Avana 200 mg is a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction. As with any medication, there can be contraindications and precautions to consider before use. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication, including Avana 200 mg. Some contraindications and precautions may include:
- Allergies: Individuals who are allergic to Avanafil or any of the inactive ingredients in Avana 200 mg should not take this medication.
- Cardiovascular Conditions: Avana 200 mg can cause a sudden decrease in blood pressure, particularly if taken with other medications that lower blood pressure or with alcohol. It should be used cautiously in individuals with heart disease, stroke, or other cardiovascular conditions.
- Liver or Kidney Problems: People with severe liver or kidney impairment may need dosage adjustments or should avoid Avana 200 mg altogether.
- Nitrate Medications: Avanafil, the active ingredient in Avana, can interact with nitrate medications, such as nitroglycerin, used to treat chest pain (angina) and other heart conditions. Combining Avana with nitrates can cause a severe drop in blood pressure, leading to fainting, dizziness, or even a heart attack.
- Alpha-Blockers: Avana 200 mg should not be taken with alpha-blockers, medications commonly used to treat high blood pressure and prostate enlargement, as they can also cause a significant drop in blood pressure.
- Hypotension: Individuals with low blood pressure (hypotension) should use Avana 200 mg with caution due to the potential for further lowering of blood pressure.
- Vision Problems: Some people may experience changes in vision while taking Avana 200 mg. If you have a history of vision problems or experience sudden vision loss while taking this medication, seek medical attention immediately.
- Peyronie's Disease: Avana 200 mg should be used with caution in individuals with Peyronie's disease or anatomical deformation of the penis, as it may increase the risk of complications.
