What is Avarante?
Avarante is a treatment for adult men who have erection problems (erectile dysfunction). This is when a man cannot get or keep an erection hard enough for satisfactory sexual activity.
Avarante contains the active substance tadalafil. It belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.
It works by helping the blood vessels in your penis to relax, allowing the flow of blood into your penis.
It is important to know that you will not get an erection just by taking Avarante. This medicine works with your body’s natural function to get an erection only when you are sexually stimulated.
Is Avarante right for me?
This treatment may be right for you as long as you are not taking any medicines that may interact with tadalafil, or suffer from any health conditions that may affect its suitability.
Talk to your doctor about alternative treatments and do not take this medicine if any of the following applies to you:
If you are allergic or sensitive to tadalafil or any of the other ingredients listed on the pack.
If you are taking any medicines known as nitrates (including “poppers”).
If you are currently taking any medicine (guanylate cyclase stimulators, such as riociguat) to treat high blood pressure in the lungs.
If you are currently taking ritonavir or other medicines to treat HIV.
If you have ever had a loss of vision due to optic nerve damage or inherited eye disease, such as retinitis pigmentosa.
If you have low blood pressure or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
If you have problems with your liver, heart, or blood vessels, or if you’ve been advised to avoid sexual activity for health reasons.
If you have a deformity of your penis, such as Peyronie’s Disease.
If you have ever had an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism), or have a condition that may cause this, such as sickle cell anemia, leukemia, or multiple myeloma.
If you are taking other treatments for erectile dysfunction.
If you have recently had major pelvic surgery or prostate surgery involving nerve damage.
If you are under 18 years of age.
If you are a woman.
You should only use this treatment if you suffer from erection problems and have been assessed as suitable for sexual activity by your doctor.
