Avanafil is mainly used to treat erectile dysfunction and requires attention to drug contraindications and adverse reactions. It is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to use the drug.
Avanafil is a type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitor that stimulates the release of nitric oxide from the corpus cavernosum of the penis, leading to a significant increase in the level of 3,5-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (CGMP), which relaxes the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosum and allows blood to flow in. It is mainly used to treat erectile dysfunction in men.
Adverse reactions such as headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, nausea and diarrhea may occur during the course of taking Avanafil. It is contraindicated for those who are allergic to the components of the drug. The drug is prohibited in combination with organic nitrates (such as nitroglycerin, sodium nitroprusside), which can enhance the antihypertensive effect of nitrates.
The drug is a prescription drug and should be used under the supervision of a doctor.
