New Drug for Erectile Dysfunction

The FDA has now added another medication to help men suffering from erectile dysfunction.  The medication, Avanafil, now becomes the fifth FDA-approved branded oral drug for ED. The others are tadalafil (Cialis, Eli Lily), vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn, Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals), and sildenafil (Viagra, Pfizer).

Per their report, the medication is quite similar in its effect to Viagra and Levitra in length of action and dosing. 

Here is to hope that the medication will help lower the cost for these medications.
