Each film-coated tablet
contains:
Composition:
Sildenafil
Citrate...............................................................50
mg
Indications :
NEOGRA is indicated for the
treatment of erectile
dysfunction in men.
Description:
Part of the physiological
process of erection involves the
parasympathetic nervous system
causing the release of
nitric oxide (NO) in
the
corpus cavernosum of
the penis. NO binds to the
receptors of the enzyme
guanylate cyclase
which results in increased
levels of
cyclic guanosine monophosphate
(cGMP), leading to
smooth muscle
relaxation (vasodilation) in the
corpus cavernosum, resulting in
increased inflow of blood and an
erection.
Sildenafil is a potent and
selective inhibitor of
cGMP specific phosphodiesterase
type 5 (PDE5) which
is responsible for degradation
of cGMP in the
corpus cavernosum.
The molecular structure of
sildenafil is similar to that of
cGMP and acts as a competitive
binding agent of PDE5 in the
corpus cavernosum, resulting in
more cGMP and better erections.
Without sexual stimulation, and
therefore lack of activation of
the NO/cGMP system, sildenafil
should not cause an erection.
Sildenafil is
metabolised by
hepatic
enzymes and excreted
by both the
liver and
kidneys. If taken
with a high-fat meal, there may
be a delay in absorption of
sildenafil and the peak effect
might be reduced slightly as the
plasma concentration will be
lowered
Contraindications
Use of
NEOGRA
is
contraindicated in patients with
a
known hypersensitivity to any
component of the tablet.
Consistent with its known
effects on the
nitric
oxide/cGMP
pathway, sildenafil was shown to
potentiate the
hypotensive
effects of nitrates, and its
administration to patients who
are
concurrently using organic
nitrates in any form is
therefore contraindicated.
Dosage:
For most patients, the
recommended dose is 50 mg taken,
as needed approximately 1 hour
before sexual activity. However,
NEOGRA may be taken anywhere
from 4 hours to 0.5 hour before
sexual activity. Based on
effectiveness and toleration,
the dose may be increased to a
maximum recommended dose of 100
mg or decreased to 25 mg. The
maximum recommended dosing
frequency is once per day.
