F<\/span>ast-acting and long-lasting, Stendra is a popular choice among men looking for ways to overcome their symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Introduced in 2012, the medication’s active ingredient is avanafil.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Introduced to U.S. consumers in 2012, Stendra (avanafil) is the most recent addition to the family of oral erectile dysfunction drugs now on the market. In the time it has been available to U.S. consumers, it has managed to gain a number of loyal followers. And with good reason.<\/p>\n

It works quickly, more rapidly than some other well-known ED medications, and it offers the same benefits that men have come to rely on from the marvels of modern erection health science.<\/p>\n

Problems achieving and maintaining an erection may be mild, moderate, or more extreme. Some men may experience softer erections than usual, while others may be unable to achieve an erection at all.<\/p>\n

Medications such Stendra intercede to help make erections stronger and more dependable. If you and your doctor believe it\u2019s right for you, here\u2019s what you may expect:<\/p>\n

Available in Three Dosage Strengths<\/h3>\n

Stendra offers three different levels of medication, which help men with varying types and degrees of erection health problems. The football-shaped tablet comes in 50- , 100-, and 200-milligram strengths, and one of these may be just right for you.<\/p>\n

The lowest dosage is what Auxilium Pharmaceuticals<\/a>, the makers of Stendra, recommend as a starting point. A higher dosage than 50 milligrams might be necessary, but your doctor will probably start you at the low end. If that doesn\u2019t have the effect you\u2019re after, he can step you up to the next higher dose.<\/p>\n

WebMD<\/a> explains that in clinical trials, 57 percent of men with general erection difficulties who took Stendra achieved an erection firm enough for sex. In men whose diabetes was related to erection difficulties, 40 percent saw a marked improvement.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Worry About Timing with Meals<\/h3>\n

Eat and drink what you like; Stendra will work.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Stendra may be taken with food or without it. There are no known foods that interfere with its absorption or effectiveness, so you don\u2019t have to plan a meal or snack around your sexual activity. You should, however, limit your alcohol intake. This is the same with any ED medication.<\/p>\n

Three or fewer glasses of wine or straight shots of liquor are permissible, but more than that can cause unpleasant or dangerous side effects. These include headache, dizziness, a higher heart rate, or an unsafe drop in blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Take Stendra Shortly Before Sex<\/h3>\n

Stendra should be taken approximately 30 minutes prior to sexual activity to give the drug time to become effective in the body. WebMD says its effectiveness was sometimes apparent as soon as 15 minutes during clinical trials.<\/p>\n

Although Stendra works quickly, that doesn\u2019t mean it leaves your system as fast. You should not take this medication more than once a day, even if you think too much time has passed. Many men have experienced erections as much as six to eight hours after taking a dose.<\/p>\n

Like most other PDE5 inhibitors, this is not a magic pill that induces or causes an erection to happen. Sexual stimulation is a necessary component in achieving an erection. Men with low libido may still have difficulty if stimulation isn\u2019t possible.<\/p>\n

Possible Interactions, Complications<\/h3>\n
\"Trustworthy
Don’t be shy. Your doctor has heard it all before.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some medications interfere with Stendra. Also, Stendra may alter the way other medications work. For this reason, always tell your doctor about which medications you take.<\/p>\n

Nitrates and Stendra are a dangerous combination. If you take nitrates, Stendra is not safe, the same as with other ED medications.<\/p>\n

Nitrates are sometimes prescribed for patients with chest pain or angina. Combining these two drugs can lead to a sudden and dangerous drop in blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, heart attack, or stroke.<\/p>\n

Other drugs that your doctor should know about are HIV protease inhibitors, certain antibiotics, alpha-blockers, high blood pressure treatments, and other ED medications. To be on the safe side, tell your doctor about all drugs — prescription or over-the-counter — that you take.<\/p>\n

Rare But Dangerous Side Effects<\/h3>\n

Dangerous side effects are very rare, but as with all medications, you need to know the risks. Most men can take Stendra with minimal side effects, or none at all.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve likely seen or heard commercials that say any erection lasting more than four hours should be treated as an emergency. This is because a very rare but dangerous condition called priaprism might occur.<\/p>\n

Priaprism can cause permanent damage to the penis. According to the Mayo Clinic<\/a> when blood enters the penis during an erection, it becomes temporarily trapped. This is a normal, healthy function, and is what creates a firm erection. But this blood does not stay oxygenated.<\/p>\n

If blood is trapped too long, the lack of oxygen can damage or even destroy tissue in the penis, which can cause serious erection difficulties in the future and even disfigurement.<\/p>\n

A sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes is also quite rare but requires immediate medical attention. A condition called nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or NAION, might exist.<\/p>\n

Stendra gives you another choice, and choice is a good thing. If one medication worked for everyone in every situation, there wouldn\u2019t be a need for more.<\/p>\n

You can start taking control of your erection health by making an appointment with your doctor. It\u2019s not a comfortable topic for most men, but you can rest assured that this will not be the first, or the last, time he has helped a patient with a similar situation.<\/p>\n

Because erectile health issues can be indicators of other health problems, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, your doctor may perform tests and ask questions. This is standard procedure, so don\u2019t be alarmed.<\/p>\n

Chances are, Stendra will work for you.<\/p>\n
