Avana 100 mg, containing avanafil, is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis. However, caution is needed when combining Avana 100 mg with alpha-blockers, a class of drugs often prescribed for high blood pressure or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Who is contraindicated?

Men who are currently taking alpha-blockers—especially those that lower blood pressure significantly—should avoid using Avana 100 mg without medical supervision. Combining these medications can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure (hypotension), leading to dizziness, fainting, or even heart complications.

Specifically, individuals who:

Take alpha-blockers such as doxazosin, terazosin, prazosin, or tamsulosin.

Have a history of low blood pressure or cardiovascular problems.

Experience symptoms like dizziness or fainting when standing.

It is essential to consult a healthcare provider before using Avana 100 mg if you are on alpha-blockers. Your doctor may adjust the dose, suggest an alternative treatment, or closely monitor your blood pressure to avoid adverse effects.

Never combine Avana 100 mg and alpha-blockers without medical advice to ensure safe and effective treatment of ED.
