In adults 18 years and over, the dose of Spedra is one tablet when required, around 30 minutes before sex. You should not take more than one Spedra tablet, or other erectile dysfunction treatment, in a 24-hour period.

There are three dosages of Spedra available. These are 50mg, 100mg, and 200mg tablets. The 100mg option is recommended for men beginning Spedra treatment. The other dosages are for men who find the response to the 100mg tablets either too weak or too strong.

Spedra can take as little as 15 minutes, or as long as 90 minutes, to work. This variation depends on how full the stomach is. On an empty stomach, absorption will be very fast, whilst on a full stomach it can take a while.

You should take Spedra on an empty stomach where possible. If you have recently eaten, especially if it was a large meal, this may delay the absorption of the tablet and mean it can take 60 - 90 minutes to reach its full effect.

Spedra is a much faster treatment than Viagra. Viagra must be taken 1 hour before sex, whilst Spedra can work as quickly as 15-30 minutes after consumption.

Both treatments last a similar amount of time – about 4 - 5 hours.

Note that this does not mean that you will maintain an erection for this amount of time, but that your ability to achieve and maintain an erection will be improved during this time.

Taking Spedra after a large meal can delay its effects.

Both treatments last around the same amount of time, being 4-6 hours.

Avanafil costs from £4.50 per tablet, making Spedra cheaper than Cialis, Levitra, Viagra, and Vitaros.

Trials have shown that 72% of people who used avanafil have been able to successfully engage in sexual intercourse within minutes of taking the medication.
