Avaforce 100 mg – Product Description
Avaforce 100 mg is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains the active ingredient Avanafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. This enhanced blood flow helps men achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. Manufactured by Centurion Laboratories, Avaforce 100mg is known for its rapid onset and effectiveness in treating ED.
How Avaforce 100 mg Works
Avanafil, the active component in Avaforce 100 mg, inhibits the PDE5 enzyme, which is responsible for the degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the corpus cavernous of the penis. By inhibiting PDE5, Avanafil increases the levels of cGMP, leading to the relaxation of smooth muscles and dilation of blood vessels in the penis. This process allows for increased blood flow, facilitating an erection when combined with sexual stimulation.
