Hearing impairment
Some post-marketing and clinical studies have reported cases of sudden hearing loss or impairment associated with the use of all PDE-5 inhibitors, including Vega Extra 120 Mg. Most of these patients had risk factors for sudden impairment or hearing loss. There is no causal relationship between the use of PDE-5 inhibitors and sudden hearing impairment or hearing loss. In case of sudden hearing impairment or hearing loss while taking Extra Vega, consult a doctor immediately.
Bleedings
Vegah Extra 120 Indication enhances the antiplatelet effect of sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide donator, on human platelets in vitro. Data on the safety of Vega Extra Cobra 130 Mg in patients with a tendency to bleeding or exacerbation of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer are not available, so the drug Vega Extra 120 in these patients should be used with caution (see With caution).
The incidence of nosebleeds in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with diffuse connective tissue diseases was higher (Sildenafil Vega Extra 120 — 12.9%, placebo — 0%) than in patients with primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (Vega Extra 120 — 3%, placebo — 2.4%). Patients receiving Vega Extra 120 in combination with an antagonist of vitamin K, the frequency of nasal bleeding was higher (8.8 percent) than patients who were not taking an antagonist of vitamin K (1.7 percent).
Use in conjunction with other means for the treatment of erectile dysfunction
The safety and efficacy of Vega Extra 120 together with other PDE-5 inhibitors or other drugs for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension containing Vega Extra 120 (eg, Revatsio®), or other means for the treatment of erection disorders have not been studied, so the use of such combinations is not recommended (see "Contraindications").
Influence on the ability to drive and mechanisms. In patients receiving Vega Extra 120 any negative effect on the ability to drive a car or other means was not observed. However, since when taking Vega Extra 120 may develop dizziness, lowering blood PRESSURE, the development of chromatopsia, blurred vision, etc. side effects, care should be taken when driving and doing other potentially dangerous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions. Also, you should be careful about the individual action of the drug in these situations, especially at the beginning of treatment and when changing the dosage regimen.
Visual impairment
In rare cases, during post-approval use of all of the inhibitors of PDE5, including Vega Extra 120, reported NESN is a rare disease and the cause of the decrease or loss of vision. Most of these patients had risk factors, such as decreased ratios of excavation diameter to optic disc (stagnant disc), age over 50, diabetes, hypertension, CHD, hyperlipidemia, and Smoking. In an observational study evaluated whether recent use of drugs class of inhibitors PDE-5 with an acute onset NESN. The results indicate approximately a 2-fold increase in risk NESN within 5T1/2 after application of the PDE-5 inhibitor. According to published literature, the annual incidence of npins IS 2.5–11.8 cases per 100,000 men aged ≥50 years in the General population. Patients should be advised to stop Vega Extra 120 therapy in case of sudden loss of vision and consult a doctor immediately.
Persons who have already had a case NESN have an increased risk of relapse NESN. Therefore, the doctor should discuss this risk with such patients, as well as the potential chance of adverse effects of PDE-5 inhibitors. PDE-5 inhibitors, including Vega Extra 120, in such patients should be used with caution and only in situations where the expected benefit outweighs the risk. In patients with episodes of development PINZN with loss of vision in one eye receiving Vega Extra 120 is contraindicated (see "Contraindications").
A small number of patients with hereditary retinitis pigmentosa have genetically determined disorders of the PDE of the retina. Information about the safety of the drug Vega Cobra 120 in patients with retinitis pigmentosa absent, so these patients should not be used Vega Extra 120 (see "Contraindications").
Cardiovascular complications
During the post-marketing use of Vega Extra 120 for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, adverse events such as severe cardiovascular complications (including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, sudden cardiac death, ventricular arrhythmia, hemorrhagic stroke, transient ischemic attack, hypertension and hypotension) were reported, which had a temporary connection with the use of Vega Extra 120. Most of these patients, but not all of them, had risk factors for cardiovascular complications. Many of these adverse events were observed shortly after sexual activity, and some were observed after taking Vega Extra Cobra 130 Mg without subsequent sexual activity. It is not possible to establish a direct link between the reported adverse events and those or other factors.
Hypotension
Vega Extra 120 has a systemic vasodilating effect, leading to a transient decrease in blood PRESSURE, which is not clinically significant and does not lead to any consequences in most patients. However, before prescribing Vega Extra 120, the doctor should carefully assess the risk of possible undesirable manifestations of vasodilating action in patients with relevant diseases, especially against the background of sexual activity. Increased susceptibility to vasodilators is observed in patients with obstruction of the output tract of the left ventricle (aortic stenosis, GOCMP), as well as with the rare syndrome of multiple systemic atrophy, manifested by a severe violation of the regulation of blood PRESSURE from the autonomic nervous system.
Since the combined use of Vega Extra 120 and α-blockers can lead to symptomatic hypotension in some sensitive patients, Vega Extra 120 should be used with caution in patients taking α-blockers (see "Interaction"). To minimize the risk of postural hypotension in patients taking α-blockers, the drug Vega Extra 120 Mg should be started only after achieving stabilization of hemodynamic parameters in these patients. It should also consider reducing the initial dose of Vegah Cobra (see. "Dosage and administration"). The doctor should inform patients about what actions should be taken in case of symptoms of postural hypotension.
The pharmacokinetics of Vega Extra 120 in the recommended dose range is linear.
Suction. After intake of Vegal Extra is rapidly absorbed. Absolute bioavailability averages about 40% (25 to 63%). In vitro Vega Extra 120 at a concentration of about 1.7 ng/ml (3.5 nm) inhibits the activity of PDE-5 50%. After a single dose of Vega Extra 120 100 mg average Cmax free Vega Coin in plasma men is about 18 ng/ml (38 nm). Cmax when taking Vega Extra 120 inside fasting is achieved for an average of 60 minutes (from 30 to 120 minutes). When taken in combination with fatty foods, the rate of absorption decreases: Cmax decreases by an average of 29%, and Tmax increases by 60 minutes, but the degree of absorption does not change significantly (AUC decreases by 11%).
Distribution. The average Vss of Vega Extra 120 is 105 l. the Association of Vegab Extra and its main circulating N-demethyl metabolite with plasma proteins is about 96% and does not depend on the total concentration of the drug. Less than 0.0002% of the dose of Vegah Extra 120 Mg (an average of 188 ng) was found in sperm 90 minutes after taking the drug.
Metabolism. Vega Extra 120 is metabolized mainly in the liver by the action of CYP3A4 isoenzyme (main pathway) and CYP2C9 isoenzyme (minor pathway). The main circulating active metabolite, formed as a result of N-demethylation of Vega Extra 120, undergoes further metabolism. The selectivity of this metabolite against PDE is comparable to that of Vega Extra 120, and its activity against PDE-5 in vitro is about 50% of the activity of Vega Extra 120. The concentration of the metabolite in the blood plasma of healthy volunteers was about 40% of the concentration of Vega Extra 120. N-demethyl metabolite undergoes further metabolism; its T1/2 is about 4 no.
Breeding. The total clearance of Vega Extra 120 is 41 l/h, and the final T1/2 — 3-5 h. After oral administration, as well as after I/V, Vega Extra 120 is excreted as metabolites, mainly by the intestine (about 80% oral dose) and to a lesser extent by the kidneys (about 13% oral dose).
