Warning :
Cardiovascular effects Savitra-20
General : Physicians should consider the cardiovascular status of their patients, since there is a degree of cardiac risk associated with sexual activity. In men for whom sexual activity is not recommended because of their underlying cardiovascular status any treatment for erectile dysfunction, including SAVITRA, generally should not be used.
Other Effects
There have been rare reports of prolonged erections greater than 4 hours and priapism (painful erections greater than 6 hours in duration) for this class of compounds, including vardenafil. In the event that an erection persists longer than 4 hours, the patient should seek immediate medical assistance. If priapism is not treated immediately, penile tissue damage and permanent loss of potency may result.
Precautions
The evaluation of erectile dysfunction should include a determination of potential underlying causes, a medical assessment, and the identification of appropriate treatment.
Dosage and Administration:
For most patients, the recommended starting dose of SAVITRA is 10 mg, taken orally approximately 60 minutes before sexual activity. The dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 20 mg or decreased to based on efficacy and side effects. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day. Savitra-20 can be taken with or without food. Sexual stimulation is required for a response to treatment.
