Below: what avanafil is, where it is priced, how it compares with Viagra on the label, and the cheaper generics most men are offered instead. We give no doses. Your prescriber picks the drug and the strength.
What Stendra is
Stendra is the brand name for avanafil. It is an FDA-approved ED pill from the same family as sildenafil and tadalafil. The label states: "STENDRA is a prescription medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men." (DailyMed: Stendra label, read 14 November 2026)
It is the newest of the four common ED pills. The label's first page says "Initial U.S. Approval: 2012" (Stendra label). Sildenafil was approved in 1998.
Is there a generic avanafil?
Yes. DailyMed lists a generic avanafil tablet made by Camber. Its label says "Avanafil tablets may be taken with or without food." (DailyMed: avanafil label, read 14 November 2026) A generic must hold the same active drug as the brand. The FDA says "Generic drugs are FDA-approved copies of brand drugs." (FDA: generic drugs Q&A)
A generic existing does not make it cheap or easy to find. Fewer makers means less price competition than for sildenafil, which many companies make.

Stendra price: what sellers publish
We looked for avanafil at every program we track and at the one cash pharmacy that publishes a full list. Here is what we found.
| Seller | Avanafil price | What it is | Read | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RedBox Rx (not scored) | "$40 per tablet (with minimum 20-tablet order)" | Generic avanafil, free online consult per its page | 14 Nov 2026 | RedBox Rx |
| Cost Plus Drugs | Not on its price list | Pharmacy only, needs your own prescription | 14 Nov 2026 | Cost Plus Drugs price list |
| The programs we score | None lists avanafil | 14 Nov 2026 | ED price page | |
| Closest product we track: Strut Health | $1.60 a dose | Generic sildenafil, not avanafil. FDA-approved | Per its review | Strut Health review |
RedBox Rx says its avanafil needs a minimum order, so the first bill is the per-tablet price times 20. It also says "Free telehealth consult." on the same page. Local pharmacies price brand Stendra and generic avanafil at the counter, by store. Coupon sites block automated readers, so we cannot date one of their figures. Ask your pharmacy for the cash price by strength and count.
Stendra vs Viagra
The main label difference is timing. The Stendra label says it "should be taken orally as needed as early as approximately 15 minutes before sexual activity" (Stendra label). The Viagra patient guide says "Take VIAGRA about 1 hour before sexual activity." (DailyMed: Viagra label)
| Avanafil (Stendra) | Sildenafil (Viagra) | |
|---|---|---|
| FDA-approved for ED | Yes | Yes |
| Label timing | As early as about 15 minutes before sex | About 1 hour before sex |
| Food | With or without food | A high fat meal slows it |
| Nitrate warning | Yes | Yes |
| Generic sold widely online | No | Yes |
| Lowest price we can read | See the table above | $1.60 a dose |
Sources: the Stendra label and the Viagra label, read 14 November 2026.
Neither label claims to beat the other. Each drug was tested against a dummy pill, not head to head. Both share the same top warning. The Stendra guide says "Do not take STENDRA if you take any medicines called nitrates." Nitrates are heart drugs such as nitroglycerin, and with any ED pill they can drop blood pressure sharply.
The most common side effects on the Stendra label include headache, flushing, a stuffy nose and back pain. Our ED pill side effects guide covers sildenafil and tadalafil.
Why most programs offer sildenafil or tadalafil instead
Cost and supply. Generic sildenafil and tadalafil are made by many companies and sell for cents a tablet at a cash pharmacy. Every program we track carries one or both. Avanafil has fewer makers and a much higher price. Vardenafil, the generic of Levitra, is another option; see our vardenafil cost guide.
Some men still ask for avanafil, often because they want a pill that can start sooner. That is a fair question for a prescriber. If a program does not carry it, you can ask your own doctor for a prescription and price it at a local pharmacy.
These are the per-dose prices for the two common generics, read on each program's own page:
| Program | Generic sildenafil, per dose | Generic tadalafil, per dose | Visit included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strut Health | $1.60 | $2.40 | Yes |
| Rex MD | $1.80 | $6 | Yes |
| Ro | $4 | $11 | Yes |

Questions
FAQ
stendra (avanafil) cost and where to get it online
None of the programs we score lists avanafil, and Cost Plus Drugs did not carry it on 14 November 2026. RedBox Rx lists generic avanafil per tablet with a 20-tablet minimum, read the same day. Local pharmacies price it at the counter. Generic sildenafil is far cheaper, from $1.60 a dose online.
What is avanafil?
Avanafil is an FDA-approved ED pill sold under the brand name Stendra. It works like sildenafil and tadalafil, by helping blood flow when you are aroused. Its label says it can be taken as early as about 15 minutes before sex, with or without food. A prescription is required.
What is the Stendra price?
No program we score publishes a Stendra price, and coupon sites block automated readers. The one dated figure we found is RedBox Rx's per-tablet price for generic avanafil, in the table above, read 14 November 2026. Brand Stendra usually costs more than the generic. Ask a pharmacy for its cash price.
Stendra vs Viagra: which is faster?
On the labels, Stendra can be taken as early as about 15 minutes before sex, while Viagra is taken about an hour before. Neither label claims Stendra works better, because each was tested against a dummy pill. Viagra's generic, sildenafil, costs far less and is sold by nearly every online program.
Is there a generic for Stendra?
Yes. DailyMed lists a generic avanafil tablet from Camber, and the FDA approves generics as copies of the brand. Few sellers stock it so far. RedBox Rx lists generic avanafil on its own page, and none of the programs we score sells it.
Does insurance cover Stendra?
Rarely. Medicare Part D excludes drugs used for ED by law, and many private plans limit ED coverage too. Our guide on ED medication and insurance covers the rules. Cash prices for generic sildenafil or tadalafil are often lower than a copay. To compare every program's all-in price, open our ED price page or our best ED programs.
