Vega Extra Strong 120 is a weak inhibitor of cytochrome P450 — 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1 and 3A4 ISOENZYMES (IC50 >150 µmol). When taking Vega Extra Strong 120 in recommended doses, its Cmax is about 1 µmol, so it is unlikely that Vega Extra Strong 120 can affect the clearance of the substrates of these isoenzymes.
Vega Extra Strong 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 Cobra Vega Extra in combination with nitrates or nitric oxide donators is contraindicated. While taking α-adrenoblocker doxazosin (4 and 8 mg) and Vegah Extra 130 (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 Vega Extra Strong 120 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 Coin (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 Vega Extra Strong 120 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 Visa (50 mg) does not cause an additional increase in bleeding time when taking acetylsalicylic acid (150 mg).
Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg Cobra (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 Vega Extra Strong 120 (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 Strong 120 in combination with antihypertensive agents does not lead to additional side effects.
Dosage and administration
Inside, can be taken with or without water. When taking the drug, you should put a tablet, dispersed in the oral cavity, on the tongue, after which it will quickly dissolve, and it can be swallowed. The tablet should be taken immediately after opening the blister. Patients who are recommended a dose of Vega Extra Strong 120 100 mg, the second tablet of Vega Extra Strong 120 50 mg should be taken after complete dissolution of the first tablet.
The recommended dose for most adult patients is 50 mg approximately 1 hour before sexual activity. Taking into account the effectiveness and tolerability of the dose can be increased to 100 mg or reduced to 25 mg (only tablets coated with a film, the appropriate dosage). The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg. Patients who are recommended a dose of Vega Extra 120 100 mg, it is necessary to take 2 table., dispersible in the oral cavity, dosage 50 mg consecutively one after another. The maximum recommended frequency of use — 1 time per day. It should be borne in mind that the absorption of Vega Cobra 120 Mg significantly slows down when used in combination with fatty foods.
Special patient groups
Renal impairment. In mild to moderate renal failure dose adjustment is not required, in severe renal failure (Creatinine CL <30 ml/min) Vega Extra Strong 120 dose should be reduced to 25 mg.
Hepatic impairment. Since the excretion of Vega Extra Strong 120 is disturbed in patients with liver damage (in particular, cirrhosis), the dose of Vega Extra Strong 120 should be reduced to 25 mg.
Joint application with other drugs. Joint use with ritonavir is not recommended. In any case, the maximum dose of Vega Extra Strong 120 under any circumstances should not exceed 25 mg, and the frequency of application — 1 time in 48 h (see "Interaction").
When combined with inhibitors of CYP3A4 isoenzyme (erythromycin, saquinavir, ketoconazole, Itraconazole), the initial dose of Vegah Cobra should be 25 mg (see "Interaction").
To minimize the risk of postural hypotension in patients taking α-blockers, Sildenafil Vega Extra 120 should be started only after achieving hemodynamic stabilization in these patients. Consideration should also be given to reducing the initial dose of Vega Visa (see special instructions and Interactions).
Old age. Adjustment of the dose of Vega Extra Strong 120 is not required.
Cardiovascular complications
During the post-marketing use of Vega Extra Strong 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 Vegah Extra 130. 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 Strong 120 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 Cobra 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 Strong 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 Sildenafil Tablets Vega Extra Cobra and α-blockers can lead to symptomatic hypotension in some sensitive patients, Vega Extra Strong 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 Vegah Extra 130 should be started only after achieving stabilization of hemodynamic parameters in these patients. It should also consider reducing the initial dose of Vega Extra Strong 120 (see. "Dosage and administration"). The doctor should inform patients about what actions should be taken in case of symptoms of postural hypotension.
Cardiovascular complications
During the post-marketing use of Vega Extra Strong 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 Strong 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 Strong 120 without subsequent sexual activity. It is not possible to establish a direct link between the reported adverse events and those or other factors.
Visual impairment
In rare cases, during post-approval use of all of the inhibitors of PDE5, including Vega Extra Cobra 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 of developing 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 Strong 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130, in such patients should be used with caution and only in situations where the expected benefit outweighs the risk.
When using the drug Vega Extra Strong 120 in doses exceeding the recommended, adverse events were similar to those noted above, but usually more common.
*Side effects identified during post-marketing studies.
Interaction
Effect of other drugs on the pharmacokinetics of Vega 120 Mg
The metabolism of Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg Cobra occurs mainly under the action of CYP3A4 isoenzyme (main pathway), so inhibitors of this isoenzyme can reduce the clearance of Vega Extra Strong 120, and inducers, respectively, increase the clearance of Vega Extra Strong 120. A decrease in the clearance of Vega Extra Strong 120 with simultaneous use of inhibitors of CYP3A4 isoenzyme (ketoconazole, erythromycin, cimetidine).
Cimetidine (800 mg), a nonspecific inhibitor of CYP3A4 isoenzyme, when taken together with Vega Extra Strong 120 (50 mg) causes an increase in the concentration of Vega Extra Strong 120 in plasma by 56%.
A single dose of 100 mg of Vega Cobra 120 together with erythromycin (500 mg/day 2 times a day for 5 days), a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 isoenzyme, while achieving a constant concentration of erythromycin in the blood, leads to an increase in the AUC of Sildenafil Tablets Vega Extra Cobra by 182%.
When co-administered Vega Extra (once 100 mg) and saquinavir (1200 mg/day 3 times daily), an inhibitor of HIV protease and of CYP3A4, on the background to achieve a constant concentration of saquinavir in the blood, Cmax of Vega Extra Strong 120 was increased by 140% and the AUC increased by 210%.
Stronger inhibitors of CYP3A4 isoenzyme, such as ketoconazole and Itraconazole, can cause more pronounced changes in the pharmacokinetics of Vega Extra Strong 120.
The simultaneous use of Vega Extra Strong 120 (100 mg once) and ritonavir (500 mg 2 times a day), an inhibitor of HIV protease and a strong inhibitor of cytochrome P450, on the background to achieve a constant concentration of ritonavir in the blood leads to an increase in Cmax of Cobra Vega Extra Strong 120 Mg by 300% (4 times), a AUC by 1000% (11-fold). After 24 h, the concentration of Vega Cobra in blood plasma is about 200 ng/ml (after a single application of one Cobra 120 Vega Extra — 5 ng/ml). This is consistent with the ritonavir effect on a wide range of cytochrome P450 substrates. Vega Extra Strong 120 does not affect the pharmacokinetics of ritonavir. Given these data, the simultaneous reception of ritonavir and Vega Extra Cobra 120 is not recommended. In any case, the maximum dose of Vegab Extra under any circumstances should not exceed 25 mg for 48 hours. If Vega Extra Strong 120 is taken in the recommended doses, patients receiving strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 isoenzyme at the same time, then Cmax free Vega Extra Strong 120 does not exceed 200 nm, and the drug is well tolerated.
Single administration of antacid (magnesium hydroxide/aluminum hydroxide) does not affect the bioavailability of Vega Extra Strong 120.
Studies involving healthy volunteers with simultaneous use of endothelin receptor antagonist, bosentan (CYP3A4 isoenzyme inducer (moderate), CYP2C9, and possibly CYP2C19) in Css (125 mg 2 times a day) and Vega Extra Strong 120 in Css (80 mg 3 times a day) showed a decrease in AUC and Cmax Vega Extra Strong 120 by 62.6 and 52.4%, respectively. Vega Cobra increased the AUC and Cmax of bosentan by 49.8 and 42%, respectively.
It is assumed that the simultaneous use of Vega Extra Strong 120 with powerful inducers of CYP3A4 isoenzyme, such as rifampicin, can lead to a greater decrease in the concentration of Vega Extra Strong 120 in blood plasma.
CYP2D6 isoenzyme inhibitors (SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants), thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics, ACE inhibitors and calcium antagonists have no effect on the pharmacokinetics of Vega Extra Strong 120.
Azithromycin (500 mg/day for 3 days) has no effect on AUC, Cmax, Tmax, excretion rate constant and T1/2 Vega Extra Cobra or its main circulating metabolite.
