What people report to the FDA about avanafil
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 89 reports naming avanafil, and the FDA flagged 89% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- eye inflammation12 reports
- bladder cancer10 reports
- paraesthesia7 reports
- syncope4 reports
- acute kidney injury3 reports
- asthenia3 reports
- circulatory collapse3 reports
- contraindicated product administered3 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean avanafil caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take avanafil with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run avanafil against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What forms does avanafil come in?
Across the brands we track, avanafil is currently marketed as tablet, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic avanafil?
We do not currently list a generic-labelled avanafil product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
