What is Stendra (avanafil) and how does it work?

Stendra is the brand name for avanafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It is FDA-approved to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. Like other PDE5 inhibitors, avanafil improves blood flow to the penis when a man is sexually aroused, helping him get and keep an erection. It only works with sexual stimulation.

One thing that sets avanafil apart is its fast onset: depending on the dose, it can be taken as soon as about 15 to 30 minutes before sexual activity. Stendra is not approved for use in women, and unlike some other drugs in its class it is not approved to treat pulmonary hypertension. Always take it exactly as your provider directs.

Stendra cost: manufacturer savings card vs. Rx.com cash coupon

The maker of Stendra runs an official manufacturer savings program, described on the brand's website at stendra.com. Manufacturer copay cards like this are generally limited to people with commercial (private) insurance, and the terms, eligibility, and expiration vary and can change, so read the current details before you rely on one. These cards typically cannot be used if you are uninsured or covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or another government program.

That is where the free Rx.com cash coupon helps. It is a cash-price discount, so it works for people who are uninsured, on Medicare, or whose commercial copay card is declined or has run out. You simply show the coupon at the pharmacy instead of running the claim through insurance. The biggest savings lever, though, is the generic: an FDA-approved generic avanafil is now marketed in the US, and asking your prescriber and pharmacist about the generic is usually the single best way to lower your out-of-pocket cost.

How Stendra compares to other ED medications

Stendra belongs to the same PDE5-inhibitor family as several other well-known ED treatments. They all improve blood flow with sexual stimulation, but they differ in how fast they start working and how long they last:

• avanafil — the generic form of Stendra itself, and typically the lowest-cost way to get this exact medicine.
• sildenafil (brand Viagra) — the original PDE5 inhibitor, taken before activity.
• tadalafil (brand Cialis) — known for a longer duration of action.
• vardenafil — another short-acting option.

There is no single "best" ED drug for everyone; the right choice depends on how quickly you want it to work, how long you want the effect to last, your other medicines, and your health history. Talk with your provider about which option fits you. This is general information, not medical advice.

Stendra safety: important warnings and interactions

Do not take Stendra with any form of nitrate medicine (such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide) or with riociguat (a guanylate cyclase stimulator). Combining them can cause a severe, potentially fatal drop in blood pressure. Use caution if you take alpha-blockers or other blood-pressure medicines, because avanafil can add to their blood-pressure-lowering effect. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (for example ketoconazole or ritonavir) can raise avanafil levels, so your dose may need to be lowered or the drug avoided. Limit alcohol, which can worsen these effects.

Seek emergency care for an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism). Rare but serious side effects reported with PDE5 inhibitors include a sudden decrease or loss of vision (NAION) and sudden hearing loss — stop the drug and get medical help if these occur. Because sexual activity puts extra demand on the heart, men with cardiovascular disease should check with a provider before use. Tell your prescriber about all your medicines and conditions. This is not medical advice; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what is safe for you.
