Erectile Dysfunction: Here are some other options.
Injectable treatment that works from 5 minutes. Good option if tablets haven't worked for you.
Comes as an on-demand pill that lasts for 36 hours, or as a daily dose that's active all the time.
Lower dose pill. Better option if you're older or have a pre-existing condition like diabetes.
Like Viagra, but cheaper and works in the same way. Non-branded version of the original ED drug.
Like Cialis, but without the branding (so it's cheaper). 'Weekend' and daily options available.
Non-branded version of Levitra. Works in the same way, but cheaper.
The one you've heard of. Works in 30-60 minutes and lasts for up to 5 hours.
Cream that you apply to the tip of the penis and works from 5 minutes.

Spedra is an ED medication that works a bit like Viagra โ only faster.
The active ingredient in Spedra is avanafil, which relaxes your blood vessels and helps circulation to your penis. This makes it easier to get and maintain a firm erection, but youโll still need to be aroused for the medication to work.
Spedra kicks in quickly and stays effective for up to 5 hours. That means you donโt have to worry about picking the perfect time to take it.
Spedra is in the same family of medicines as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. Theyโre called PDE5 inhibitors and they do what it says on the tin: inhibit an enzyme called PDE5. In other words, they help the blood vessels in your body relax, so blood can get to where you need it most. The end result is a firm erection.
Like other erectile dysfunction medications, Spedra only helps with the physical part of sex. You still need to be turned on for it to work.
Sometimes medications have different names in different countries. In the USA, paracetamol is called acetaminophen, and Spedra is called Stendra.
Both Spedra and Stendra are made by Menarini, contain avanafil and come in the same doses. The one youโll be prescribed depends on where you live. For the UK, thatโll be Spedra.

Spedra 100 mg tablets - Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) - (emc). [online]ย
Take Spedra by mouth, with water, 15-30 minutes before you have sex. Itโll usually take around 15 minutes to become effective.
Your Spedra prescription comes with a package insert that contains everything you need to know about this medication. Itโs important to give it a read-over before taking your first pill, and you should always take it as instructed. Donโt exceed the Spedra dosage recommended for you by our clinician.
Spedra comes in three doses: 50mg, 100mg and 200mg.
Some men who take 50mg find it takes longer to work, or that they donโt stay hard for long enough. On the flip side, some men who take 100mg or 200mg experience side effects. We usually recommend starting with the lowest dose that the doctor thinks will be effective, and adjusting based on how it works for you.
Weโll help you find the Spedra dose thatโs right for you. Let our clinician know if itโs your first time taking Spedra or if youโve tried it before so they can make the best recommendation. Medical conditions and lifestyle can impact the dose too. (Weโll ask about those before you get your prescription.)
It can take a couple of attempts to work. But you shouldnโt take a second or third pill right away if youโre unable to get an erection after taking the first. Always leave at least 24 hours between pills.
If youโre not getting the results you want with Spedra, talk to us. Sometimes itโs a matter of adjusting the dose, other times itโs best to try a new ED medication altogether. Weโll work with you to find that perfect balance: effective medication with few (or no) side effects.
