Sildenafil Injection
Pronunciation: sil-DEN-a-fil
Generic Name: Sildenafil
Brand Name: Revatio Injection
Sildenafil Injection is used for:
Treating high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary arterial hypertension [PAH]). It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Sildenafil Injection is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It works by relaxing and dilating the blood vessels in the lungs. This lowers the blood pressure in the lungs and helps to improve your ability to exercise.
Do NOT use Sildenafil Injection if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Sildenafil Injection
- you have pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD)
- you are taking nitrates (eg, isosorbide, nitroglycerin) in any form (eg, tablet, capsule, spray, patch, ointment), or nitroprusside
- you take another medicine that contains sildenafil, another PDE5 inhibitor (eg, tadalafil, vardenafil), or ritonavir
- you use certain recreational drugs called "poppers" (eg, amyl nitrate or nitrite, butyl nitrate or nitrite)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Sildenafil Injection:
Some medical conditions may interact with Sildenafil Injection. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of a prolonged (more than 4 hours) or painful erection (priapism)
- if you have a deformed penis (eg, cavernosal fibrosis, Peyronie disease), certain blood cell problems (eg, leukemia, multiple myeloma, sickle cell anemia), or any other condition that may increase the risk of a prolonged or painful erection (priapism)
- if you have a history of certain eye problems (eg, macular degeneration, optic neuropathy, retinitis pigmentosa, sudden vision loss in one or both eyes) or hearing problems (eg, ringing in the ears, decreased hearing, hearing loss)
- if you are dehydrated or have a history of liver or kidney problems, high or low blood pressure, ulcers, bleeding problems, heart problems (eg, aortic stenosis, angina, irregular heartbeat, heart failure), blood vessel problems, or nervous system problems
- if you have a history of a heart attack, a stroke, or life-threatening irregular heartbeat, especially within the past 6 months
- if you have pulmonary hypertension caused by sickle cell anemia
- if you are taking bosentan or medicine for erectile dysfunction (ED)
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Sildenafil Injection. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Alpha-blockers (eg, doxazosin), medicines for high blood pressure, nitrates (eg, isosorbide, nitroglycerin), or nitroprusside because severe low blood pressure with dizziness, light-headedness, and fainting may occur
- Azole antifungals (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole), H2 antagonists (eg, cimetidine), HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir, saquinavir), macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin), or telithromycin because they may increase the risk of Sildenafil Injection's side effects
- Barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), bosentan, carbamazepine, efavirenz, nevirapine, phenytoin, rifabutin, or rifampin because they may decrease Sildenafil Injection's effectiveness
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Sildenafil Injection may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Sildenafil Injection:
Use Sildenafil Injection as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Sildenafil Injection is usually given as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. If you will be using Sildenafil Injection at home, a health care provider will teach you how to use it. Be sure you understand how to use Sildenafil Injection. Follow the procedures you are taught when you use a dose. Contact your health care provider if you have any questions.
- Do not use Sildenafil Injection if it contains particles, is cloudy or discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged.
- Use Sildenafil Injection on a regular schedule to get the most benefit from it. Use it at the same times each day.
- Continue to use Sildenafil Injection even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
- Do not suddenly stop using Sildenafil Injection or change your dose without talking to your doctor.
- Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children and pets. Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Ask your health care provider how to dispose of these materials after use. Follow all local rules for disposal.
- If you miss a dose of Sildenafil Injection, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Sildenafil Injection.
Important safety information:
- Sildenafil Injection may cause drowsiness, dizziness, fainting, or blurred vision. These effects may be worse if you use it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Sildenafil Injection with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Sildenafil Injection may cause dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.
- Patients with heart problems who use Sildenafil Injection may be at increased risk of heart-related side effects, including a heart attack or stroke. Symptoms of a heart attack may include chest, shoulder, neck, or jaw pain; numbness of an arm or leg; severe dizziness, headache, nausea, stomach pain, or vomiting; fainting; or vision changes. Symptoms of a stroke may include confusion, vision or speech changes, one-sided weakness, or fainting. Contact your doctor or seek medical attention right away if you experience these symptoms.
- Sildenafil Injection may rarely cause a prolonged (more than 4 hours) or painful erection. This could happen even when you are not having sex. If this is not treated right away, it could lead to permanent sexual problems, such as impotence. Contact your doctor right away if you have an erection that lasts more than 4 hours.
- If vomiting or diarrhea occurs, you will need to take care not to become dehydrated. Contact your doctor for instructions.
- Sildenafil Injection may uncommonly cause mild, temporary vision changes (eg, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, blue/green color tint to vision). Contact your doctor if vision changes persist or are severe.
- Rarely, an eye problem called nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) has been reported in patients who took Sildenafil Injection. This may lead to decreased vision or permanent loss of vision in some cases. If you notice a sudden decrease in vision or loss of vision in one or both eyes, contact your doctor right away.
- Sudden decreases in hearing and loss of hearing have been reported in some patients who have taken Sildenafil Injection. Sometimes they also noticed ringing in the ears or dizziness. If you notice a sudden decrease or loss of hearing, contact your doctor right away.
- Do not use medicines or treatments for ED while you are using Sildenafil Injection without first checking with your doctor.
- Use Sildenafil Injection with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- Sildenafil Injection should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Sildenafil Injection while you are pregnant. It is not known if Sildenafil Injection is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Sildenafil Injection, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.

Uses For mycophenolate mofetil
Mycophenolate belongs to a group of medicines known as immunosuppressive agents. It is used with other medicines to lower the body's natural immunity in patients who receive organ transplants (e.g., kidney, heart, or liver).
When a patient receives an organ transplant, the body's white blood cells will try to get rid of (reject) the transplanted organ. Mycophenolate prevents the white blood cells from rejecting the transplanted organ.
mycophenolate mofetil is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Before Using mycophenolate mofetil
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For mycophenolate mofetil, the following should be considered:
Allergies
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to mycophenolate mofetil or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Pediatric
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of mycophenolate in children receiving kidney transplants. However, safety and efficacy have not been established in infants younger than 3 months of age.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of mycophenolate in children receiving heart or liver transplants. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Geriatric
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of mycophenolate in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving mycophenolate.
Pregnancy
| Pregnancy Category | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
| All Trimesters | D | Studies in pregnant women have demonstrated a risk to the fetus. However, the benefits of therapy in a life threatening situation or a serious disease, may outweigh the potential risk. |
Breast Feeding
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Interactions with Medicines
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking mycophenolate mofetil, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.

Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other Medical Problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of mycophenolate mofetil. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Bone marrow problems (e.g., neutropenia) or
- Stomach ulcers or bleeding—Use with caution. May make these conditions worse.
- Infection—May decrease your ability to fight an infection.
- Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome (rare genetic disease) or
- Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (rare genetic disease)—Should not be used in patients with these conditions.
- Kidney disease, severe—Use with caution. The effects may be increased because of slower removal of the medicine from the body.
- Phenylketonuria (PKU)—The oral suspension contains aspartame (phenylalanine), which can make this condition worse.
Proper Use of mycophenolate mofetil
Take mycophenolate mofetil exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. Taking too much may increase the chance of side effects, while taking too little may lead to rejection of your transplanted organ.
mycophenolate mofetil should come with a medication guide. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
It is best to take mycophenolate mofetil on an empty stomach, either one hour before or 2 hours after meals, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
Mycophenolate capsules and tablets should be swallowed whole. Do not break, crush, open, or chew them.
It is important that you handle mycophenolate mofetil with care. Avoid inhaling the powder from the capsule or allowing the powder or the oral liquid to touch your skin or eyes. If the medicine gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If the medicine gets in your eyes, wash them with plain water. Should a spill occur, wipe it up using paper towels wetted with water to remove the powder or liquid.
You should use the oral dispenser from the pharmacist to measure the correct amount of suspension. If you have any questions about this, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Use only the brand of mycophenolate tablets that your doctor ordered. Different brands may not work the same way.
If you are also using antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium (such as Maalox® or Mylanta®), do not use them at the same time as mycophenolate. Use them 1 hour before or 2 hours after your dose. If you have questions, talk with your doctor about the best times to use your medicines.
Dosing
The dose of mycophenolate mofetil will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of mycophenolate mofetil. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.

Storage
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.

The oral suspension can also be kept in the refrigerator. Throw away any unused suspension after 60 days.
Precautions While Using mycophenolate mofetil
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits. Your doctor will do blood tests to make sure that mycophenolate is working properly and to check for unwanted effects.
Using mycophenolate mofetil while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. If you are a woman who can bear children, your doctor may give you a pregnancy test before you start using mycophenolate mofetil to make sure you are not pregnant. Your birth control pills may not work as well while you are using mycophenolate mofetil. You must use two forms of birth control together for 1 month before starting mycophenolate mofetil, for the entire time that you are being treated, and for 6 weeks after you receive your last dose of mycophenolate mofetil. Use birth control pills together with another form of birth control, such as a condom, diaphragm, or contraceptive foam or jelly. If you think you have become pregnant while using the medicine, tell your doctor right away.
Using mycophenolate mofetil may increase your risk of getting skin cancer or cancer of the lymph system (lymphoma). Talk to your doctor if you have concerns about this risk.
Use sunscreen or sunblock lotions with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 on a regular basis when you are outdoors. Wear protective clothing and hats and stay out of direct sunlight, especially between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Avoid sunlamps and tanning beds.
Mycophenolate can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, which increases the chance of getting an infection. If you can, avoid people with infections. Check with your doctor immediately if you think you are getting an infection or if you have a fever or chills, cough or hoarseness, lower back or side pain, or painful or difficult urination.
Mycophenolate may cause pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). This is a very rare condition where the body no longer makes red blood cells and the patient has severe anemia. Check with your doctor right away if you have a fever and sore throat; pale skin; unusual bleeding or bruising; or unusual tiredness or weakness.
mycophenolate mofetil may increase your risk of developing a serious and rare brain infection called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Check with your doctor right away if you are having more than one of these symptoms: vision changes, loss of coordination, clumsiness, memory loss, difficulty speaking or understanding what others say, and weakness in the legs.
mycophenolate mofetil may increase your risk of developing a rare and serious virus infection called BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN). The BK virus may affect how your kidneys work and cause a transplanted kidney to fail. Check with your doctor right away if you are having more than one of these symptoms: bloody urine; a decreased frequency or amount of urine; increased thirst; loss of appetite; lower back or side pain; nausea; swelling of the face, fingers, or lower legs; trouble with breathing; unusual tiredness or weakness; vomiting; or weight gain.
While you are receiving mycophenolate, and after you stop, do not have any immunizations (vaccinations) without your doctor's approval. Mycophenolate will lower your body's resistance and there is a chance you might get the infection the immunization is meant to prevent.
Do not stop taking mycophenolate mofetil without checking first with your doctor. Doing so may cause rejection of your transplanted organ. Your doctor will decide how long you should take mycophenolate mofetil.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
