Avanair 100 mg Tablet

Avanair 100 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 100 mg of avanafil in each tablet. It belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Avanair 100 mg Tablet is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men by helping improve blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation.

How it works: Avanafil helps relax the blood vessels in the penis, which can allow more blood to flow in when you are sexually aroused. Because Avanair 100 mg Tablet is an oral tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed before it can work to support an erection.

Avanair 100 mg Tablet is a mid-range strength that may be chosen when a doctor wants a dose stronger than lower-strength avanafil but does not need the maximum available strength. Compared with Avanair 200 mg Tablet, the 100 mg tablet may be a better fit for men who respond to a moderate dose or who may be more sensitive to side effects.

• Treatment of erectile dysfunction
• Helps achieve and maintain an erection with sexual stimulation
• Used in adult men with ED
• May be prescribed when a moderate avanafil dose is appropriate

• Swallow Avanair 100 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it about 15 to 30 minutes before sexual activity, or exactly as your doctor tells you.
• Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period.
• It can be taken with or without food, but a very heavy or high-fat meal may slow how quickly it works.
• Sexual stimulation is still needed for the medicine to work.
• Do not split, crush, or chew the tablet unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.

Each Avanair 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of avanafil per tablet. The doctor decides the dosing schedule, and it is generally taken only as needed before sexual activity rather than on a fixed daily schedule. Do not take more than 100 mg once in 24 hours unless your prescriber specifically instructs otherwise.

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