Cardiovascular complications
During the post-marketing use of Vega Extra 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 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 Cobra 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 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 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 Cobra Vega Extra, in such patients should be used with caution and only in situations where the expected benefit outweighs the risk.
When using the drug Vega Cobra 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 Extra 120
The metabolism of Vega Extra 120 occurs mainly under the action of CYP3A4 isoenzyme (main pathway), so inhibitors of this isoenzyme can reduce the clearance of Cobra 120 Vega Extra, and inducers, respectively, increase the clearance of Cobra Vega 120 Mg. A decrease in the clearance of Vega Extra 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 120 (50 mg) causes an increase in the concentration of Vega Visa 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 Vegab Extra by 182%.
When co-administered Vega Extra 120 (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 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 120.
The simultaneous use of Vega Extra 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 Vegah Extra 120 Mg by 300% (4 times), a AUC by 1000% (11-fold). After 24 h, the concentration of Vega Extra 120 in blood plasma is about 200 ng/ml (after a single application of one Vega Extra 120 — 5 ng/ml). This is consistent with the ritonavir effect on a wide range of cytochrome P450 substrates. Vega Extra 120 does not affect the pharmacokinetics of ritonavir. Given these data, the simultaneous reception of ritonavir and Vega Extra 120 is not recommended. In any case, the maximum dose of Vega Extra 120 under any circumstances should not exceed 25 mg for 48 hours. If Sildenafil Vega Extra 130 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 Cobra 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 120 in Css (80 mg 3 times a day) showed a decrease in AUC and Cmax Vega Extra 120 by 62.6 and 52.4%, respectively. Vega Extra 120 increased the AUC and Cmax of bosentan by 49.8 and 42%, respectively.
It is assumed that the simultaneous use of Vega Extra 120 with powerful inducers of CYP3A4 isoenzyme, such as rifampicin, can lead to a greater decrease in the concentration of Vega Extra 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 Coin.
Azithromycin (500 mg/day for 3 days) has no effect on AUC, Cmax, Tmax, excretion rate constant and T1/2 Vega Extra 120 or its main circulating metabolite.

Clinical data
Cardiac studies. The use of Cobra Vega 120 Mg 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 120 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 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%. Vega Extra Cobra 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 Vega Extra 120 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 Sildenafil Vega Extra 120 (up to 100 mg) in men (n=568) with erectile dysfunction and hypertension, taking more than two antihypertensive drugs, was studied. Vega Extra 120 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 Vega Extra 120 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. Vega Extra 120 had no effect on visual acuity, contrast perception, electroretinogram, IOP or pupil diameter.
