SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Sildenafil Aspen 25mg Film-coated tablets 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each tablet contains 25 mg of sildenafil (as citrate) For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Film-coated tablet. Sildenafil Aspen 25 mg film-coated tablets Blue, round (diameter approx. 7.1 mm), biconvex, film coated tablets, debossed with ‘86’on one side and plain on the other side. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Treatment of men with erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. In order for Sildenafil Aspen to be effective, sexual stimulation is required. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION For oral use. USE IN ADULTS: The recommended dose is 50 mg taken as needed approximately one hour before sexual activity. Based on efficacy and toleration, the dose may be increased to 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day. If Sildenafil Aspen is taken with food, the onset of activity may be delayed compared to the fasted state (see section 5.2). USE IN THE ELDERLY: Dosage adjustments are not required in elderly patients. USE IN PATIENTS WITH IMPAIRED RENAL FUNCTION: The dosing recommendations described in ‘Use in adults’ apply to patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance = 30 - 80 ml/min). Since sildenafil clearance is reduced in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 ml/min) a 25 mg dose should be considered. Based on efficacy and toleration, the dose may be increased to 50 mg and 100 mg. USE IN PATIENTS WITH IMPAIRED HEPATIC FUNCTION: Read the complete document
