The pharmacokinetics of Vega Cobra 120 Mg in the recommended dose range is linear.
Suction. After intake of Vega Extra Cobra is rapidly absorbed. Absolute bioavailability averages about 40% (25 to 63%). In vitro Vega Extra Cobra at a concentration of about 1.7 ng/ml (3.5 nm) inhibits the activity of PDE-5 50%. After a single dose of Vega Extra Cobra 100 mg average Cmax free Vega Extra Cobra in plasma men is about 18 ng/ml (38 nm). Cmax when taking Vega Extra Cobra 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 Cobra Vega Extra Strong 120 Mg is 105 l. the Association of Cobra Vega Extra Strong 120 Mg 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 Extra Cobra (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 Sildenafil Tablets Vegah Extra Cobra, undergoes further metabolism. The selectivity of this metabolite against PDE is comparable to that of Vega Extra, and its activity against PDE-5 in vitro is about 50% of the activity of Vega Extra Cobra. The concentration of the metabolite in the blood plasma of healthy volunteers was about 40% of the concentration of Vega Extra Cobra. N-demethyl metabolite undergoes further metabolism; its T1/2 is about 4 no.
Breeding. The total clearance of Vega Extra Cobra 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 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).
Clinical data
In a placebo-controlled cross-examination of patients with proven early age macular degeneration (n=9), Vega Extra Cobra 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 Strong 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 Mg Cobra, 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 Vega Extra Cobra 25 mg), 74% (dose Vegah Cobra 50 mg) and 82% (dose Vega Extra Strong 120 100 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 Cobra 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 Extra Cobra.
Pharmacokinetics
Cardiovascular complications
During the post-marketing use of Vega Extra Cobra 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 Cobra. 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 Cobra 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 Extra Strong 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 Cobra Vega Extra Strong 120mg, 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 Vegah Extra Cobra and α-blockers can lead to symptomatic hypotension in some sensitive patients, Vegal Extra 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 Vega Extra Cobra should be started only after achieving stabilization of hemodynamic parameters in these patients. It should also consider reducing the initial dose of Vega Extra (see. "Dosage and administration"). The doctor should inform patients about what actions should be taken in case of symptoms of postural hypotension.
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 Extra Cobra. 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 Cobra 120 Mg, consult a doctor immediately.
Bleedings
Vegal Extra enhances the antiplatelet effect of sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide donator, on human platelets in vitro. Data on the safety of Vega 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 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 (Sildenafil Tablets Vegah Extra Cobra — 3%, placebo — 2.4%). Patients receiving Vega Extra Cobra 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 Vega Extra 120 together with other PDE-5 inhibitors or other drugs for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension containing Vega Extra Cobra (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 Vegah Cobra any negative effect on the ability to drive a car or other means was not observed. However, since when taking Vega Cobra 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.
