Clear Start Assessment

Spedra is an advanced treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) containing the active ingredient avanafil, a highly selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. During sexual arousal, nitric oxide is released in the erectile tissue of the penis, activating an enzyme that increases cyclic GMP (cGMP). This leads to the relaxation of smooth muscle and enhanced blood flow, resulting in an erection. However, in men with ED, this natural process is impaired. Avanafil works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme responsible for breaking down cGMP, thereby prolonging its effects and supporting a firm and sustained erection during sexual stimulation. Spedra does not cause an erection without arousal and is not intended to increase sexual desire.

Why Choose Spedra

Spedra is one of the fastest-acting ED treatments available, with effects starting in as little as 15 minutes in some individuals. This makes it particularly suitable for men who prefer flexibility and spontaneity in their sexual routines. Unlike some older PDE5 inhibitors, Spedra is known for its selective action on the PDE5 enzyme, which may reduce the likelihood of certain side effects. It is available in 50mg, 100mg, and 200mg tablet strengths, allowing prescribers to tailor treatment based on response and tolerance. Clinical trials have demonstrated that Spedra improves erectile function across a broad range of severity, including in men with diabetes or other underlying health conditions. It also has fewer food-related restrictions, offering greater convenience in real-world use.

Important Note

Spedra is a prescription medication designed solely for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men. It should not be taken by individuals using nitrates for chest pain or those with significant cardiovascular disease. Spedra is not a hormone, aphrodisiac, or cure for ED, and will not produce results without sexual stimulation. It is not suitable for use in men under 18 or over 75 unless specifically advised by a doctor. Use only as directed, and never exceed the prescribed dose. Medical consultation is essential before starting treatment, especially if you have underlying health conditions or take other medications.

Directions

Please refer to the medication’s patient information leaflet before starting any new medication.

  • Take one tablet of Spedra around 15 to 30 minutes before sexual activity.

  • Swallow the tablet whole with water.

  • May be taken with or without food (a heavy meal may delay the effect).

  • Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period.

Avoid grapefruit juice, as it may increase the likelihood of side effects. If you miss a dose and do not plan to engage in sexual activity, do not take it later.

Store below 25°C. Keep in the original packaging and out of reach of children.
