Revatio (Sildenafil Citrate) - Indications and Dosage

 
 



INDICATIONS AND USAGE

REVATIO® is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (WHO Group I) to improve exercise ability and delay clinical worsening. The delay in clinical worsening was demonstrated when REVATIO was added to background epoprostenol therapy [see Clinical Studies].

Limitation of Use

The efficacy of REVATIO has not been adequately evaluated in patients taking bosentan concurrently.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

The recommended dose of REVATIO is 20 mg three times a day (TID). REVATIO tablets should be taken approximately 4—6 hours apart, with or without food.

In the clinical trial no greater efficacy was achieved with the use of higher doses. Treatment with doses higher than 20 mg TID is not recommended. Dosages lower than 20 mg TID were not tested. Whether dosages lower than 20 mg TID are effective is not known.
