Avana 100mg (Avanafil Tablets) – Complete Product Information

Product Description

Avana 100mg contains Avanafil 100mg, a prescription medication used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It belongs to a class of medicines known as phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Avanafil helps improve blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity.

Avanafil is recognized for its relatively fast onset of action, with some men experiencing effects in as little as 15–30 minutes after taking the tablet. Sexual stimulation is still required for the medication to work effectively.

• Fast-acting erectile dysfunction treatment
• May begin working within 15–30 minutes

Uses of Avana 100mg

Primary Use

• Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. ED can result from physical, psychological, hormonal, vascular, or neurological causes.

How Avana 100mg Works (Mechanism of Action)

Avanafil works by inhibiting the enzyme PDE5 (Phosphodiesterase Type 5). During sexual stimulation, the body releases nitric oxide, which increases levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Increased cGMP relaxes smooth muscles and widens blood vessels in the penis, allowing more blood flow.

By blocking PDE5, Avanafil helps maintain higher cGMP levels, promoting stronger and longer-lasting erections during sexual arousal. It does not increase sexual desire and will not cause an erection without sexual stimulation.
