Label: VARDENAFIL HYDROCHLORIDE tablet

In some patients, concomitant use of these two drug classes can lower blood pressure significantly leading to symptomatic hypotension (for example, fainting) [see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)] . Consideration should be given to the following:Patients should be stable on alpha-blocker therapy prior to initiating a PDE5 inhibitor. Patients who demonstrate hemodynamic instability on alpha-blocker therapy alone are at increased risk of symptomatic hypotension with concomitant use of PDE5 inhibitors.In those patients who are stable on alpha-blocker therapy, PDE5 inhibitors should be initiated at the lowest recommended starting dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)] .In those patients already taking an optimized dose of 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 in patients 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.5.7 Congenital or Acquired QT ProlongationIn a study of the effect of vardenafil hydrochloride tablets on QT interval in 59 healthy males [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)] , therapeutic (10 mg) and supratherapeutic (80 mg) doses of vardenafil and the active control moxifloxacin (400 mg) produced similar increases in QTc interval. A postmarketing study evaluating the effect of combining vardenafil hydrochloride tablets with another drug of comparable QT effect showed an additive QT effect when compared with either drug alone [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)] .

• Vardenafil 10mg can help improve sexual confidence and satisfaction.
• Use it responsibly to maintain health and efficacy.
• Check for any medication allergies before use.
• Inform your doctor about all health conditions prior to starting.
• Do not take vardenafil if you have recent cardiovascular events.
• Avoid excessive alcohol, which can worsen side effects.
• Report any unexpected symptoms to your healthcare provider.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions for dosage and timing.
• Be aware of the medication’s interaction with other drugs.
• Proper storage ensures the medication’s effectiveness and safety.

These observations should be considered in clinical decisions when prescribing vardenafil hydrochloride tablets to patients with known history of QT prolongation or patients who are taking medications known to prolong the QT interval.Patients taking Class 1A (for example. quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (for example, amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic medications or those with congenital QT prolongation, should avoid using vardenafil hydrochloride tablets.5.8 Hepatic ImpairmentDosage adjustment is necessary in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B). Do not use vardenafil hydrochloride tablets in patients with severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment. [See Dosage and Administration (2.3) Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].5.9 Renal ImpairmentDo not use vardenafil hydrochloride tablets buy vardenafil 40mg in patients on renal dialysis, as vardenafil has not been evaluated in this population [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].5.10 Combination with Other Erectile Dysfunction TherapiesThe safety and efficacy of vardenafil hydrochloride tablets used in combination with other treatments for erectile dysfunction have not been studied. Therefore, the use of such combinations is not recommended.5.11 Effects on BleedingIn humans, vardenafil alone in doses up to 20 mg does not prolong the bleeding time. There is no clinical evidence of any additive prolongation of the bleeding time when vardenafil is administered with aspirin. Vardenafil hydrochloride tablets have not been administered to patients with bleeding disorders or significant active peptic ulceration. Therefore vardenafil hydrochloride tablets should be administered to these patients after careful benefit-risk assessment.5.12 Sexually Transmitted DiseaseThe use of vardenafil hydrochloride tablets offers no protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Counseling of patients about protective measures necessary to guard against sexually transmitted diseases, including the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), should be considered.5.13 Risks in Patients with PhenylketonuriaPhenylalanine can be harmful to patients with phenylketonuria (PKU). Vardenafil hydrochloride tablets contain phenylalanine, a component of aspartame. Before prescribing vardenafil hydrochloride tablets in a patient with PKU, consider the combined daily amount of phenylalanine from all sources, including vardenafil hydrochloride tablets. The evaluation of erectile dysfunction should include a medical assessment, a determination of potential underlying causes and the identification of appropriate treatment. Before prescribing vardenafil hydrochloride tablets, it is important to note the following: Physicians should consider the cardiovascular status of their patients, since there is a degree of cardiac risk associated with sexual activity.

Vardenafil Warnings/Precautions

Patients with left ventricular outflow obstruction, (for example, aortic stenosis and idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis) can be sensitive to the action of vasodilators including PDE5 inhibitors. Vardenafil hydrochloride tablets have systemic vasodilatory properties that resulted in transient decreases in supine blood pressure in healthy volunteers (mean maximum decrease of 7 mmHg systolic and 8 mmHg diastolic) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)] . While this normally would be expected to be of little consequence in most patients, prior to prescribing vardenafil hydrochloride tablets, physicians should carefully consider whether their patients with underlying cardiovascular disease could be affected adversely by such vasodilatory effects. Dosage adjustment is necessary when vardenafil hydrochloride tablets are administered with certain CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.4), and Drug Interactions (7.2)]. Long-term safety information is not available lovegra 100 mg on the concomitant administration of vardenafil with HIV protease inhibitors.

Usual Adult Dose for:

There have been rare reports of prolonged erections greater than 4 hours and priapism (painful erections greater than 6 hours in duration) for this class of compounds, including vardenafil. If priapism is not treated immediately, penile tissue damage and permanent loss of potency may result. Vardenafil hydrochloride tablets should be used with caution by patients with anatomical deformation of the penis (such as angulation, cavernosal fibrosis, or Peyronie's disease) or by patients who have conditions that may predispose them to priapism (such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia). Physicians should advise patients to stop use of all phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, including vardenafil hydrochloride tablets, and seek medical attention in the event of sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes. Based on published literature, the annual incidence of NAION is 2.5–11.8 cases per 100,000 in males aged ≥50. Therefore, treatment for erectile dysfunction, including vardenafil hydrochloride tablets, should not be used in men for whom sexual activity is not recommended because of their underlying cardiovascular status.

There are no controlled clinical data on the safety or efficacy of vardenafil in the following patients; and therefore its use is not recommended until further information is available: unstable angina; hypotension (resting systolic blood pressure of <90 mmHg); uncontrolled hypertension (>170/110 mmHg); recent history of stroke, life-threatening arrhythmia, or myocardial infarction (within the last 6 months); severe cardiac failure. Patients with left ventricular outflow obstruction, (for example, aortic stenosis and idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis) can be sensitive to the action of vasodilators including PDE5 inhibitors.

What happens if I overdose?

An observational case-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. 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 postmarketing reports, nor the association of PDE5 inhibitor use and NAION in the observational studies, substantiate a causal relationship between PDE5 inhibitor use and NAION [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)] . 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 vardenafil hydrochloride tablets, for this uncommon condition.

Vardenafil hydrochloride tablets have not been evaluated in patients with known hereditary degenerative retinal disorders, including retinitis pigmentosa, therefore its use is not recommended until further information is available in those patients. Physicians should advise patients to stop taking all PDE5 inhibitors, including vardenafil hydrochloride tablets, 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 (6.2)]. Caution is advised when PDE5 inhibitors are co-administered with alpha-blockers. Consideration should be given to the following: Patients should buy cenforce 120mg be stable on alpha-blocker therapy prior to initiating a PDE5 inhibitor. If priapism is not treated immediately, penile tissue damage and permanent loss of potency may result. Vardenafil hydrochloride tablets should be used with caution by patients with anatomical deformation of the penis (such as angulation, cavernosal fibrosis, or Peyronie's disease) or by patients who have conditions that may predispose them to priapism (such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia).
