Revatio
OVERDOSE
In studies with healthy volunteers of single doses up to 800 mg, adverse events were similar to those seen at lower doses but rates were increased.
In cases of overdose, standard supportive measures should be adopted as required. Renal dialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance as sildenafil is highly bound to plasma proteins and it is not eliminated in the urine.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Consistent with its known effects on the nitric oxide/cGMP pathway (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY), sildenafil was shown to potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates, and its administration to patients who are using organic nitrates, either regularly and/or intermittently, in any form is therefore contraindicated.
REVATIO is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any component of the tablet.
Generic Name: Sildenafil Citrate
