50 Pill: white, four-sided, 11mm
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of sildenafil tablets. These events have been chosen for inclusion either due to their seriousness, reporting frequency, lack of clear alternative causation, or a combination of these factors. 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 NitratesAdministration of sildenafil tablets with nitric oxide donors such as organic nitrates or organic nitrites in any form is contraindicated. Consistent with its known effects on the nitric oxide/cGMP pathway, sildenafil tablets were shown to potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Contraindications (4.1),Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].7.2 Alpha-blockersUse caution when co-administering alpha-blockers with sildenafil tablets because of potential additive blood pressure-lowering effects. When sildenafil tablets are co-administered with an alpha-blocker, patients should be stable on alpha-blocker therapy prior to initiating sildenafil tablets treatment and sildenafil tablets should be initiated at the lowest dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.3),Warnings and Precautions (5.5),Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].7.3 AmlodipineWhen sildenafil tablets 100 mg were co-administered with amlodipine (5 mg or 10 mg) to hypertensive patients, the mean additional reduction on supine blood pressure was 8 mmHg systolic and 7 mmHg diastolic [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5),Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].7.4 Ritonavir and other CYP3A4 inhibitorsCo-administration of ritonavir, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, greatly increased the systemic exposure of sildenafil (11-fold increase in AUC). It is therefore recommended not to exceed a maximum single dose of 25 mg of sildenafil tablets in a 48 hour period [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4),Warnings and Precautions (5.6),Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3)].Co-administration of erythromycin, a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor, resulted in a 160% and 182% increases in sildenafil C maxand AUC, respectively. Co-administration of saquinavir, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, resulted in 140% and 210% increases in sildenafil C maxand AUC, respectively.
5.4 Visual Loss
Stronger CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole or itraconazole could be expected to have greater effects than seen with saquinavir. A starting dose of 25 mg of sildenafil tablets should be considered in patients taking erythromycin or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as saquinavir, ketoconazole, itracanozole) [see Dosage and Administration (2.4),Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3)].7.5 AlcoholIn a drug-drug interaction study sildenafil 50 mg given with alcohol 0.5 g/kg in which mean maximum blood alcohol levels of 0.08% was achieved, sildenafil did not potentiate the hypotensive effect of alcohol in healthy volunteers [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ].

If you don’t have ED, why is taking Viagra risky?
In the rat pre- and postnatal development study, the no observed adverse effect dose was 30 mg/kg/day given for 36 days, about 2 times the MRHD on a mg/m 2basis in a 50 kg subject.8.2 LactationRisk SummarySildenafil tablets is not indicated for use in females.Limited data indicate that sildenafil and its active metabolite are present in human milk. There is no information on the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production.8.4 Pediatric UseSildenafil tablets are not indicated for use in pediatric patients. Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients.8.5 Geriatric UseHealthy elderly volunteers (65 years or over) had a reduced clearance of sildenafil resulting in approximately 84% and 107% higher plasma AUC values of sildenafil and its active N-desmethyl metabolite, respectively, compared to those seen in healthy young volunteers (18 to 45 years) [see Clinical Pharmacology(12.3)]. Due to age-differences in plasma protein binding, the corresponding increase in the AUC of free (unbound) sildenafil and its active N-desmethyl metabolite were 45% and 57%, respectively [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].Of the total number of subjects in clinical studies of sildenafil tablets, 18% were 65 years and older, while 2% were 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or efficacy were observed between older (≥ 65 years of age) and younger (< 65 years of age) subjects.However, since higher plasma levels may increase the incidence of adverse reactions, a starting dose of 25 mg should be considered in older subjects due to the higher systemic exposure [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].8.6 Renal ImpairmentNo dose adjustment is required for mild (CLcr=50 to 80 mL/min) and moderate (CLcr=30 to 49 mL/min) renal impairment.
Recreational use
In volunteers with severe renal impairment (Clcr<30 mL/min), sildenafil clearance was reduced, resulting in higher plasma exposure of sildenafil (~2 fold), approximately doubling of C maxand AUC. A starting dose of 25 mg should be considered in patients with severe renal impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].8.7 Hepatic ImpairmentIn volunteers with hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A and B), sildenafil clearance was reduced, resulting in higher plasma exposure of sildenafil (47% for C maxand 85% for AUC). The pharmacokinetics of sildenafil in patients with severely impaired hepatic function (Child-Pugh Class C) have not been studied. A starting dose of 25 mg should be considered in patients with any degree of hepatic impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Sildenafil tablets are not indicated for use in pediatric patients. When sildenafil tablets 100 mg were co-administered with amlodipine (5 mg or 10 mg) to hypertensive patients, the mean additional reduction on supine blood pressure was 8 mmHg systolic and 7 mmHg diastolic [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5),Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. Co-administration of ritonavir, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, greatly increased the systemic exposure of sildenafil (11-fold increase in AUC). It is therefore recommended not to exceed a maximum single dose of 25 mg of sildenafil tablets in a 48 hour period [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4),Warnings and Precautions (5.6),Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3)]. In a drug-drug interaction study sildenafil 50 mg given with alcohol 0.5 g/kg in which mean maximum blood alcohol levels of 0.08% was achieved, sildenafil did not potentiate the hypotensive effect of alcohol in healthy volunteers [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy: Teratogenic EffectsRisk SummarySildenafil tablets is not indicated for use in females.There are no data with the use of sildenafil tablets in pregnant women to inform sildenafil 100mg hexal any drug-associated risks for adverse developmental outcomes.

Side effects of Sildenafil (Revatio)
Consistent with its known effects on the nitric oxide/cGMP pathway, sildenafil tablets were shown to potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Contraindications (4.1),Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].

How is sildenafil supplied (dosage forms)?
In volunteers with hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A and B), sildenafil clearance was reduced, resulting in higher plasma exposure of sildenafil (47% for C maxand 85% for AUC). 10 OVERDOSAGE In studies with healthy volunteers of single doses up to 800 mg, adverse reactions were similar to those seen at lower doses but incidence rates and severities were increased.In cases of overdose, standard supportive measures should be adopted as required. Renal dialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance as sildenafil is highly bound to plasma proteins and it is not eliminated in the urine. In studies with healthy volunteers of single doses up to 800 mg, adverse reactions were similar to those seen at lower doses but incidence rates and severities were increased. 11 DESCRIPTION Sildenafil Tablet, USP an oral therapy for erectile dysfunction, is the citrate salt of sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5).Sildenafil citrate, USP is designated chemically as 1-[[3-(6,7-dihydro-1-methyl-7-oxo-3-propyl-1 H-pyrazolo[4,3- d]pyrimidin-5-yl)-4-ethoxyphenyl]sulfonyl]-4-methylpiperazine citrate and has the following structural formula:Sildenafil citrate, USP is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a solubility of 3.5 mg/mL in water and a molecular weight of 666.7.Sildenafil tablet, USP is formulated as white, film-coated round-shaped tablets equivalent to 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg of sildenafil for oral administration.
