Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Color discrimination: May cause dose-related impairment of color discrimination. Use caution in patients with retinitis pigmentosa; a minority have genetic disorders of retinal phosphodiesterases (no safety information available).
• Hearing loss: Sudden decrease or loss of hearing has been reported rarely; hearing changes may be accompanied by tinnitus and dizziness. A direct relationship between therapy and hearing loss has not been determined.
• Hypotension: Decreases in blood pressure may occur due to vasodilator effects; use with caution in patients with left ventricular outflow obstruction (aortic stenosis or hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy); may be more sensitive to hypotensive actions. Concurrent use with alpha-adrenergic antagonist therapy may cause symptomatic hypotension; patients should be hemodynamically stable prior to initiating therapy at the lowest possible dose. Patients should avoid or limit concurrent substantial ethanol consumption as this may increase the risk of symptomatic hypotension.
• Priapism: Painful erection >6 hours in duration has been reported (rarely). Instruct patients to seek immediate medical attention if erection persists >4 hours. Use with caution in patients who have conditions which may predispose them to priapism (sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, leukemia).
• Vision loss: Vision loss may occur rarely and be a sign of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Instruct patients to seek medical assistance for sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes. Patients who have already experienced NAION are at an increased risk of recurrence. Other risk factors for NAION include low cup-to-disc ratio (“crowded disc”), coronary artery disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, and >50 years of age. Use with caution in these patients only when the benefits outweigh the risks. Safety and efficacy were not studied in patients with known degenerative retinal disorders (eg, retinitis pigmentosa); use is not recommended.
Disease-related concerns:
• Anatomical penis deformation: Use with caution in patients with anatomical deformation of the penis (angulation, cavernosal fibrosis, or Peyronie disease).
• Bleeding disorders: Use with caution in patients with bleeding disorders; safety and efficacy have not been established.
• Cardiovascular disease: Use is not recommended in patients with hypotension (<90/50 mm Hg); uncontrolled hypertension (>170/100 mm Hg); unstable angina or angina during intercourse; life-threatening arrhythmias, stroke, MI, or coronary revascularization within the last 6 months; cardiac failure or coronary artery disease causing unstable angina. Safety and efficacy have not been studied in these patients. Use caution in patients with left ventricular outflow obstruction (eg, aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with outflow tract obstruction). There is a degree of cardiac risk associated with sexual activity; therefore, physicians may wish to consider the cardiovascular status of their patients prior to initiating any treatment for erectile dysfunction.
• Peptic ulcer disease: Use with caution in patients with active peptic ulcer disease; safety and efficacy have not been established.
Concurrent drug therapy issues:
• Nitrates: Use of avanafil is contraindicated in patients currently taking nitrate preparations. According to the manufacturer, when nitrate administration is deemed medically necessary in a life-threatening situation, may administer nitrates only if 12 hours has elapsed after avanafil use. Of note, the elimination half-life of avanafil is similar to that of sildenafil and vardenafil which both require 24 hours to elapse prior to administration of nitrates (ACCF/AHA [Anderson, 2013]; ACCF/AHA [O'Gara, 2013]).
Other warnings/precautions:
• Appropriate use: Potential underlying causes of erectile dysfunction should be evaluated prior to treatment.

Does not directly cause penile erections, but affects the response to sexual stimulation. The physiologic mechanism of erection of the penis involves release of nitric oxide (NO) in the corpus cavernosum during sexual stimulation. NO then activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase, which results in increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), producing smooth muscle relaxation and inflow of blood to the corpus cavernosum. Avanafil enhances the effect of NO by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5), which is responsible for degradation of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum; when sexual stimulation causes local release of NO, inhibition of PDE-5 by avanafil causes increased levels of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in smooth muscle relaxation and inflow of blood to the corpus cavernosum; at recommended doses, it has no effect in the absence of sexual stimulation.
