Spedra Tablets

​What is Spedra?

Spedra is one of the more recent treatments used for erectile dysfunction. It contains the active ingredient Avanafil, which belongs to the same class of drugs as Viagra (Sildenafil), Cialis (Tadalafil) and Levitra (Vardenafil). They are known as PDE-5 inhibitors.

How does Spedra work?

When a man is sexually aroused, the brain causes the release of a messenger called cGMP. cGMP relaxes smooth muscle in the penis, allowing more blood to flow into the penis, causing an erection. PDE-5 is an enzyme that breaks down cGMP. Spedra works by stopping PDE-5 so that cGMP is not broken down. This means that more cGMP is available to circulate and cause an erection. Spedra will only work where there is sexual arousal. 

How long does Spedra take to work?

Spedra is quick acting and can take effect in as quick as 15 minutes if taken on an empty stomach. The time taken for Spedra to work is affected by food and it is best taken on an empty stomach, or atleast 2 hours after food. Its average time to action when taken in optimal conditions, is around 15-30 minutes, however, this can vary upon the individual. It is the fastest acting ED tablet available.

How long does Spedra work for?
