Sildenafil > sildenafil white


Physicians should consider whether their patients with underlying NAION risk factors could be adversely affected by use of PDE5 inhibitors. Individuals with “crowded” optic disc are also considered at greater risk for NAION compared to the general population, however, evidence is insufficient to support screening of prospective users of PDE5 inhibitors, including sildenafil, for this uncommon condition.

There are no controlled clinical data on the safety or efficacy of sildenafil in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (a minority of these patients have genetic disorders of retinal phosphodiesterases); if prescribed, this should be done with caution. Physicians should advise patients to stop taking PDE5 inhibitors, including sildenafil, and seek prompt medical attention in the event of sudden decrease or loss of hearing. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the use of PDE5 inhibitors or to other factors [see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)]. Patients who demonstrate hemodynamic instability on alpha-blocker therapy alone are at increased risk of symptomatic hypotension with concomitant use of PDE5 inhibitors. Patients should be stable on alpha-blocker therapy prior to initiating a PDE5 inhibitor. In those patients who are stable on alpha-blocker therapy, PDE5 inhibitors should be initiated at the lowest dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. In those patients already taking an optimized dose of a PDE5 inhibitor, alpha-blocker therapy should be initiated at the lowest dose.

Warnings & Precautions

Raynaud's phenomenon

Stepwise increase in alpha-blocker dose may be associated with further lowering of blood pressure when taking a PDE5 inhibitor.

Safety of combined use of PDE5 inhibitors and alpha-blockers may be affected by other variables, including intravascular volume depletion and other anti-hypertensive drugs.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

Physicians should consider whether their patients with underlying NAION risk factors could be adversely affected by use of PDE5 inhibitors. Individuals with “crowded” optic disc are also considered at greater risk for NAION compared to the general population, however, evidence is insufficient to support screening of prospective users of PDE5 inhibitors, including sildenafil, for this uncommon condition. There are no controlled clinical data on the safety or efficacy of sildenafil in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (a minority of these patients have genetic disorders of retinal phosphodiesterases); if prescribed, this should be done with caution.

It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the use of PDE5 inhibitors or to other factors [see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)].

Interactions that increase your risk for side effects

Patients who demonstrate hemodynamic instability on alpha-blocker therapy alone are at increased risk of symptomatic hypotension with concomitant use of PDE5 inhibitors. Patients should be stable on alpha-blocker therapy prior to initiating a PDE5 inhibitor. In those patients who are stable on alpha-blocker therapy, PDE5 inhibitors should be initiated at the lowest dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. In those patients already taking an optimized dose of a PDE5 inhibitor, alpha-blocker therapy should be initiated at the lowest dose. Stepwise increase in alpha-blocker dose may be associated with further lowering of blood pressure when taking a PDE5 inhibitor. 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following are discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling:Cardiovascular [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]Prolonged Erection and Priapism [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]Effects on the Eye [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]Hearing Loss [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]Hypotension when Co-administered with Alpha-blockers or Anti-hypertensives [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]Adverse Reactions with the Concomitant Use of Ritonavir [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)]Combination with other PDE5 Inhibitors or Other Erectile Dysfunction Therapies [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)]Effects on Bleeding [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)]Counseling Patients About Sexually Transmitted Diseases [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)]The most common adverse reactions reported in clinical trials (≥ 2%) are headache, flushing, dyspepsia, abnormal vision, nasal congestion, back pain, myalgia, nausea, dizziness, and rash.6.1 Clinical Trials ExperienceBecause clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Sildenafil was administered to over 3700 patients (aged 19 to 87 years) during pre-marketing clinical trials worldwide.

  • The term 'sildenafil white' often refers to unbranded, generic pills.
  • It may be available online through various pharmacies and vendors.
  • Users should verify the legitimacy of sildenafil sources to avoid fake products.
  • This medication is not suitable for individuals with certain heart conditions.
  • Sildenafil white is sometimes used recreationally for its euphoric effects.
  • It may interact with certain antibiotics and antifungals, altering effectiveness.
  • Patients should inform their doctor of all medications before use.
  • The medication is not an aphrodisiac; it only facilitates erectile response.
  • Overuse or misuse of sildenafil white can lead to serious health risks.
  • The recommended maximum frequency is once per day unless advised otherwise.
  • Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential prior to use.

Over 550 patients were treated for longer than one year.In placebo-controlled clinical studies, the discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions for sildenafil (2.5%) was not significantly different from placebo (2.3%).In fixed-dose studies, the incidence of some adverse reactions increased with dose. The type of adverse reactions in flexible-dose studies, which reflect the recommended dosage regimen, was similar to that for fixed-dose studies. At doses above the recommended dose range, adverse reactions were similar to those detailed in Table 1 below but generally were reported more frequently.When sildenafil was taken as recommended (on an as-needed basis) in flexible-dose, placebo-controlled clinical trials of two to twenty-six weeks duration, patients took sildenafil at least once weekly, and the following adverse reactions were reported:The following events occurred in <2% of patients in controlled clinical trials; a causal relationship to sildenafil is uncertain. This analysis was performed retrospectively, and was not powered to detect any pre-specified difference in adverse reactions.6.2 Postmarketing ExperienceThe following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of sildenafil. 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.Cardiovascular and cerebrovascularSerious cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and vascular events, including myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, ventricular arrhythmia, cerebrovascular hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack, hypertension, subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhages, and pulmonary hemorrhage have been reported post-marketing in temporal association with the use of sildenafil. Others were reported to have sildenafil citrate tablets 200mg occurred hours to days after the use of sildenafil and sexual activity.

5.3 Effects on the Eye

When sildenafil was taken as recommended (on an as-needed basis) in flexible-dose, placebo-controlled clinical trials of two to twenty-six weeks duration, patients took sildenafil at least once weekly, and the following adverse reactions were reported: The following events occurred in <2% of patients in controlled clinical trials; a causal relationship to sildenafil is uncertain. Reported events include those with a plausible relation to drug use; omitted are minor events and reports too imprecise to be meaningful: Body as a Whole: face edema, photosensitivity reaction, shock, asthenia, pain, chills, accidental fall, abdominal pain, allergic reaction, chest pain, accidental injury. Metabolic and Nutritional: thirst, edema, gout, unstable diabetes, hyperglycemia, peripheral edema, hyperuricemia, hypoglycemic reaction, hypernatremia.

Warnings for people with certain health conditions

It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to sildenafil, to sexual activity, to the patient’s underlying cardiovascular disease, to a combination of these factors, or to other factors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Patient Counseling Information (17)].Hemic and Lymphatic: vaso-occlusive crisis: In a small, prematurely terminated study of REVATIO (sildenafil) in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) secondary to sickle cell disease, vaso-occlusive crises requiring hospitalization were more commonly reported in patients who received sildenafil than in those randomized to placebo. The clinical relevance of this finding to men treated with sildenafil for ED is not known.Nervous: seizure, seizure recurrence, anxiety, and transient global amnesia.Respiratory: epistaxisSpecial senses:Hearing: Cases of sudden decrease or loss of hearing have been reported postmarketing in temporal association with the use of PDE5 inhibitors, including sildenafil.

2.3 Dosage Adjustments in Specific Situations

Rahel Stoll

Seit der Kindheit wünschte ich in einem helfenden, die Menschen begleitenden Beruf tätig zu sein. Schon früh in meiner ärztlichen Ausbildung an der Universität Zürich mit Staatsexamen 1985 begeisterte mich das Fach Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe. So schrieb ich bereits während dem Medizinstudium meine Dissertation in diesem Bereich und promovierte am 1.1.1986. Meine Ausbildung an diversen Kliniken führte mich zur Fachärztin für Allgemeine Innere Medizin FMH im Jahre 1994. In den folgenden Jahren war ich zuerst teilweise, dann ausschliesslich in der Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe tätig nebst meiner schönsten Aufgabe des Mutterseins von  drei mittlerweilen erwachsenen Kindern. Im 2002 liess mich eine liebe Kollegin in ihrer Praxis in Zürich Oerlikon als selbstständige Frauenärztin tätig sein. Nach stetigem Patientinnenzuwachs konnte ich später die Frauenarztpraxis in Opfikon eigenständig übernehmen. Viele Jahre war und ist mir die Begleitung «meiner Frauen» in und ausserhalb der Schwangerschaft eine grosse Freude und Erfüllung. Dankbar für ihr langjähriges Vertrauen habe ich nun das Glück, meine Praxis per 1. Juli 2022 in jüngere, kompetente und liebevolle Hände zu übergeben und gleichzeitig  weiterhin Patientinnen mitbegleiten zu dürfen.

Ich freue mich auf Sie.
