Avana 200 mg (Avanafil) – Product Description
Avana 200 mg is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains 200 mg of Avanafil, a potent phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. Avanafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping to achieve and maintain an erection. Compared to other PDE5 inhibitors, Avanafil has a faster onset of action, making it a preferred choice for many men seeking a reliable solution for ED.
