Pharmacological action
Selective inhibitor of cycloguanosine monophosphate (cGMP) -specific PDE5. PDE5, responsible for the breakdown of cGMP, is found not only in the cavernous body of the penis, but also in the vessels of the lungs.
Restores impaired erectile function and provides a natural response to sexual arousal.
Sildenafil does not have a direct relaxing effect on the cavernous body, but it actively enhances the relaxing effect of nitric oxide on this tissue. With sexual arousal, a local release of NO under the influence of sildenafil leads to inhibition of PDE5 and an increase in the level of cGMP in the cavernous body, as a result of which there is a relaxation of smooth muscles and increased blood flow in the cavernous body.
Being an inhibitor of PDE5, sildenafil increases the content of cGMP in smooth muscle cells of the pulmonary vessels and causes their relaxation. In patients with pulmonary hypertension, taking sildenafil leads to vasodilation of the lungs and, to a lesser extent, other vessels.
Sildenafil is selective for PDE5 in vitro. Its activity against PDE5 is superior to activity against other known PDE isoenzymes: PDE6, involved in the transmission of a light signal in the retina of the eye – 10 times PDE1 – 80 times PDE2, PDE4, PDE7-PDE11 – more than 700 times. The activity of sildenafil in relation to PDE5 is more than 4000 times greater than its activity against PDE3, a cAMP-specific PDE involved in heart contraction.
Sildenafil may cause a mild and transient impairment of color discrimination (blue / green). The supposed mechanism of color vision impairment is considered to be the inhibition of PDE6, which is involved in the process of light transmission in the retina. In vitro studies have shown that the effect of sildenafil on PDE6 is 10 times less than its activity against PDE5.
Indications
According to the instructions, Vizarsin Ku-tab is recommended for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, which is characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection of the penis, which is necessary for a satisfactory intercourse. Sexual arousal is required to manifest the effect of the drug.
Special instructions
Before starting drug therapy, in order to diagnose erectile dysfunction and identify possible causes of their development, it is necessary to study the patient’s history and conduct a thorough clinical examination. Since there is a certain risk on the part of CVS due to sexual activity, it is necessary to assess the patient’s condition before starting any course of treatment for erectile dysfunction. The mortality rates from CVD diseases and the incidence of myocardial infarction with sildenafil did not differ from those in comparison with patients from the placebo group. During the post-marketing use of sildenafil, there were reports of serious cardiovascular complications (time-related to taking this drug) including sudden cardiac death, myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmia, unstable angina, transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular hemorrhage / hypertension. Most patients from this group had cardiovascular risk factors. Many of these cases occurred during or immediately after sexual activity, and a small number during the short period after taking sildenafil without sexual activity. It is impossible to establish a direct connection between the development of these pathologies and any factors. Due to the fact that Vizarsina Ku-tab has a vasodilating effect, leading to a temporary and slight decrease in blood pressure, before you start taking it, you must carefully evaluate the possible threat of these unwanted manifestations against the background of certain concomitant diseases, especially during sexual activity. Increased susceptibility to vasodilating action is noted in patients with GOKMP, aortic stenosis or with a rare syndrome of multiple systemic atrophy, accompanied by a severe violation of the autonomous regulation of blood pressure. Since alpha-blockers are vasodilators, when combined with PDE-5 inhibitors, the threat of an excessive decrease in blood pressure is aggravated. Patients receiving alpha-blockers should take Vizarsin Ku-tab with caution, because with an individual predisposition, this can cause the appearance of symptomatic arterial hypotension, usually observed within 4 hours after taking sildenafil. To minimize the likelihood of developing this complication, it is necessary to start taking Visarsin Ku-tab against the background of treatment with alpha-adrenergic blockers only after reaching stabilization of hemodynamic parameters. Also in this case, it is recommended to reduce the initial dose of sildenafil to 25 mg. For patients already receiving sildenafil when prescribing therapy with alpha-blockers, it is advisable to start using the latter with a low dose. A subsequent decrease in blood pressure with this combination may be caused by a gradual increase in the dose of alpha-blockers. The patient should be informed that how should he act in case of signs of orthostatic hypotension. Against the background of treatment with all PDE-5 inhibitors (including sildenafil), rare reports have been received about the occurrence of non-arteriotic AION, which occurs with deterioration or loss of vision. The development of this pathology was observed in patients, most of whom had risk factors such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, age older than 50 years, deepening (excavation) of the optic head, coronary heart disease (CHD), and arterial hypertension. A causal relationship between the development of this complication and the use of PDE-5 inhibitors could not be determined. In case of sudden loss of vision, it is necessary to stop taking Vizarsin Ku-tab and immediately consult a specialist. When treating with PDE-5 inhibitors, including sildenafil, cases of loss or sudden hearing loss were recorded, mainly in patients who had risk factors for these adverse reactions. It is not possible to determine whether loss or sudden hearing loss is associated with sildenafil. With the development of these disorders, it is required to refuse to take the drug and immediately seek medical help.
Composition
Composition 1 tablet:
active substance: sildenafil – 50 mg
additional components: aspartame, neohesperidin dihydrochalcon (E959), calcium silicate FM1000, crospovidone type A, mannitol, hyprolose, mint flavoring peppermint flavor (peppermint oil, acacia gum, water, levomenthol, sorbitol, maltodextrin).
Dosage and administration of
Visarsin Ku-tab is taken orally. Oral dispersible tablets can be used as an alternative form by patients, who have difficulty swallowing Vizarsin film-coated tablets. Since tablets dispersible in the oral cavity are fragile and easily broken, it is not recommended to squeeze them out through the packaging foil. Do not take the tablet with wet hands due to the fact that it may begin to dissolve. Before taking, you need to take a blister with the drug and bend it along the break line. To open the blister, gently pull the edge of the foil and carefully remove the tablet by shaking it in the palm of your hand. After this, the tablet must be immediately put on the tongue, and in order to facilitate swallowing, keep it in the mouth for several seconds until completely dissolved. Then Vizarsin Ku-tab can be washed down with liquid. Do not mix a dispersible tablet in your mouth with food. When using the drug with fatty foods, its effect can be observed later than when taken on an empty stomach. For most adult men, the recommended dose is 50 mg, which should be taken approximately 1 hour before sexual activity if necessary. The dose of Visarsin Ku-tab, taking into account its tolerability and effectiveness, can be increased to 100 mg or reduced to 25 mg. The maximum allowable dose should not exceed 100 mg, taken no more than 1 time per day.

immune system: rarely – hypersensitivity reactions
laboratory and instrumental data: Infrequent – increased heart rate
other violations: infrequently – increased fatigue, chest pain.
overdose
Side effects with a single intake of Vizarsin Ku-tab in doses of less than 800 mg were similar to those used with lower doses of sildenafil, but the frequency and severity of these disorders increased. The use of the drug at a dose of 200 mg did not increase its effect, but caused an increase in the frequency of adverse reactions such as nasal congestion, dyspepsia, headache, dizziness, blood tides, disorders of the organ of vision. In case of overdose, symptomatic treatment is carried out. Hemodialysis is ineffective because sildenafil has a strong bond with blood plasma proteins and is not excreted by the kidneys.
