What is Avarante®?
Avarante® is a treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) in men aged 18 and over. It contains tadalafil 10mg, a clinically proven medicine that helps improve erections by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation.Avarante® is supplied in the UK through registered pharmacies, following a short medical checklist to ensure it is appropriate for use.Because tadalafil works for up to 36 hours it is sometimes referred to as the "weekend tablet".
How Avarante® can help
Avarante® is used to support men who experience difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. It works by enhancing the body's natural response to sexual stimulation rather than acting as an artificial trigger for arousal.
When a man becomes sexually aroused, Avarante® helps relax blood vessels in the penis, allowing increased blood flow that supports an erection that it is firm enough for sex.
Avarante® is effective for up to 36 hours so you and your partner can choose when to have sex.
This flexibility is one of the main reasons men choose tadalafil-based treatments.
