Vegah Extra 120 Mg is a weak inhibitor of cytochrome P450 — 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1 and 3A4 ISOENZYMES (IC50 >150 µmol). When taking Vega Cobra 120 in recommended doses, its Cmax is about 1 µmol, so it is unlikely that Cobra 120 Vega Extra can affect the clearance of the substrates of these isoenzymes.
Vegah Extra 120 Mg 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 Vegah Extra 120 Mg in combination with nitrates or nitric oxide donators is contraindicated. While taking α-adrenoblocker doxazosin (4 and 8 mg) and Vegah Extra 120 Mg (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 Vegah Extra 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.
Vegah Extra 120 Mg (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 Vegah Extra 120 Mg 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.
Vegah Extra 120 Mg (50 mg) does not cause an additional increase in bleeding time when taking acetylsalicylic acid (150 mg).
Vegah 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 Visa (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 Vegah Extra 120 Indication in combination with antihypertensive agents does not lead to additional side effects.
Cardiovascular complications
During the post-marketing use of Vegah Extra 120 Mg 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 Cobra 120 Vega Extra. 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 Vegab Extra without subsequent sexual activity. It is not possible to establish a direct link between the reported adverse events and those or other factors.
Hypotension
Cobra Vega 120 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 Pills, 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 Vegah Extra 120 Mg and α-blockers can lead to symptomatic hypotension in some sensitive patients, Vegah Extra 120 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 Vegah 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 Extra 120 Mg (see. "Dosage and administration"). The doctor should inform patients about what actions should be taken in case of symptoms of postural hypotension.
Clinical data
In a placebo-controlled cross-examination of patients with proven early age macular degeneration (n=9), Vegah 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 Vegah Extra 120 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 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 Extra Vega 25 mg), 74% (dose Vegah Extra 120 Mg 50 mg) and 82% (dose Vegal Extra 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 Vegah Cobra 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 Vegah Extra 130.
Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetics of Vegah Extra 120 Mg in the recommended dose range is linear.
Suction. After intake of Cobra Vega Extra Strong 120mg is rapidly absorbed. Absolute bioavailability averages about 40% (25 to 63%). In vitro Vegah Extra 120 Mg 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 Vegah Extra 120 Mg in plasma men is about 18 ng/ml (38 nm). Cmax when taking Vegah Extra 120 Mg 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 Vegah Extra 120 Mg is 105 l. the Association of Vega Visa 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 Cobra Vega 120 (an average of 188 ng) was found in sperm 90 minutes after taking the drug.
Metabolism. Signature Cobra Vega 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 Visa, undergoes further metabolism. The selectivity of this metabolite against PDE is comparable to that of Vegah Extra 120 Mg, and its activity against PDE-5 in vitro is about 50% of the activity of Cobra 120 Vega Extra. The concentration of the metabolite in the blood plasma of healthy volunteers was about 40% of the concentration of Vegah Extra 120 Mg. N-demethyl metabolite undergoes further metabolism; its T1/2 is about 4 no.
Breeding. The total clearance of Vegah Extra 120 Mg is 41 l/h, and the final T1/2 — 3-5 h. After oral administration, as well as after I/V, Vegah Extra 120 Mg is excreted as metabolites, mainly by the intestine (about 80% oral dose) and to a lesser extent by the kidneys (about 13% oral dose).
