(5.3) •Patients should stop sildenafil tablets and seek prompt medical attention in the event of sudden decrease or loss of hearing (5.4) •Caution is advised when sildenafil tablets are co-administered with alpha-blockers or anti-hypertensives.

Dosage Forms and Strengths

Concomitant use may lead to hypotension (5.5) •Decreased blood pressure, syncope, and prolonged erection may occur at higher sildenafil exposures. Decrease in sildenafil tablets dosage is recommended (2.4,5.6) Most common adverse reactions (≥ 2%) include headache, flushing, dyspepsia, abnormal vision, nasal congestion, back pain, myalgia, nausea, dizziness and rash (6.1) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Evaric Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-866-495-1995 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or •Sildenafil tablets can potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates, alpha blockers, and anti-hypertensives ( 4.1, 5.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 12.2) •With concomitant use of alpha blockers, initiate sildenafil tablets at 25 mg dose (2.3) •CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir, ketoconazole, itraconazole, erythromycin): Increase sildenafil tablets exposure (2.4, 7.4,12.3) •Ritonavir: Do not exceed a maximum single dose of 25 mg in a 48 hour period ( 2.4, 5.6) •Erythromycin or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, saquinavir): Consider a starting dose of 25 mg (2.4,7.4) Sildenafil tablets are indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Based on effectiveness and toleration, the dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. Sildenafil tablets were shown to potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates and its administration in patients who use nitric oxide donors such as organic nitrates or organic nitrites in any form is therefore contraindicated [see Contraindications (4.1),Drug Interactions (7.1),and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].

13. Nonclinical Toxicology

Although plasma levels of sildenafil at 24 hours post dose are much lower than at peak concentration, it is unknown whether nitrates can be safely co-administered at this time point [see Dosage and Administration (2.3),Drug Interactions (7.1),and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported, including rash and urticaria [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Therefore, treatments for erectile dysfunction, including sildenafil tablets, should not be generally used in men for whom sexual activity is inadvisable because of their underlying cardiovascular status. Sildenafil tablets have systemic vasodilatory properties that resulted in transient decreases in supine blood pressure in healthy volunteers (mean maximum decrease of 8.4/5.5 mmHg), [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].While this normally would be expected to be of little consequence in most patients, prior to prescribing sildenafil tablets, physicians should carefully consider whether their patients with underlying cardiovascular disease could be affected adversely by such vasodilatory effects, especially in combination with sexual activity. Use with caution in patients with the following underlying conditions which can be particularly sensitive to the actions of vasodilators including sildenafil tablets – those with left ventricular outflow obstruction (e.g., aortic stenosis, idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis) and those with severely impaired autonomic control of blood pressure.

2.5 Dosage Adjustments in Special Populations

There are no controlled clinical data on the safety or efficacy of sildenafil tablets in the following groups; if prescribed, this should be done with caution. •Patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction, stroke, or life-threatening arrhythmia within the last 6 months; •Patients with resting hypotension sildenafil pills (BP <90/50 mmHg) or hypertension (BP >170/110 mmHg); •Patients with cardiac failure or coronary artery disease causing unstable angina. Sildenafil tablets should be used with caution in patients with anatomical deformation of the penis (such as angulation, cavernosal fibrosis or Peyronie's disease), or in patients who have conditions which may predispose them to priapism (such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia). However, there are no controlled clinical data on the safety or efficacy of sildenafil tablets in patients with sickle cell or related anemias. Physicians should advise patients to stop use of all phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, including sildenafil tablets, and seek medical attention in the event of a sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes. 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 25 mg [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5),Drug Interactions (7.2),and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. Ritonavir The recommended sildenafil otc dose for ritonavir-treated patients is 25 mg prior to sexual activity and the recommended maximum dose is 25 mg within a 48 hour period because concomitant administration increased the blood levels of sildenafil by 11-fold [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6),Drug Interactions (7.4),and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

• Patients with liver or kidney issues should consult a physician before use.
• Sildenafil 200 mg is a potent dose, usually used when lower doses are ineffective.
• Alcohol increases the risk of side effects like dizziness and fainting.
• The medication may cause a sudden decrease in blood pressure.
• Use sildenafil cautiously if taking antihypertensive medications.
• Always adhere to doctor’s advice for optimal safety.

CYP3A4 Inhibitors Consider a starting dose of 25 mg in patients treated with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, or saquinavir) or erythromycin. Clinical data have shown that co-administration with saquinavir or erythromycin increased plasma levels of sildenafil by about 3 fold [see Drug Interactions (7.4)and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

3. Dosage Forms and Strengths

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 25 mg [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5),Drug Interactions (7.2),and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. Ritonavir The recommended sildenafil otc dose for ritonavir-treated patients is 25 mg prior to sexual activity and the recommended maximum dose is 25 mg within a 48 hour period because concomitant administration increased the blood levels of sildenafil by 11-fold [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6),Drug Interactions (7.4),and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. CYP3A4 Inhibitors Consider a starting dose of 25 mg in patients treated with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, or saquinavir) or erythromycin. Clinical data have shown that co-administration with saquinavir or erythromycin increased plasma levels of sildenafil by about 3 fold [see Drug Interactions (7.4)and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Consider a starting dose of 25 mg in patients > 65 years, patients with hepatic impairment (e.g., cirrhosis), and patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/minute) because administration of sildenafil tablets in these patients resulted in higher plasma levels of sildenafil [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.5, 8.6, 8.7)and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3)].

Such an event may be a signof non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a rare condition and a cause of decreased vision including permanent loss of vision, that has been reported rarely post-marketing in temporal associationwith theuse of all PDE5 inhibitors. Based on published literature, the annual incidence of NAION is 2.5 to 11.8 cases per 100,000 in males aged ≥ 50.An observationalcase-crossover study evaluated the risk of NAION when PDE5 inhibitor use, as a class, occurred immediately before NAION onset (within 5 half-lives), compared to PDE5 inhibitor use in a prior time period. Theresults suggestan approximate 2-fold increase in the risk of NAION, with a risk estimate of 2.15 (95% CI 1.06, 4.34). Other risk factors for NAION,such as the presence of ''crowded'' optic disc, may have contributed to the occurrence of NAION in these studies. Neither the rare post-marketing reports, nor the association of PDE5 inhibitor use and NAION in theobservationalstudies, substantiate a causal relationship between PDE5 inhibitor use and NAION [see Adverse Reactions(6.2)].

Therefore, PDE5 inhibitors, including sildenafil tablets, should be used with caution in these patients and only when the anticipated benefits outweigh the risks. 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 tablets, for this uncommon condition. There are no controlled clinical data on the safety or efficacy of sildenafil tablets 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 tablets, and seek prompt medical attention in the event of sudden decrease or loss of hearing.

• The effects of sildenafil 200 mg typically last for 4-6 hours.
• Do not take more than a prescribed dose to avoid overdose symptoms.
• Sildenafil's effectiveness varies based on individual health factors.
• It is available by prescription or from authorized pharmacies.
• The medication can cause priapism, a painful, persistent erection.
• Always follow dosing instructions to ensure safety and efficacy.
