FAQs

Avanafil frequently asked questions

Avanafil may not be suitable for everyone, particularly if you have certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, liver problems, or are taking medications such as nitrates or alpha-blockers. It is important to disclose your full medical history during your consultation so a clinician can assess whether Avanafil is safe for you. Never start treatment without proper medical advice.

You can drink a small amount of alcohol while taking Avanafil, but it is best to limit your intake. Drinking too much alcohol can make it harder to achieve or maintain an erection and may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, headache or low blood pressure.

Yes, Avanafil can be taken with or without food. However, very heavy or high-fat meals may slightly delay how quickly it starts to work. For faster onset, some people prefer to take it on an empty stomach or after a light meal.

Avanafil usually starts working within 15 to 30 minutes. However, it will not cause an erection on its own. Sexual stimulation is still required for it to be effective. Its effects can last for up to 6 hours.

Sexual stimulation is still required for it to be effective. If Avanafil does not provide the desired results, speak to your GP or pharmacist, as a different dose or alternative treatment may be more suitable.
