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 Vega Cobra 120, consult a doctor immediately.
Bleedings
Cobra Vega 120 enhances the antiplatelet effect of sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide donator, on human platelets in vitro. Data on the safety of Vega Cobra in patients with a tendency to bleeding or exacerbation of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer are not available, so the drug Vegab 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 Cobra — 12.9%, placebo — 0%) than in patients with primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (Vega Cobra — 3%, placebo — 2.4%). Patients receiving Cobra Vega 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 Vega Cobra together with other PDE-5 inhibitors or other drugs for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension containing Vega 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 Vega 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.
Clinical data
In a placebo-controlled cross-examination of patients with proven early age macular degeneration (n=9), Vega 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 Sildenafil Tablets Vega Extra Cobra 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 120 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 Vega Cobra 25 mg), 74% (dose Vega Cobra 50 mg) and 82% (dose Vega Cobra 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 Coin 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 Cobra.
Pharmacokinetics
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 Cobra 100 mg, the second tablet of Cobra Vega Extra Strong 120 Mg 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 Cobra 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 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) Vegah Extra 120 Indication dose should be reduced to 25 mg.
Hepatic impairment. Since the excretion of Vegal Extra is disturbed in patients with liver damage (in particular, cirrhosis), the dose of Vega Cobra 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 Cobra 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 Vega Cobra should be 25 mg (see "Interaction").
To minimize the risk of postural hypotension in patients taking α-blockers, Vega Cobra should be started only after achieving hemodynamic stabilization in these patients. Consideration should also be given to reducing the initial dose of Vega Cobra (see special instructions and Interactions).
Old age. Adjustment of the dose of Vega Extra 120 Mg is not required.
