What is Spedra (avanafil)? Can I get it in Singapore?

Spedra is a comparatively newer drug approved by the FDA as an effective treatment of erectile dysfunction.

It was launched in Singapore in 2020 by its manufacturer, Menarini.

Menarini is a large pharmaceutical company who are already experienced in the men’s health space with the treatment for premature ejactulation, Priligy.

Spedra contains the active ingredient Avanafil, and it comes in different doses – 50mg, 100mg and 200mg. 200mg is the most common.

In Singapore and Asia, Spedra is the trade name. Whereas in the USA, it is marketed under the brand Stentra.

Does Spedra cure erectile dysfunction?

Spedra and Viagra belong to the same group of drug class named PDE-5 inhibitors. It works by increasing the blood flow towards the penis during sexual stimulation.

Its effect can be achieved as early as 15 min and lasts 4-6 hours.

Spedra can be taken with or without food.

The recommended dosage is a single tablet of 200mg. This should be taken 15 minute before sexual activity.

If you have some liver disease or are taking some other medications, you might need a lower dose, so do seek your doctor’s advice.

The difference between Viagra and Spedra

As effective as it is to treat erectile dysfunction, Spedra actually works slightly different than Viagra.

Avanafil is a highly selective type of PDE-5 inhibitor. This means that the drug targets the organ of interest (penis) more specifically.

This results in a faster onset of erection. With Spedra, it works within 15 minute, whereas Viagra takes up to an hour.

With Spedra, you can also expect fewer side effects. PDE-5 inhibitors in general may cause some degree of headache, nasal congestion and facial flushing. But with the design of avanafil, you are less likely to experience such side effects.

Even though the maximum recommended dose of Viagra is 100mg and Spedra is 200mg, the overall enhancement in erectile performance is still similar.

How to choose between Viagra or Spedra

If you desire all things fast, then the 15min onset of Spedra is very useful.

For example, if you are a working father with kids in the house, you might need to seize the opportunity when the kids are finally away.

Also, the quick onset means you don’t have to hide in the bedroom to wait for the effects to kick in. So you can get back to keeping the mood alive.

If you are bothered by the side effects from other brands of erectile dysfunction treatment, the selective nature of Spedra might help reduce these side effects. Now you can focus on intimacy.

Still, Viagra’s long track record should be respected. So if you want something with a longer reputation, this might be your choice.
