Avandra 100 mg Tablet

Avandra 100 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 100 mg of avanafil in each tablet. Avanafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. This medicine helps improve blood flow to the penis so an erection can occur with sexual stimulation. Avandra 100 mg Tablet is the higher-strength tablet in this brand line and should be used only when a clinician has determined that this dose is appropriate.

How it works: Avanafil blocks the PDE5 enzyme, which helps preserve a natural chemical signal that relaxes blood vessels in the penis. As a tablet, Avandra 100 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body before sexual activity, helping increase blood flow when you are sexually stimulated.

Avandra 100 mg Tablet provides a full 100 mg dose of avanafil in one tablet, which is stronger than Avandra 50 mg Tablet. Because it is a higher-strength option, it may be chosen for men who did not get enough benefit from a lower dose or whose doctor feels this strength is appropriate based on their health and response. Some people notice a more reliable effect, but the dose must still be individualized by a prescriber.
