WHAT SPEDRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Spedra contains the active substance avanafil. It belongs to a group
of medicines called
phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Spedra is a treatment for
adult men suffering from
erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence). This is when you
cannot get, or keep a hard, erect
penis suitable for sexual activity.
Spedra works by helping the blood vessels in your penis to relax. This
increases the blood flow into
your penis, helping it stay hard and erect when you get sexually
excited. Spedra does not cure your
condition.
It is important to note that Spedra only works if you are sexually
stimulated. You and your partner will
still need to use foreplay to get ready for sex – just as you would
if you were not taking a medicine to
help you.
Spedra will not help you if you do not have erectile dysfunction.
Spedra is not for women.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE SPEDRA
DO NOT TAKE SPEDRA:

If you are allergic to avanafil or any of the other ingredients of
this medicine (listed in section 6)
•
If you are taking “nitrate” medicines for chest pain (angina),
such as amyl nitrite or glyceryl
trinitrat

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Use in adult men _
The recommended dose is 100 mg taken as needed approximately 15 to 30
minutes before sexual
activity (see section 5.1). Based on individual efficacy and
tolerability, the dose may be increased to a
maximum dose of 200 mg or decreased to 50 mg. The maximum recommended
dosing frequency is
once per day. Sexual stimulation is required for a response to
treatment.
_Special populations _
_Elderly(≥ 65 years old) _
Dose adjustments are not required in elder patients. Limited data are
available in elder patients aged
70 years or above.
_Renal impairment _
Dose adjustments are not required in patients with mild to moderate
renal impairment (creatinine
clearance ≥ 30 mL/min). Spedra is contraindicated in patients with
severe renal impairment (creatinine
clearance < 30 mL/min) (see sections 4.3 and 5.2). Patients with mild
or moderate renal impairment
(creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min but <80 mL/min) who were enrolled
in phase 3 studies showed
decreased efficacy compared to those with normal renal function.
_Hepatic impairment _
Spedra is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment
(Child Pugh class C) (see
sections 4.3 and 5.2). Patients with mild to moderate hepatic
impairment (Child-Pugh class A or B)
should initiate treatment with the minimum efficacious dose and adjust
posology based on tolerance.
