Clinical data
Cardiac studies. The use of Vega Pills in doses up to 100 mg did not lead to clinically significant ECG changes in healthy volunteers. The maximum decrease in systolic pressure in the supine position after taking Vega Pills at a dose of 100 mg was 8.3 mm Hg.art., and diastolic pressure — 5.3 mm Hg.a More pronounced, but also transient effect on blood PRESSURE was observed in patients taking nitrates (see "Contraindications" and "Interaction").
In a study of the hemodynamic effect of Cobra Vega Extra Strong 120 Mg in a single dose of 100 mg in 14 patients with severe coronary artery disease (more than 70% of patients had stenosis of at least one coronary artery), systolic and diastolic resting pressure decreased by 7 and 6%, respectively, and pulmonary systolic pressure decreased by 9%. Vegal Extra did not affect cardiac output and did not interfere with blood flow in stenotic coronary arteries, and also led to an increase (by about 13%) of adenosine-induced coronary flow in both stenotic and intact coronary arteries. In a double-blind placebo-controlled study of 144 patients with erectile dysfunction and stable angina, taking antianginal drugs (except nitrates), exercise was performed until the severity of symptoms of angina increased. The duration of the exercise was significantly longer (19.9 seconds; 0.9–38.9 seconds) in patients taking Cobra Vega in a single dose of 100 mg, compared with patients receiving placebo.
In a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study, the effect of changing the dose of Vega Pills (up to 100 mg) in men (n=568) with erectile dysfunction and hypertension, taking more than two antihypertensive drugs, was studied. Vega Pills improved erection in 71% of men compared to 18% in the placebo group. The frequency of adverse effects was comparable to that in other groups of patients, as well as in those taking more than three antihypertensive drugs.
Studies of visual impairment. In some patients, 1 h after taking Cobra Vega at a dose of 100 mg with the Farnsworth-Mansell test 100 revealed a slight and transient violation of the ability to distinguish shades of color (blue/green). After 2 hours after taking the drug, these changes were absent. It is believed that color vision impairment is caused by inhibition of PDE-6, which is involved in the process of color transmission in the retina. Cobra Vega Extra had no effect on visual acuity, contrast perception, electroretinogram, IOP or pupil diameter.
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.
Vegah Extra 120 Indication 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 Vegah Cobra 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 Cobra 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 Pills is sexual stimulation.
Vega Extra Cobra 120 restores impaired erectile function in conditions of sexual stimulation by increasing blood flow to the cavernous bodies of the penis.
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 Pills. 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 Cobra Vega Extra Strong 120 Mg, consult a doctor immediately.
Bleedings
Sildenafil Tablets Vega Extra Cobra enhances the antiplatelet effect of sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide donator, on human platelets in vitro. Data on the safety of Vega Pills in patients with a tendency to bleeding or exacerbation of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer are not available, so the drug Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg Cobra 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 — 12.9%, placebo — 0%) than in patients with primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (Vega Pills — 3%, placebo — 2.4%). Patients receiving Cobra 120 Vega Extra 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 Pills together with other PDE-5 inhibitors or other drugs for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension containing Vega Pills (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 Sildenafil Tablets Vega Extra Cobra any negative effect on the ability to drive a car or other means was not observed. However, since when taking Cobra Vega 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.
The pharmacokinetics of Vega Pills in the recommended dose range is linear.
Suction. After intake of Vega Pills is rapidly absorbed. Absolute bioavailability averages about 40% (25 to 63%). In vitro Vega Pills at a concentration of about 1.7 ng/ml (3.5 nm) inhibits the activity of PDE-5 50%. After a single dose of Vegah Extra 120 Mg 100 mg average Cmax free Vega Extra in plasma men is about 18 ng/ml (38 nm). Cmax when taking Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 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 Pills is 105 l. the Association of Vega Pills 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 Vega Pills (an average of 188 ng) was found in sperm 90 minutes after taking the drug.
Metabolism. Sildenafil 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 Pills, undergoes further metabolism. The selectivity of this metabolite against PDE is comparable to that of Vegah Extra 120 Indication, and its activity against PDE-5 in vitro is about 50% of the activity of Vega Pills. The concentration of the metabolite in the blood plasma of healthy volunteers was about 40% of the concentration of Vega Pills. N-demethyl metabolite undergoes further metabolism; its T1/2 is about 4 no.
Breeding. The total clearance of Vega Pills is 41 l/h, and the final T1/2 — 3-5 h. After oral administration, as well as after I/V, Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 is excreted as metabolites, mainly by the intestine (about 80% oral dose) and to a lesser extent by the kidneys (about 13% oral dose).
