Avana 200 mg Tablet

Avana 200 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 200 mg of avanafil in each tablet. It belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Avana 200 mg Tablet is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men, helping improve the ability to get and keep an erection when sexually stimulated.

How it works: Avanafil in Avana 200 mg Tablet helps relax blood vessels in the penis by blocking the PDE5 enzyme. This improves blood flow during sexual stimulation, which can make it easier to achieve and maintain an erection.

Avana 200 mg Tablet is the highest strength in this product line, above Avana 50 mg Tablet and Avana 100 mg Tablet. Because it delivers a larger dose in one tablet, it is generally reserved for men whose doctor has decided a lower strength is not enough or is not the best option. It is not a better choice for everyone, and the higher dose may also increase the chance of side effects.

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Difficulty getting an erection
• Difficulty keeping an erection
• Improving erectile response with sexual stimulation

• Take Avana 200 mg Tablet by mouth with water, exactly as your doctor prescribes.
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, split, or chew it unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Take it before sexual activity, usually about 15 to 30 minutes beforehand, as advised by your doctor.
• Do not take more than one Avana 200 mg Tablet in 24 hours.
• A high-fat meal may slow how quickly it starts to work, so some people take it on a lighter stomach.
• Sexual stimulation is still needed for the medicine to work.

Each Avana 200 mg Tablet provides 200 mg of avanafil, which is a higher-dose tablet rather than a starting dose. It should be taken no more than once in 24 hours, and the exact dose and timing must be decided by a doctor based on your health and response. Do not take extra tablets to make it work better.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
