 mg. If it’s not effective, the dose might be increased to 200 mg, but never exceed 200 mg in 24 hours. Taking Avana on an empty stomach usually speeds its effect; heavy or high-fat meals can slow it down.
Common side effects are headache, flushing, nasal congestion, back pain, and dizziness. Rare but serious issues include vision changes, sudden hearing loss, or priapism (an erection lasting over four hours). If you experience chest pain, fainting, or a prolonged erection, get emergency help. Don’t take Avana with nitrates used for chest pain — it can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Also avoid strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (like ritonavir or ketoconazole) and grapefruit juice unless your doctor adjusts your dose.
Buying Avana online? Use only pharmacies that ask for a valid prescription and provide clear contact details for a pharmacist. Check for HTTPS security, visible licensing info, and real customer reviews. Trusted seals to look for include official national pharmacy regulator listings or industry programs (for example, in some countries look for verified pharmacy accreditation). Avoid sites that ship without asking medical questions or that offer unrealistic prices — those are red flags for counterfeit meds.
If you choose a generic, verify the active ingredient is listed as avanafil and that the manufacturer and batch details are shown. Check shipping options and expected delivery times before ordering; some sellers won’t ship controlled meds to certain countries. Keep the packaging and check the expiry date when your order arrives.
Store Avana in its original container, away from heat and moisture. Don’t split tablets unless the product specifically allows it. Keep a current list of all medicines and supplements you take so your prescriber can spot interactions.
Questions to ask your doctor: How does Avana compare to other ED drugs for me? When should I expect results? What if the dose doesn’t work? If you’re on blood pressure meds or alpha-blockers, ask how to time them with Avana to avoid low blood pressure.
