Objective And Method:
In the prospective, multicentric, non-interventional AVANTI study, the selection criteria for the PDE-5 inhibitor Avanafil were evaluated and it's acceptance in the treatment of patients with erectile dysfunction was investigated. Data from 1,804 probands with an average age of 58.0 years were analyzed.
Results:
Doctors and patients most commonly referred to Avanafil as a fast-acting substance (70.6% and 78.6%, respectively). A favorable side-effect profile was more focused when the patient co-decided (62.7%) than if the doctor selected (48.4%). 41.2% of the physicians emphasized the potency, 56.7% of the patients preferred to receive a modern medicine. Doctors and patients assessed the drug as effective and well tolerated.
