Source: FDA, National Drug Code (US)  Revision Year: 2023 

1. Indications and Usage

STENDRA is a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult males.

2. Dosage and Administration

2.1 Erectile Dysfunction

The recommended starting dose is 100 mg. STENDRA should be taken orally as needed as early as approximately 15 minutes before sexual activity.

Based on individual efficacy and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 200 mg taken as early as approximately 15 minutes before sexual activity, or decreased to 50 mg taken approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity. The lowest dose that provides benefit should be used.

The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day. Sexual stimulation is required for a response to treatment.

2.2 Use with Food

STENDRA may be taken with or without food.

2.3 Concomitant Medications

Nitrates:

Concomitant use of nitrates in any form is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4.1)].

Alpha-Blockers

If STENDRA is co-administered with an alpha-blocker, patients should be stable on alpha-blocker therapy prior to initiating treatment with STENDRA, and STENDRA should be initiated at the 50 mg dose [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6), Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].

CYP3A4 Inhibitors

  • For patients taking concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (including ketoconazole, ritonavir, atazanavir, clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, nefazodone, nelfinavir, saquinavir and telithromycin), do not use STENDRA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Drug Interactions (7.2)].
  • For patients taking concomitant moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (including erythromycin, amprenavir, aprepitant, diltiazem, fluconazole, fosamprenavir, and verapamil), the maximum recommended dose of STENDRA is 50 mg, not to exceed once every 24 hours [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Drug Interactions (7.2)].

10. Overdosage

Single doses up to 800 mg have been given to healthy subjects, and multiple doses up to 300 mg have been given to patients. In cases of overdose, standard supportive measures should be adopted as required. Renal dialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance because avanafil is highly bound to plasma proteins and is not significantly eliminated in the urine.

16.2. Storage and Handling

Recommended Storage: Store at 20-25°C (68-77°F); excursions permitted, 15-30°C (59-86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].
