On any nitrates – Patients with retinitis pigmentosa • Precautions: Start @ 25 w/ >65y/o, Caution w/ CHF or MI within last 6 months, resting hypotension, if on alpha blockers start low and titrate up as needed; >3 drinks of alcohol • Side Effects – Headache, flushing, indigestion, dyspepsia, stuffiness, visual disturbances Slide 8 Sildenafil • Stop & seek medical help if visual acuity or hearing changes • Hepatic impairment- start low, go slow • Renal Insufficiency: Volunteers with mild (CLcr=50-80 mL/min) and moderate (CLcr=30-49 mL/min) renal impairment, the pharmacokinetics of 1 oral dose of VIAGRA (50 mg) were not altered. With severe (CLcr=<30 mL/min) renal impairment, sildenafil clearance was reduced, resulting in approximately doubling of concentrations compared to age-matched volunteers with no renal impairment. • In addition, N-desmethyl metabolite AUC and Cmax values significantly increased 200% and 79% respectively in subjects with severe renal impairment compared to subjects with normal renal function. – From prescribing information @ http://www.pfizer.com/files/products/uspi_viagra.pdf Slide 9 Vardenafil • Dosage: 5-20mg, Starting dose 10 mg • Contraindicated: – Patients on nitrates or guanylate cyclase stimulators (riociguat) – Not for patients with QT prolongation – Do not use with patients on dialysis as no research done (prescribing info) • Precautions: Start @ 5 mg if >64; Adjust dose or don’t use w/ moderate-severe renal impairment; start low, go slow with hepatic impairment; hypotension with excessive alcohol • Drug Interactions • Adverse Reactions: – Headache, flushing, stuffy nose, dizzy • Instruction – High fat may effect absorption, others similar Slide 10 Vardenafil Hcl • Do not take with nitrates • Caution with alpha- blockers=may drop your blood pressure to an unsafe level, must start at lowest dose- start low, go slow. • Metabolism through CYP3A4- ritonavir and indinavir increase half LeVitra- use 2.5mg no more than every 72 hours for ritonavir and 2.5 mg in 24 hours with indinavir • Erthromyacin & Ketoconazole- increase Levitra- use 2.5-5 mg dose Slide 11 Vardenafil Hcl • Do not use LEVITRA in patients on renal dialysis as vardenafil has not been evaluated in such patients. • No dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with creatinine clearance (CLcr) of 30–80 mL/min. In male volunteers with CLcr = 50-80 ml/min, the pharmacokinetics of vardenafil were similar to those observed in a control group with CLcr >80 mL/min. In male volunteers with CLcr = 30-50 mL/min or CLcr<30 mL/min, the AUC of vardenafil was 20–30% higher compared to that observed in a control group with CLcr>80 mL/min. – From prescribing information at http://www.levitra.com/assets/pdf/PI.pdf Slide 12 Tadalafil • Dosage: 5-20mg; Starting dose- 10mg; 36 hour duration • Onset 30-60 mins; peak effect- 60-120 mins • Contraindication: – Patients taking nitrates – Not recommended for men w/ MI last 90 days, stroke last 6 months, Class 2 or > heart failure; uncontrolled arrhythmias, hypotension <90/50 • Side Effects: – Headache, dyspepsia, dizziness, flushing, nasal stuffiness, back pain, myalgia – Teaching: Can take with foods, but high fat may delay absorption, same as others; no excessive alcohol (<5units) – Stop and seek medical help if visual acuity change or hearing loss Slide 13 Tadalafil • Renal Patients: • Patients with creatinine clearance 30 to 50 mL/min: Dosage adjustment may be needed. • Patients with creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min or on hemodialysis: For use as needed: Dose should not exceed 5 mg every 72 hours.

  • Penile Injection Therapy | Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
    PATIENT & CAREGIVER EDUCATION Penile Injection Therapy This information will help you learn to inject medication into your penis. This is called penile injection therapy. Penile injections can help you achieve an erection if you have erectile dysfunction (ED). Read this resource carefully before starting injection therapy. If you do not follow the instructions in this resource, your doctor or APP may stop prescribing your penile injection medications and supplies. About Penile Injection Therapy The tissue that causes you to get an erection (erectile tissue) is a muscle. Going long periods of time without an erection is unhealthy for erectile tissue and may damage it. We believe having erections keeps erectile tissue healthy. A penile injection helps you have an erection. It works best if it’s given about 5 to 15 minutes before you want an erection. Penile Injection Therapy 1/19 Giving Yourself the Injection Your advanced practice provider (APP) will review the instructions below with you. Generally, the training for the injections takes 2 office visits. Please be aware that each visit may take up to 1 hour, so you should plan your schedule on the day of your appointment. Use this resource to help you the first few times you inject on your own. Do not take the following medications within 18 hours of injecting (before or after): Sildenafil (Viagra®) - 20 mg to 100 mg Vardenafil (Levitra®) - 10 mg to 20 mg Avanafil (Stendra®) - 50 mg to 200 mg If you take tadalafil (Cialis®) 10 mg or 20 mg, do not inject within 72 hours (3 days) of taking the medication.

  • Phosphodiesterase (PDE)
    Phosphodiesterase (PDE) Phosphodiesterase (PDE) is any enzyme that breaks a phosphodiester bond. Usually, people speaking of phosphodiesterase are referring to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, which have great clinical significance and are described below. However, there are many other families of phosphodiesterases, including phospholipases C and D, autotaxin, sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, DNases, RNases, and restriction endonucleases, as well as numerous less-well-characterized small-molecule phosphodiesterases. The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases comprise a group of enzymes that degrade the phosphodiester bond in the second messenger molecules cAMP and cGMP. They regulate the localization, duration, and amplitude of cyclic nucleotide signaling within subcellular domains. PDEs are therefore important regulators ofsignal transduction mediated by these second messenger molecules. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 Phosphodiesterase (PDE) Inhibitors, Activators & Modulators (+)-Medioresinol Di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (R)-(-)-Rolipram Cat.

Y Yang1,2, J-l Hu1,2,4,YMa1,2, H-x Wang1,2, Z Chen3, J-g Xia3, Y-x Wang1,2, Y-r Huang1,2 and B Chen1,2 To prospectively compare the clinical responses and penile color-duplex ultrasound (PCDU) results of oral PDE5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) with papaverine intracavernosal injection (ICI) and to evaluate whether PDE5-Is could be used as alternatives to vasoactive agent injections, 25 ED patients underwent PCDU three times with an interval of at least 1 week, using different pharmacological induction: ICI mode (30--60 mg papaverine), sildenafil mode (100 mg sildenafil) and tadalafil mode (20 mg tadalafil). The preference of the patients was collected when all tests were completed. No significant differences were found in peak systolic velocity and acceleration time among all three modes. However for the ICI mode, end diastolic velocity of the right cavernosal artery was significantly higher than those of the sildenafil and tadalafil modes 5 min after erection induction, and at 15 min it became lower than those of two PDE5-I modes. Consequently, resistance index of the right cavernosal artery in ICI mode was reversed at 5 and 15 min. In all, 60.0 and 56.0% patients managed to reach full erection in PDE5-Is modes, which was significantly lower than in ICI mode (80.0%).
