Spedra
"One of the faster-acting erectile dysfunction (ED) treatments. For firmer, longer-lasting erections when you’re sexually aroused."
What is Spedra?
Spedra is one of the faster-acting erectile dysfunction treatments you can get. And its effects can last for up to 4 hours.
How does it work?
Spedra helps you to get firmer, longer-lasting erections when you’re sexually aroused. It contains the active ingredient avanafil.
Like all erectile dysfunction treatments, Spedra tablets won’t resolve any underlying physical cause of your ED or increase the intensity of sexual desire.
How to use Spedra
Take one tablet 15-30 minutes before having sex. Don’t combine Spedra with other ED medications and never take more than one tablet inside 24 hours.
Spedra works best on an empty stomach or after eating a low-fat meal. It also becomes less effective when you drink alcohol. Also avoid grapefruit juice for 24 hours before you take Spedra.
Treatment results
Spedra 100mg treats ED effectively in 58% of cases and for most men it acts quicker than other ED treatments. You may find it’s less effective or takes longer to work if you’ve eaten a large meal or drunk more than 1-2 units of alcohol.
Before you consider a higher dose or look at other options, we recommend you try an ED treatment on at least eight separate occasions.
Side effects of Spedra
It’s not common to get side effects from Spedra, but for some men these can include:
- Facial flushing
- Headache
- Light-headedness
- Nasal or sinus congestion
- Indigestion
- Racing heartbeat (palpitations)
- Blurred vision
For full details of side effects and correct use, please see the Spedra patient information leaflet. And if you’re worried about side effects, please contact us in your Patient Record.
