Following a review of the data from these first 4 subjects (details provided below), the sildenafil citrate dose was reduced to 25 mg. Thereafter, 17 subjects were treated with Sildenafil citrate 25 mg or matching placebo in combination with doxazosin 4 mg (15 subjects) or doxazosin 8 mg (2 subjects). The mean subject age was 66.5 years.For the 17 subjects who received sildenafil citrate 25 mg and matching placebo, the placebo-subtracted mean maximum decreases from baseline (95% CI) in systolic blood pressure were as follows:The mean profiles of the change from baseline in standing systolic blood pressure in subjects treated with doxazosin in combination with 25 mg Sildenafil citrate or matching placebo are shown in Figure 2.Figure 2: Mean Standing Systolic Blood Pressure Change from BaselineBlood pressure was measured immediately pre-dose and at 15, 30, 45 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6 and 8 hours after sildenafil citrate or matching placebo. Outliers were defined as subjects with a standing systolic blood pressure of <85 mmHg or a decrease from baseline in standing systolic blood pressure of >30 mmHg at one or more timepoints. There were no subjects treated with sildenafil citrate 25 mg who had a standing SBP < 85mmHg. There were three subjects with a decrease from baseline in standing systolic BP >30mmHg following sildenafil citrate 25 mg, one subject with a decrease from baseline in standing systolic BP > 30 mmHg following placebo and two subjects with a decrease from baseline in standing systolic BP > 30 mmHg following both sildenafil citrate and placebo. No severe adverse events potentially related to blood pressure effects were reported in this group.Of the four subjects who received sildenafil citrate 100 mg in the first part of this study, a severe adverse event related to blood pressure effect was reported in one patient (postural hypotension that began 35 minutes after dosing with sildenafil citrate with symptoms lasting for 8 hours), and mild adverse events potentially related to blood pressure effects were reported in two others (dizziness, headache and fatigue at 1 hour after dosing; and dizziness, lightheadedness and nausea at 4 hours after dosing). There were no reports of syncope among these patients. For these four subjects, the placebo-subtracted mean maximum decreases from baseline in supine and standing systolic blood pressures were 14.8 mmHg and 21.5 mmHg, respectively. Two of these subjects had a standing SBP < 85mmHg. Both of these subjects were protocol violators, one due to a low baseline standing SBP, and the other due to baseline orthostatic hypotension.Study 2: Sildenafil citrate with DoxazosinIn the second study, a single oral dose of sildenafil citrate 50 mg or matching placebo was administered in a 2-period crossover design to 20 generally healthy males with BPH. Following at least 14 consecutive days of doxazosin, sildenafil citrate 50 mg or matching placebo was administered simultaneously with doxazosin 4 mg (17 subjects) or with doxazosin 8 mg (3 subjects). The mean subject age in this sildenafil oral jelly 100 mg study was 63.9 years.Twenty subjects received sildenafil citrate 50 mg, but only 19 subjects received matching placebo.
| Medication Class | Interaction Type | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nitrates | Additive hypotensive effect | Severe blood pressure drop | Contraindicated |
| Alpha-blockers | Enhanced vasodilation | Risk of hypotension | Use with caution |
| CYP3A4 Inhibitors | Increased sildenafil levels | Higher risk of side effects | Dose adjustment may be required |
| Other PDE5 inhibitors | Additive effect | Increased efficacy or side effects | Not recommended to combine |
One patient discontinued the study prematurely due to an adverse event of hypotension following dosing with sildenafil citrate 50 mg. This patient had been taking minoxidil, a potent vasodilator, during the study.For the 19 subjects who received both sildenafil citrate and matching placebo, the placebo-subtracted mean maximum decreases from baseline (95% CI) in systolic blood pressure were as follows:The mean profiles of the change from baseline in standing systolic blood pressure in subjects treated with doxazosin in combination with 50 mg sildenafil citrate or matching placebo are shown in Figure 3.Figure 3: Mean Standing Systolic Blood Pressure Change from BaselineBlood pressure was measured after administration of sildenafil citrate at the same times as those specified for the first doxazosin study. There were two subjects who had a standing SBP of < 85 mmHg. In these two subjects, hypotension was reported as a moderately severe adverse event, beginning at approximately 1 hour after administration of sildenafil citrate 50 mg and resolving after approximately 7.5 hours.
If a subject did not successfully complete this first dosing period, he was discontinued from the study. Subjects who had successfully completed the previous doxazosin interaction study (using sildenafil citrate 50 mg), including no significant hemodynamic adverse events, were allowed to skip dose period 1. Treatment with doxazosin continued for at least 7 days after dose period 1. Thereafter, sildenafil citrate 100 mg or matching placebo was administered simultaneously with doxazosin 4 mg (14 subjects) or doxazosin 8 mg (6 subjects) in standard sildenafil cenforce crossover fashion. The mean subject age in this study was 66.4 years.Twenty-five subjects were screened.
Two were discontinued after study period 1: one failed to meet pre-dose screening qualifications and the other experienced symptomatic hypotension as a moderately severe adverse event 30 minutes after dosing with open-label sildenafil citrate 50 mg. Of the twenty subjects who were ultimately assigned to treatment, a total of 13 subjects successfully completed dose period 1, and seven had successfully completed the previous doxazosin study (using sildenafil citrate 50 mg).For the 20 subjects who received sildenafil citrate 100 mg and matching placebo, the placebo-subtracted mean maximum decreases from baseline (95% CI) in systolic blood pressure were as follows:The mean profiles of the change from baseline in standing systolic blood pressure in subjects treated with doxazosin in combination with 100 mg sildenafil citrate or matching placebo are shown in Figure 4.Figure 4: Mean Standing Systolic Blood Pressure Change from BaselineBlood pressure was measured after administration of sildenafil citrate at the same times as those specified for the previous doxazosin studies. There were three subjects who had a standing SBP of < 85 mmHg. All three were taking sildenafil citrate 100 mg, and all three reported mild adverse events at the time of reductions in standing SBP, including vasodilation and lightheadedness. There were four subjects with a decrease from baseline in standing systolic BP > 30 mmHg following sildenafil citrate 100 mg, one subject with a decrease from baseline in standing systolic BP > 30 mmHg following placebo and one subject with a decrease from baseline in standing systolic BP > 30 mmHg following both sildenafil citrate and placebo. There was one subject with a decrease from baseline in standing systolic BP >30mmHg following sildenafil citrate 50 mg and one subject with a decrease from baseline in standing systolic BP > 30 mmHg following both sildenafil citrate 50 mg and placebo. There were no severe adverse events potentially related to blood pressure and no episodes of syncope reported in this study.Study 3: Sildenafil citrate with DoxazosinIn the third study, a single oral dose of sildenafil citrate 100 mg or matching placebo was administered in a 3-period crossover design to 20 generally healthy males with BPH. In dose period 1, subjects were administered open-label doxazosin and a single dose of sildenafil citrate 50 mg simultaneously, after at least 14 consecutive days of doxazosin. If a subject did not successfully complete this first dosing period, he was discontinued from the study. Subjects who had successfully completed the previous doxazosin interaction study (using sildenafil citrate 50 mg), including no significant hemodynamic adverse events, were allowed to skip dose period 1. Treatment with doxazosin continued for at least 7 days after dose period 1.

The maximum observed decrease in systolic blood pressure was -18.5 mmHg when sildenafil was co-administered with alcohol versus -17.4 mmHg when alcohol was administered alone. The maximum observed decrease in diastolic blood pressure was -17.2 mmHg when sildenafil was co-administered with alcohol versus -11.1 mmHg when alcohol was administered alone. There were no reports of postural dizziness or sildenafil tablet manforce 50 mg orthostatic hypotension.
The maximum recommended dose of 100 mg sildenafil was not evaluated in this study [ see Drug Interactions (7.5)].Effects of Sildenafil citrate on Cardiac Parameters:Single oral doses of sildenafil up to 100 mg produced no clinically relevant changes in the ECGs of normal male volunteers.Studies have produced relevant data on the effects of sildenafil citrate on cardiac output. In one small, open-label, uncontrolled, pilot study, eight patients with stable ischemic heart disease underwent Swan-Ganz catheterization. A total dose of 40 mg sildenafil was administered by four intravenous infusions.The results from this pilot study are shown in Table 3; the mean resting systolic and diastolic blood pressures decreased by 7% and 10% compared to baseline in these patients. Mean resting values for right atrial pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary artery occluded pressure and cardiac output decreased by 28%, 28%, 20% and 7% respectively. Even though this total dosage produced plasma sildenafil concentrations which were approximately 2 to 5 times higher than the mean maximum plasma concentrations following a single oral dose of 100 mg in healthy male volunteers, the hemodynamic response to exercise was preserved in these patients.In a double-blind study, 144 patients with erectile dysfunction and chronic stable angina limited by exercise, not receiving chronic oral nitrates, were randomized to a single dose of placebo or sildenafil citrate 100 mg 1 hour prior to exercise testing. The maximum observed decrease in systolic blood pressure was -18.5 mmHg when sildenafil was co-administered with alcohol versus -17.4 mmHg when alcohol was administered alone. The maximum observed decrease in diastolic blood pressure was -17.2 mmHg when sildenafil was co-administered with alcohol versus -11.1 mmHg when alcohol was administered alone.
