Avanafil is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. It works faster than other oral erectile dysfunction medications, with many men achieving better erections within just 15 minutes. Avanafil relaxes the blood vessels, which increases blood flow to the penis, helping it stay hard and erect when you become sexually aroused. As with other erectile dysfunction medications, Avanafil only works if you are sexually stimulated. You and your partner will still need foreplay to prepare for sex, just as you would without the medication. The effects generally last for about 4 to 5 hours, but this does not mean you will have a constant erection for this duration.
