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 Cobra Vega 120. 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 Vega Extra Cobra 120, consult a doctor immediately.
Bleedings
Vega Cobra enhances the antiplatelet effect of sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide donator, on human platelets in vitro. Data on the safety of Vegah Extra 120 Mg in patients with a tendency to bleeding or exacerbation of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer are not available, so the drug Vega Extra Cobra 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 (Vega Extra Cobra 120 — 12.9%, placebo — 0%) than in patients with primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (Vega Extra Cobra 120 — 3%, placebo — 2.4%). Patients receiving Vega Extra Cobra 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 Coin together with other PDE-5 inhibitors or other drugs for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension containing Signature Cobra Vega (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 Cobra Vega Extra Strong 120mg any negative effect on the ability to drive a car or other means was not observed. However, since when taking Vega Extra Cobra 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.
Influence of Vega Extra Cobra 120 on other drugs
Vega Extra Cobra 120 is a weak inhibitor of cytochrome P450 — 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1 and 3A4 ISOENZYMES (IC50 >150 µmol). When taking Vega Extra Cobra 120 in recommended doses, its Cmax is about 1 µmol, so it is unlikely that Vega Cobra 120 Mg can affect the clearance of the substrates of these isoenzymes.
Vega Extra Cobra 120 increases the hypotensive effect of nitrates both with long-term use of the latter, and with their appointment for urgent indications. In this regard, the use of Vega Coin in combination with nitrates or nitric oxide donators is contraindicated. While taking α-adrenoblocker doxazosin (4 and 8 mg) and Vega Extra Cobra 120 (25, 50 and 100 mg) in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia with stable hemodynamics, the average additional decrease in sad/dad in the supine position was 7/7, 9/5 and 8/4 mm Hg.article, respectively, while in the standing position — 6/6, 11/4 mmHg, and 4/5.art. respectively. Reported rare cases of symptomatic postural hypotension in such patients, manifested in the form of dizziness (without fainting). In some sensitive patients receiving α-blockers, simultaneous use of Cobra Vega Extra Strong 120 Mg can lead to symptomatic hypotension.
There were no signs of significant interaction with tolbutamide (250 mg) or warfarin (40 mg), which are metabolized by CYP2C9 isoenzyme.
Vega Extra Cobra 120 (100 mg) has no effect on the pharmacokinetics of the HIV protease inhibitor, saquinavir, which is a substrate of CYP3A4 isoenzyme, at its constant level in the blood.
The simultaneous use of Vegal Extra at equilibrium (80 mg 3 times a day) leads to an increase in the AUC and Cmax of bosentan (125 mg 2 times a day) by 49.8 and 42%, respectively.
Vega Extra Cobra 120 (50 mg) does not cause an additional increase in bleeding time when taking acetylsalicylic acid (150 mg).
Signature Cobra Vega (50 mg) does not increase the hypotensive effect of alcohol in healthy volunteers with Cmax of alcohol in the blood on average 0.08‰ (80 mg/DL).
In patients with hypertension, no signs of interaction of Vegah Extra 120 Mg (100 mg) with amlodipine were found. The average additional reduction in blood PRESSURE in the supine position is 8 mm Hg.V. (systolic) and 7 mm Hg.V. (diastolic).
The use of Vega Extra Cobra 120 in combination with antihypertensive agents does not lead to additional side effects.
Vega Extra Cobra 120 is a potent selective inhibitor of cGMP-specific PDE-5.
Mechanism of action
The implementation of the physiological mechanism of erection is associated with the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the cavernous body during sexual stimulation. This, in turn, leads to an increase in the level of cGMP, the subsequent relaxation of smooth muscle tissue of the cavernous body and an increase in blood flow.
Vega Extra does not have a direct relaxing effect on the isolated cavernous human body, but enhances the effect of nitric oxide by inhibiting PDE-5, which is responsible for the disintegration of cGMP.
Selective Signature Cobra Vega against PDE5 in vitro, its activity against PDE5 superior activity against other known PDE isoenzymes: PDE-6 — 10 times; PDE-1 more than 80 times; PDE-2, PDE-4, PDE-7 PDE–11 more than 700 times. Vega 120 Mg is 4000 times more selective for PDE-5 than PDE-3, which is crucial because PDE-3 is one of the key enzymes in the regulation of myocardial contractility.
A prerequisite for the effectiveness of Vega Extra Cobra 120 is sexual stimulation.
Vega Cobra restores impaired erectile function in conditions of sexual stimulation by increasing blood flow to the cavernous bodies of the penis.
Clinical data
In a placebo-controlled cross-examination of patients with proven early age macular degeneration (n=9), Vega Coin was well tolerated at a single dose of 100 mg. There were no clinically significant changes in vision evaluated by special visual tests (visual acuity, Amsler lattice, color perception, color simulation, Humphrey perimeter and photostress).
Efficiency. The efficacy and safety of Vega Extra Cobra 120 were evaluated in 21 randomized double-blind placebo-controlled studies lasting up to 6 months in 3000 patients from 19 to 87 years with erectile dysfunction of different etiology (organic, psychogenic or mixed). The efficacy of the drug was evaluated globally using an erection diary, an international erectile function index (validated questionnaire on the state of sexual function) and a partner survey.
The effectiveness of Vega Extra Cobra 120, defined as the ability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse, has been demonstrated in all studies and confirmed in long-term studies lasting 1 year. In studies with the use of fixed-dose proportion of patients reporting that treatment improved their erections were 62% (dose of Vegah Extra 120 Mg 25 mg), 74% (dose Vega Extra Cobra 120 50 mg) and 82% (dose Extra Vega 100 mg) compared to 25% in the placebo group. Analysis of the international index of erectile function showed that in addition to improving erection treatment Vega Visa also increased the quality of orgasm, allowing to achieve satisfaction from sexual intercourse and overall satisfaction.
According to the generalized data, 59% of patients with diabetes, 43% of patients who underwent radical prostatectomy and 83% of patients with spinal cord injuries (against 16, 15 and 12% in the placebo group, respectively) were reported to have improved erection in the treatment of Vega Extra Cobra 120.
