Avarante® FAQs

Question 1

What does Avarante® do?

Accepted Answer

Avarante® is a treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as erection problems (EPs). It helps adult men get and maintain an erection suitable for sex.

Question 2

What's in Avarante®?

Accepted Answer

Each Avarante® tablet contains 10mg of tadalafil, an active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction. For full details, always refer to the Patient Information Leaflet.

Question 3

How does Avarante® work?

Accepted Answer

Avarante® works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing increased blood flow during sexual arousal. This helps men with erectile dysfunction achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sex. Avarante® only works when you are sexually stimulated and does not increase sexual desire.

Question 4

How long does Avarante® take to work, and how long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Avarante® usually starts to work in as little as 30 minutes. Once active, it can remain effective for up to 36 hours. This does not mean you will have a continuous erection - it means you may be able to achieve an erection during this time when sexually aroused.

Question 5

When should I take Avarante®?

Accepted Answer

Take Avarante® at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Swallow the tablet whole with water. It can be taken with or without food but avoid excessive alcohol as this may reduce effectiveness.

Question 6

How often can I take Avarante®?

Accepted Answer

You should only take 1 Avarante® tablet within a 36-hour period. Avarante® is not intended for continuous daily use. If you feel you need it frequently, such as twice a week or more, speak to your pharmacist or GP about suitable treatment options.

Question 7

Is Avarante® suitable for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Avarante® is considered generally well tolerated for most men aged 18 and over when used correctly and following the pharmacist's advice, but it may cause side effects. However, it is not suitable for men with certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, or those taking specific medications such as nitrates. For full details, always refer to the Patient Information Leaflet.

Question 8

What are the side effects of Avarante®?

Accepted Answer

Like all medicines, Avarante® can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. The most common side effects include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, and pain in the arms or legs. These effects are usually mild or moderate. If you experience side effects, speak to your pharmacist or GP. You can also report them via the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme. For full details, always refer to the Patient Information Leaflet.

Question 9

Can I take Avarante® with other medicines?

Accepted Answer

Some medicines are not suitable to be taken with Avarante®. Always tell your pharmacist about any medicines or supplements you are taking before using Avarante®, especially treatments for chest pain or heart conditions.

Question 10

Can I take Avarante® with alcohol or grapefruit juice?

Accepted Answer

Avarante® should be taken with water. Drinking alcohol may reduce its effectiveness and make it harder to get or maintain an erection. Grapefruit juice is also not recommended, as it may interfere with how the medicine works.

Question 11

What should I do if I've taken more than 1 tablet?

Accepted Answer

If you accidentally take more than one Avarante® tablet within 24 hours, seek medical advice. Taking too much may increase the risk of side effects such as headaches, dizziness, or prolonged erections.

Question 12

What if Avarante® doesn't work?

Accepted Answer

Avarante® should work the first or second time you try it. If it does not help after several attempts, speak to your pharmacist or GP. ED may be linked to underlying health conditions or lifestyle factors, and alternative treatments may be available.

Question 13

What is the difference between Avarante® and Viagra Connect®?

Accepted Answer

Avarante® and Viagra Connect® are both EP treatments made by the same manufacturer, but they contain different active ingredients. One of the differences is the duration of action. Viagra Connect® contains sildenafil and typically lasts up to 4 hours. Avarante® contains tadalafil and can last up to 36 hours, offering a longer window of effectiveness and more flexibility around sexual activity.

Question 14

Where can I buy Avarante®?

Accepted Answer

Avarante® is available over the counter in the UK without a prescription. You can buy it online through the official Viagra Connect® website and approved UK online pharmacy partners, or from a UK-registered pharmacy on the high street. The process is simple. Whether you buy online or in-store, you will complete a short pharmacist suitability check to make sure Avarante® is appropriate for you. This usually involves answering a few health questions before your order is approved. Always buy Avarante® from a regulated UK pharmacy to ensure you receive genuine medication, safe dispensing, and professional pharmacist support.

Question 15

Can I get Avarante® without seeing a doctor first?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Avarante® is available without a prescription in the UK. You will need to complete a short consultation questionnaire, where a UK-registered pharmacist will check your suitability based on your health and any medicines you are taking. It is also important to have a GP health check as soon as possible within 6 months of your first purchase to ensure that your erection problems are not caused by a serious health condition.

Question 16

Can women take Avarante®?

Accepted Answer

No. Avarante® is only licensed for men aged 18 and over with erectile dysfunction and is not suitable for use by women.
