AVANA-100 (Avanafil, manufactured by Sunrise Remedies) is a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It helps to relax muscles and increase blood flow to the penis. Increased blood flow to the penis combined with sexual stimulation can help male patients to achieve and maintain an erection.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:

AVANA-100 comes in the form of 100mg tablets. The recommended starting dose is 100 mg. AVANA-100 should be taken orally as needed as early as approximately 15 minutes before sexual activity.

Based on individual efficacy and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 200 mg taken as early as approximately 15 minutes before sexual activity, or decreased to 50 mg taken approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity. The lowest dose that provides benefit should be used.

The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day. Sexual stimulation is required for a response to treatment.
