Cardiovascular complications
During the post-marketing use of Vegah Extra 130 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg. 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 Vegah Extra 120 Mg 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg, 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg 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 Mg, in such patients should be used with caution and only in situations where the expected benefit outweighs the risk.
When using the drug Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg 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 Cobra 120
The metabolism of Cobra Vega Extra occurs mainly under the action of CYP3A4 isoenzyme (main pathway), so inhibitors of this isoenzyme can reduce the clearance of Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg, and inducers, respectively, increase the clearance of Cobra Vega Extra. A decrease in the clearance of Vega Extra 120 Mg with simultaneous use of inhibitors of CYP3A4 isoenzyme (ketoconazole, erythromycin, cimetidine).
Cimetidine (800 mg), a nonspecific inhibitor of CYP3A4 isoenzyme, when taken together with Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg (50 mg) causes an increase in the concentration of Vegab Extra in plasma by 56%.
A single dose of 100 mg of Vega 120 Mg 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 Cobra 120 Vega Extra by 182%.
When co-administered Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg (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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 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 Extra Vega.
The simultaneous use of Sildenafil Tablets Vega Extra Cobra (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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg by 300% (4 times), a AUC by 1000% (11-fold). After 24 h, the concentration of Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg in blood plasma is about 200 ng/ml (after a single application of one Vega Visa — 5 ng/ml). This is consistent with the ritonavir effect on a wide range of cytochrome P450 substrates. Vegal Extra does not affect the pharmacokinetics of ritonavir. Given these data, the simultaneous reception of ritonavir and Vega Coin is not recommended. In any case, the maximum dose of Vega Pills under any circumstances should not exceed 25 mg for 48 hours. If Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg is taken in the recommended doses, patients receiving strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 isoenzyme at the same time, then Cmax free Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg.
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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg in Css (80 mg 3 times a day) showed a decrease in AUC and Cmax Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg by 62.6 and 52.4%, respectively. Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg increased the AUC and Cmax of bosentan by 49.8 and 42%, respectively.
It is assumed that the simultaneous use of Vega Visa with powerful inducers of CYP3A4 isoenzyme, such as rifampicin, can lead to a greater decrease in the concentration of Sildenafil Tablets Vega Extra Cobra 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg.
Azithromycin (500 mg/day for 3 days) has no effect on AUC, Cmax, Tmax, excretion rate constant and T1/2 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg or its main circulating metabolite.
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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg, consult a doctor immediately.
Bleedings
Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg enhances the antiplatelet effect of sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide donator, on human platelets in vitro. Data on the safety of Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg in patients with a tendency to bleeding or exacerbation of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer are not available, so the drug Cobra 120 Vega Extra 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 130 Mg — 12.9%, placebo — 0%) than in patients with primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg — 3%, placebo — 2.4%). Patients receiving Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg 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 Sildenafil Tablets Vega Extra Cobra together with other PDE-5 inhibitors or other drugs for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension containing Cobra Vega 120 Mg (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 Vega Extra 130 Mg any negative effect on the ability to drive a car or other means was not observed. However, since when taking Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg 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.
Clinical data
In a placebo-controlled cross-examination of patients with proven early age macular degeneration (n=9), Vega Extra 120 Mg 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg 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 130 Mg, 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 Signature Cobra Vega 25 mg), 74% (dose Vega Cobra 120 50 mg) and 82% (dose Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg 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 120 Mg 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 120 Mg.
Pharmacokinetics
Cardiovascular complications
During the post-marketing use of Vegal Extra 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 Pills. 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 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
Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg 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 Mg, 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 Cobra Vega Extra and α-blockers can lead to symptomatic hypotension in some sensitive patients, Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg 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 Cobra Vega should be started only after achieving stabilization of hemodynamic parameters in these patients. It should also consider reducing the initial dose of Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg (see. "Dosage and administration"). The doctor should inform patients about what actions should be taken in case of symptoms of postural hypotension.
