How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Sildenafil 1 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded medication primarily used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Its mechanism of action involves the relaxation of muscles in the blood vessel walls, which subsequently widens them and enhances blood flow to the penis, lungs, and prostate. This improved blood circulation aids in alleviating symptoms associated with these medical conditions.

The medication is administered orally, typically at a dosage of 1-2 mg per day. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider. The onset of action for this medication may take up to an hour, hence it is recommended to take it at least an hour prior to engaging in sexual activity. It is also imperative to remember that this medication should not be consumed more than once within a 24-hour period.

If you have any queries or concerns regarding the administration of Sildenafil 1 mg/ml Oral Suspension, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with comprehensive guidance tailored to your specific health condition and medication regimen.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

Sildenafil 1 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded formulation that can be used to treat a variety of conditions. It is primarily known for its use in treating erectile dysfunction, but it also has other potential applications. For instance, it may be used to treat high blood pressure in the lungs, a condition known as pulmonary hypertension. This includes chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Additionally, Sildenafil 1 mg/ml Oral Suspension may be used to alleviate certain types of chest pain, such as angina, and to improve exercise capacity in both men and women. It may also be beneficial for individuals suffering from Raynaud's Syndrome, a condition characterized by spasms in the small blood vessels of the fingers and toes. These spasms can limit blood flow to the area, causing pain and discoloration.

Furthermore, Sildenafil 1 mg/ml Oral Suspension may be used to treat Peyronie's Disease, a condition in which scar tissue forms in the penis, causing it to bend or curve during an erection. It may also be used to treat Priapism, a condition characterized by an erection that lasts for more than four hours.

If you have any questions about the use of Sildenafil 1 mg/ml Oral Suspension for any of these conditions, please do not hesitate to reach out for more information. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
