AVANAFIL
Avanafil is a medication used for adult men who experience erectile dysfunction. It helps patients achieve an erection by facilitating blood flow into the penis during sexual activity. This drug belongs to a class of medications known as PDE5 inhibitors and is prescribed to help manage the physical symptoms of this condition.
How AVANAFIL Works
Avanafil works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which normally breaks down a substance called cGMP in the penis. By preventing this breakdown, the drug enhances the effects of nitric oxide released during sexual stimulation, leading to smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow. Because it targets the natural chemical response to arousal, the medication requires sexual stimulation to produce an effect.
