PROCOPS, MALE ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ED

Sexual dysfunction (ED, "male impotence") characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual performance.
A penile erection is the hydraulic effect of entering and being retained in sponge-like bodies within the penis. but no any more with the New discovery and technology we become to produce a NEW product to alleviate this evil.

PROCOPS 50 COMPR.

Division: MEDICAL
Active Ingredient: Sildenafil Citrate
Coated tablets.
ORAL THERAPY FOR MALE ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Formula: Each tablet contains 50 PROCOPS:
Sildenafil citrate 70.24 mg (equivalent to Sildenafil 50mg ..........................Excipients ................................................. ....................................... Cs.

Properties:
Sildenafil citrate is a modern therapeutic agent for oral treatment of erectile dysfunction. Physiologically penile erection is due to the release of nitric oxide at the cavernous body during sexual stimulation stage. Nitric oxide causes the activation of the enzyme guanylate cyclase that causes increased cGMP concentration that by relaxing the smooth muscle of corpus cavernosum allows increased blood flow to that level.
PROCOPS Sildenafil enhances the effect of nitric oxide by inhibiting the enzyme (phosphodiesterase type 5) responsible for degradation of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum, thus causing an increase in the concentration of cGMP produced by nitric oxide action on the stage sexual stimulation giving rise to smooth muscle relaxation and more blood, responsible for erection.
PROCOPS used at the recommended dose does not produce an erection in the absence of sexual stimulation.

Pharmacokinetics:
After oral administration is rapidly absorbed in the digestive tract with a bioavailability of 40% plasma peaking between 30 and 120 minutes.; The high-fat foods reduce these values. It has a wide distribution and plasma distribution. Its protein binding is 90%. It is metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450 giving rise to its main metabolite N-desmethyl with an average life of approximately 4 hours. The serum concentration of this metabolite is 40% compared to the parent drug, which indicates that is responsible for 20% of its share 80% is eliminated via feces and only 13% in urine. The erectile nswer increases with increasing dose and plasma concentration Its action starts at 30 minutes and the duration of effect is up to 4 hours, but with a lower response compared with that obtained at 2 hours. The peak of the action obtained between 30 and 120 minutes.

Dosage:
The average dose is recommended 50mg/día (1 tablet of Procops 50) administered 1 hour before intercourse, although there may be between ½ hour and 4 hours before sexual activity. The dosage range varies from 25 to 100 mg.según tolerance and efficacy. Management should always be done once a day.In people over 65 years is advisable to start with 25mg/día.

Adverse Reactions:
With an incidence of about 2% can be recorded: headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, myalgia, impaired color vision, diarrhea, photophobia, blurred vision, dysuria, cystitis, pruritis, bone pain, angina pectoris, hypotension, palpitations, migraine, edema, hyperglycemia, myocardial ischemia, orthostatic, sleep disturbances, paresthesia, tremor, dizziness, insomnia, colitis, vomiting, bronchoconstriction, laryngitis, sinusitis, abnormal ejaculation, urinary incontinence and other less frequent.

Cautions and warnings:
Before starting any treatment with sildenafil should be assessed PROCOPS patient's cardiovascular status. It is advisable to combine with other drugs PROCOPS sildenafil for the treatment of sexual disfunsíon or patients with anatomical penile deformities, calcification, cavernosal fibrosis, angulation, Peyronie's disease or diseases that predispose them to priapism such as myeloma, sickle cell anemia, leukemia.In patients with a history of peptic ulcer, hemorrhagic diseases, retinitis pigmentosa should be managed carefully.Elderly (over 65) should be administered with caution starting with lower doses than usual, due to decreased plasma clearance.This product does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases including HIV / AIDS at the precautions to be taken in each case.

Contraindications:
Embarazadas.Cardiopatias women and children. Liver or kidney failure. Dyscrasias. Allergy to sildenafil. Agents Nitrate or nitrite donors (nitroprusside).

Interactions:
Inhibitors of cytochrome P450 such as erythromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole may increase levels of sildenafil PROCOPS. Inducers of this system (rifampin) decrease its concentration. Administered with nitroprusside hypotensive effects of the latter. Cimetidine increases the concentrations of sildenafil.
