Avanafil, like other erectile dysfunction medications, can cause side effects. Headache is the most frequently reported, often mild and transient. Drink plenty of water and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen if needed.
Facial flushing, a reddening of the skin, is another common side effects. This usually subsides on its own. Staying hydrated can help. Avoid alcohol, as it can exacerbate flushing.
Nasal congestion is possible. Saline nasal spray can provide relief. If congestion is severe or persistent, consult your doctor.
Some men experience back pain, typically mild and short-lived. Rest and over-the-counter pain relievers may help.
Muscle aches are another potential side effect, often resolving without intervention. Gentle stretching or light exercise might offer comfort.
Visual disturbances, such as blurred vision or changes in color perception, are less common but require attention. Avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision returns to normal. Report any persistent visual issues to your physician immediately.
Rarely, dizziness or nausea might occur. These side effects usually pass quickly. If symptoms are severe, contact your doctor.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions and report any concerning side effects immediately. They can provide tailored advice and adjustments to your treatment plan.
