GENERIC NAME: Sildenafil Citrate
BRAND NAME: Viagra
Why is Sildenafil Citrate prescribed?
Sildenafil Citrate (Viagra) is used to treat erectile
dysfunction (impotence; inability to get or
keep an erection) in men. Sildenafil Citrate (Revatio)
is used to improve the ability to exercise in
people with pulmonary arterial hypertension
(PAH; high blood pressure in the vessels carrying
blood to the lungs, causing shortness of breath,
dizziness, and tiredness). Sildenafil Citrate is in
a class of medications called phosphodiesterase
(PDE) inhibitors. Sildenafil Citrate treats erectile
dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the
penis during sexual stimulation. This increased
blood flow can cause an erection. Sildenafil Citrate
treats PAH by relaxing the blood vessels in
the lungs to allow blood to flow easily.
If you are taking Sildenafil Citrate to treat erectile
dysfunction, you should know that it does not
cure erectile dysfunction or increase sexual
desire. Sildenafil Citrate does not prevent pregnancy
or the spread of sexually transmitted diseases
such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
How should Sildenafil Citrate be used?
Sildenafil Citrate comes as a tablet to take by mouth.
If you are taking Sildenafil Citrate to treat erectile
dysfunction, follow your doctor's directions
and the guidelines in this paragraph. Take Sildenafil Citrate
as needed before sexual activity. The best time
to take Sildenafil Citrate is about 1 hour before sexual
activity, but you can take the medication any
time from 4 hours to 30 minutes before sexual
activity. Sildenafil Citrate usually should not be taken
more than once every 24 hours. If you have certain
health conditions or are taking certain medications,
your doctor may tell you to take Sildenafil Citrate
less often. You can take Sildenafil Citrate with or
without food. However, if you take Sildenafil Citrate
with a high-fat meal, it will take longer for
the medication to start to work.
If you are taking Sildenafil Citrate to treat PAH,
follow your doctor's directions and the guidelines
in this paragraph. You will probably take Sildenafil Citrate
three times a day with or without food. Take
Sildenafil Citrate at around the same times every day,
and space your doses about 4 to 6 hours apart.
Follow the directions on your prescription
label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist
to explain any part you do not understand. Take
Sildenafil Citrate exactly as directed. Do not take
more or less of it or take it more often than
prescribed by your doctor.
If you are taking Sildenafil Citrate for erectile dysfunction,
your doctor will probably start you on an average
dose of Sildenafil Citrate and increase or decrease
your dose depending on your response to the
medication. Tell your doctor if Sildenafil Citrate is
not working well or if you are experiencing
side effects.
If you are taking Sildenafil Citrate for PAH, you should
know that Sildenafil Citrate controls PAH but does not
cure it. Continue to take Sildenafil Citrate even if
you feel well. Do not stop taking Sildenafil Citrate
without talking to your doctor.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of
the manufacturer's information for the patient.
Other uses for Sildenafil Citrate
Sildenafil Citrate is sometimes prescribed for
other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for
more information.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking Sildenafil Citrate,
tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are
allergic to Sildenafil Citrate or any other medications.
do not take Sildenafil Citrate if you are taking or
have recently taken nitrates (medications for
chest pain) such as isosorbide dinitrate (Isordil),
isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur, ISMO), and nitroglycerin
(Nitro-BID, Nitro-Dur, Nitroquick, Nitrostat,
others). Nitrates come as tablets, sublingual
(under the tongue) tablets, sprays, patches,
pastes, and ointments. Ask your doctor if you
are not sure whether any of your medications
contain nitrates.
do not take street drugs containing nitrates
such as amyl nitrate and butyl nitrate ('poppers')
while taking Sildenafil Citrate.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription
and nonprescription medications, vitamins, and
nutritional supplements you are taking or plan
to take. Be sure to mention any of the following:
alpha blockers such as alfuzosin (Uroxatral),
doxazosin (Cardura), prazosin (Minipress), tamsulosin
(Flomax), and terazosin (Hytrin); amlodipine
(Norvasc); certain antifungals such as itraconazole
(Sporanox) and ketoconazole (Nizoral); anticoagulants
('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin);
certain barbiturates such as butalbital (in
Esgic-Plus, in Fioricet, in Fiorinal, others)
and secobarbital (Seconal); beta blockers such
as atenolol (Tenormin), labetalol (Normodyne),
metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), nadolol (Corgard),
and propranolol (Inderal); bosentan (Tracleer);
cimetidine (Tagamet);efavirenz (Sustiva); erythromycin
(E.E.S., E-Mycin, Erythrocin); HIV protease
inhibitors including amprenavir (Agenerase),
atazanavir (Reyataz), darunavir (Prezista),
fosamprenavir (Lexiva), indinavir (Crixivan),
lopinavir (in Kaletra), nelfinavir (Viracept),
ritonavir (Norvir, in Kaletra), saquinavir (Fortovase,
Invirase), and tipranavir (Aptivus); nevirapine
(Viramune); other medications or devices to
treat erectile dysfunction;medications for high
blood pressure; certain medications for seizures
including carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Epitol,
Tegretol), phenobarbital, and phenytoin (Dilantin,
Phenytek); rifabutin (Mycobutin); and rifampin
(Rifadin, Rimactane). Your doctor may need to
change the doses of your medications or monitor
you carefully for side effects. Many other medications
may also interact with Sildenafil Citrate, so be sure
to tell your doctor about all the medications
you are taking, even those that do not appear
on this list.
tell your doctor what herbal products you are
taking or plan to take, especially St. John's
wort.
tell your doctor if you smoke, if you have ever
had an erection that lasted for several hours,
and if you have recently lost a large amount
of body fluids (dehydration). This can happen
if you are sick with fever, diarrhea, or vomiting;
sweat a lot; or do not drink enough liquids.
Also tell your doctor if you have or have ever
had pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD;
blockage of veins in the lungs); a stomach ulcer;
heart, kidney, or liver disease; a heart attack;
an irregular heartbeat; a stroke; chest pain;
high or low blood pressure; high cholesterol;
a bleeding disorder; blood circulation problems;blood
cell problems such as sickle cell anemia (a
disease of the red blood cells), multiple myeloma
(cancer of the plasma cells), or leukemia (cancer
of the white blood cells); conditions affecting
the shape of the penis (e.g., angulation, cavernosal
fibrosis, or Peyronie's disease); or diabetes.
Also tell your doctor if you or any of your
family members have or have ever had an eye
disease such as retinitis pigmentosa (an inherited
eye condition that causes loss of vision) or
if you have ever had sudden severe vision loss,
especially if you were told that the vision
loss was caused by a blockage of blood flow
to the nerves that help you see.
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to
become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you
become pregnant while taking Sildenafil Citrate, call
your doctor.
if you are having surgery, including dental
surgery, tell your doctor or dentist that you
are taking Sildenafil Citrate.
if you are taking Sildenafil Citrate to treat erectile
dysfunction, tell your doctor if you have ever
been advised by a health care professional to
avoid sexual activity for medical reasons or
if you have ever experienced chest pain during
sexual activity. Sexual activity may be a strain
on your heart, especially if you have heart
disease. If you experience chest pain, dizziness,
or nausea during sexual activity, call your
doctor immediately and avoid sexual activity
until your doctor tells you otherwise.
tell all your health care providers that you
are taking Sildenafil Citrate. If you ever need emergency
medical treatment for a heart problem, the health
care providers who treat you will need to know
when you last took Sildenafil Citrate.
What special dietary instructions should I follow?
Talk to your doctor about eating grapefruit
and drinking grapefruit juice while taking Sildenafil Citrate.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
If you are taking Sildenafil Citrate for erectile dysfunction,
you are unlikely to miss a dose since Sildenafil Citrate
is taken as needed, not on a regular dosing
schedule.
If you are taking Sildenafil Citrate for PAH, take
the missed dose as soon as you remember it.
However, if it is almost time for the next dose,
skip the missed dose and continue your regular
dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to
make up for a missed one.

cause?

doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or
do not go away:
headache
heartburn
diarrhea

in some cases. It is not known if the vision
loss was caused by the medication. If you experience
a sudden loss of vision while you are taking
Sildenafil Citrate, call your doctor immediately. Do
not take any more doses of Sildenafil Citrate or similar
medications such as tadalafil (Cialis) or vardenafil

irregular heartbeat, bleeding in the brain or
lungs, high blood pressure, and sudden death
in men who took Sildenafil Citrate for erectile dysfunction.
Most, but not all, of these people had heart
problems before taking Sildenafil Citrate. It is not
known whether these events were caused by Sildenafil Citrate,
sexual activity, heart disease, or a combination
of these and other causes.Talk to your doctor
about the risks of taking Sildenafil Citrate.
Some patients experienced a sudden decrease
or loss of hearing after they took Sildenafil Citrate
or other medications that are similar to Sildenafil Citrate.
The hearing loss usually involved only one ear
and may not get better. It is not known if the
hearing loss was caused by the medication. If
you experience a sudden loss of hearing, sometimes
with ringing in the ears or dizziness, while
you are taking Sildenafil Citrate, call your doctor
immediately. If you are taking Sildenafil Citrate (Viagra)
for erectile dysfunction, do not take any more
