Important Safety Information about
STENDRA® (avanafil)
STENDRA® (avanafil), originally launched by Auxilium
Pharmaceuticals prior to that company's sale to Endo
Pharmaceuticals, is an oral phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor
for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. STENDRA is not for use
in women or children. It is not known if STENDRA is safe and
effective in women or children under 18 years of age. A 100-mg and
200-mg tablet can be taken as early as ~15 minutes before sexual
activity. STENDRA only works with sexual stimulation and should not
be taken more than once a day. STENDRA can be taken with or without
food; do not drink too much alcohol when taking STENDRA (for
example, more than 3 glasses of wine or 3 shots of whiskey) as it
can increase chances of side effects. Of people enrolled in
clinical trials, 1.4%, 2.0%, and 2.0%, respectively, stopped taking
STENDRA (50 mg, 100 mg, or 200 mg) due to side effects compared to
1.7% on placebo. STENDRA® was designed and developed expressly for
erectile dysfunction.
STENDRA is contraindicated with any form of organic nitrates, in
patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of the
tablet, and in patients who are using a guanylate cyclase
stimulator.
Patients should not use STENDRA if sexual activity is
inadvisable due to cardiovascular status or any other reason.
Before taking STENDRA tell your doctor if you have had any kind of
heart issues including heart attack, heart failure, angina and
irregular heartbeat or have elevated or low blood pressure.
Use of STENDRA with alpha-blockers, other antihypertensives, or
substantial amounts of alcohol (greater than 3 units) may lead to
hypotension.
Patients should seek emergency treatment if an erection lasts
greater than 4 hours.
Patients should stop STENDRA and seek medical care if a sudden
loss of vision occurs in one or both eyes, which could be a sign of
Non Arteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION). Discuss with
patients the increased risk of NAION in patients with a history of
NAION.
Patients should stop taking STENDRA and seek prompt medical
attention in the event of sudden decrease or loss of hearing.
STENDRA can potentiate the hypotensive effect of nitrates, alpha
blockers, antihypertensives, and alcohol. CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g.,
ketoconazole, ritonavir, erythromycin) increase STENDRA
exposure.
Combination with Other PDE5 Inhibitors or Erectile Dysfunction
Therapies is not recommended.
The safety of STENDRA is unknown in patients with bleeding
disorders and patients with active peptic ulceration.
The use of STENDRA offers no protection against sexually
transmitted diseases including HIV. Consider counseling patients on
protective measures for sexually transmitted diseases.
The most common adverse reactions reported with use of STENDRA
include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, nasopharyngitis, and
back pain.
