Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded medication that is utilized in the treatment of various health conditions. This includes erectile dysfunction, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and Raynaud's phenomenon. In the context of erectile dysfunction, sildenafil functions by enhancing blood flow to the penis, thereby facilitating an erection. For pulmonary arterial hypertension, it operates by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs, which improves blood flow and oxygenation. In the case of Raynaud's phenomenon, sildenafil increases blood flow to the affected areas, mitigating the frequency and severity of attacks.

This oral suspension is a liquid dosage form in which one or more ingredients are uniformly dispersed throughout a liquid medium. This ensures a homogeneous mixture for administration, making it easy to consume and generally associated with minimal side effects. Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension is available in various strengths and can be ingested with or without food. However, it is crucial to remember that sildenafil should not be consumed in conjunction with certain medications, such as nitrates, as this can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

At Bayview Pharmacy, our team of compounding pharmacists is well-versed and experienced in preparing Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension. If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can be utilized to manage your condition, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to assist you.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of conditions such as erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension. This liquid dosage form ensures a uniform dispersion of the active ingredient, sildenafil, throughout the liquid medium, providing a homogeneous mixture for administration.

It is important to note that this medication should be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment, as it may increase the risk of hepatotoxicity. Close monitoring is also advised for patients with renal impairment to watch for signs of toxicity. Sildenafil is contraindicated in patients taking nitrates or alpha-blockers due to the potential for a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Patients taking antifungal medications, HIV protease inhibitors, or antibiotics should also exercise caution when taking sildenafil, as these medications may interact with it. Potential side effects of sildenafil may include dizziness, headache, flushing, and nausea. It is recommended that patients discuss any concerns or questions about the use of Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension with their healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded medication designed to treat a variety of conditions including erectile dysfunction, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. This medication functions by relaxing the muscles within the walls of blood vessels, allowing them to expand and increase blood flow to the penis, lungs, and prostate. The enhanced blood flow aids in alleviating symptoms associated with these conditions.

For the treatment of erectile dysfunction, sildenafil is typically taken as required, generally 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to sexual activity. The dosage can be adjusted based on the patient's response. In the case of pulmonary arterial hypertension, sildenafil is usually taken once daily, preferably in the morning. Again, the dosage can be adjusted based on the patient's response. For benign prostatic hyperplasia, sildenafil is typically taken once daily, usually in the evening. The dosage can be adjusted based on the patient's response.

Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension should be consumed with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food. It is crucial to take sildenafil exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not take more or less than the recommended dose or take it more frequently than prescribed.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded formulation that can be used to treat a variety of conditions. One of its primary uses is for the treatment of high blood pressure in the lungs, also known as pulmonary hypertension. This includes chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, a condition where blood clots form in the lungs, and pulmonary arterial hypertension, a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart.

Another potential use for Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension is in the treatment of Raynaud's Syndrome. This is a condition where the small blood vessels in the fingers and toes become narrowed, leading to decreased blood flow. This can result in the affected areas feeling cold and numb, particularly in response to cold temperatures or stress.

Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension may also be used to treat priapism, a condition where an erection lasts for more than four hours without sexual stimulation. This can be a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention to prevent long-term damage.

Finally, Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension can be used to treat Peyronie's Disease, a condition where the penis becomes curved due to the buildup of scar tissue. This can cause pain and difficulty with sexual intercourse.

If you have any questions about the use of Sildenafil 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension for any of these conditions, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

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.
