VIAGRA CONNECT 50mg
film-coated tablets

INDICATION

VIAGRA CONNECT is indicated in adult men with erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. In order for VIAGRA CONNECT to be effective, sexual stimulation is required.

KEY FEATURES1
  • VIAGRA CONNECT can start to work in as little as 25 minutes. Customers who favour fast onset of action may benefit from using VIAGRA CONNECT as no pill works faster for ED

  • VIAGRA CONNECT is effective up to 4 hours after administration

  • VIAGRA CONNECT is suitable for daily use, if required

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION

The recommended dose is one 50mg tablet taken with water approximately one hour before sexual activity. If VIAGRA CONNECT is taken with food, the onset of activity may be delayed compared to the fasted state.

Patients should be advised that they may need to take VIAGRA CONNECT a number of times on different occasions (a maximum of one 50mg tablet per day), before they can achieve a penile erection satisfactory for sexual activity. If after several attempts on different dosing occasions patients are still not able to achieve a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity, they should be advised to consult a doctor.

The maximum recommended dose frequency is once per day.

VIAGRA CONNECT MELTS 50mg
orodispersible films

INDICATION

Indicated in adult men with erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. In order for VIAGRA CONNECT Melts to be effective, sexual stimulation is required.

KEY FEATURES2
  • VIAGRA CONNECT Melts contains sildenafil. Patients may perceive this format to be less medicinal than a tablet

  • Melts on the tongue in seconds

  • Pleasant mint taste

  • Portable, discreet and easy to use, and can be taken without water

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION

VIAGRA CONNECT Melts should be taken as needed approximately one hour before sexual activity. The recommended dose is one 50mg film taken on an empty stomach as concomitant intake with food delays absorption and delays the effect of the orodispersible film.

Orodispersible films can be taken with or without water.

Patients should be advised that they may need to take VIAGRA CONNECT Melts a number of times on different occasions (a maximum of one 50mg film per day), before they can achieve a penile erection satisfactory for sexual activity. If after several attempts on different dosing occasions patients are still not able to achieve a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity, they should be advised to consult a doctor.

The maximum recommended dose frequency is once per day.

AVARANTE 10mg
film-coated tablets

INDICATION

Indicated in adult men with erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. In order for Avarante 10mg film-coated tablets to be effective, sexual stimulation is required.

KEY FEATURES3
  • AVARANTE can lead to erections for successful intercourse in as early as 30 minutes

  • AVARANTE can work for up to 36 hours after taking it. Customers may benefit from this longer window of opportunity on special occasions, such as a romantic getaway

  • Tadalafil’s rate of absorption is not affected by food

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION

The recommended dose is one 10mg tablet taken at least 30 minutes prior to anticipated sexual activity.

Avarante 10 mg film-coated tablets are not recommended for continuous daily use. Men who use this product frequently (i.e. at least twice weekly) should consult their physician to discuss whether a once daily regimen with the lowest doses of tadalafil would be more suitable.

Avarante 10 mg film-coated tablets may be taken with or without food.

The maximum dose frequency is once per day.
