Avanair 200 mg Tablet

Avanair 200 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 200 mg of avanafil in each tablet. Avanafil belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class and is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. Avanair 200 mg Tablet helps improve the ability to get and keep an erection when sexual stimulation occurs. It is not an aphrodisiac and does not cause an erection without arousal.

How it works: Avanafil in Avanair 200 mg Tablet works by relaxing blood vessels in the penis so more blood can flow in during sexual stimulation. The tablet blocks PDE5, which helps maintain the blood flow needed for an erection.

Avanair 200 mg Tablet is the higher-strength option in this brand line, with the same active ingredient as Avanair 100 mg Tablet but at a stronger dose. Because of that, it is generally reserved for men whose doctor has decided a higher avanafil dose is appropriate after considering response and side effects. Some people may notice a stronger effect, but this higher strength can also increase the chance of side effects, so it should not be chosen on your own.
