Avanafil has an 80% success rate and works faster than others

The much anticipated Avanafil by Vivus pharmaceuticals is just a few more steps away from FDA approval, which will allow it to break into the US market. If it gets approved by the FDA and enters the US market, it can become the toughest competitor for Viagra. Currently the top contender for the little blue pill is Cialis which has a 36 hour effect on men, but it can still take up to 45 minutes to take effect. Avanafil has a head start over all 3 ED meds: Viagra Cialis and Levitra, it works in only 15 minutes.

We have been following the progress of Avanafil since it has been under development. It has passed through intense trails and tests over the past few years but is showing incredible results and a high success rate. Over 80% of men who have participated in its trials have had successful erections with it, all in fewer than 15 minutes.

Avanafil might be reaching the market by 2012. This comes in the same year that the patent for Viagra expires, which means generic Viagra will be available in the US market. However there have been rumors that Viagra might be trying to get an extension on their patent. If they fail and Avanafil hits the market in the same year the generics are released, Vivus might have trouble competing with generic manufacturers.

Avanafil should be ready by 2012 and works in 15 minutes
