21
Q

3 PDE5 inhibitors

A
  • Sildenafil (Viagra)
  • Tadalafil (Cialis)
  • Vardenafil (Levitra)
22
Q

Compare the time of peak concentration for the 3 PDE5 inhibitors

A
  • Viagra = 1 hr
  • Cialis = 2 hours (slowest)
  • Levitra = 0.7 - 0.9 hours (shortest)

NOTE: Drug effects may be seen BEFORE peaks

23
Q

compare the half-lives of the 3 PDE5 inhibitors

A
  • Viagra = 4 hours
  • Cialis = 17.5 hours
  • Levitra = 4-5 hours
24
Q

Which PDE5 inhibitors can affect food absorption (slow it down)

A

Viagra and maybe Levitra

25
Q

4 common side effects that one can experience from ALL PDE5 inhibitors

A
  • Headache
  • Flushing
  • Dyspepsia
  • Nasal congestion
26
Q

Common side effect that one can experience with sildenafil and vardenafil only

A

Altered vision

27
Q

Common side effect of tadalafil only

28
Q

Absolute contraindication of PDE5 inhibitors

A

Concomitant usage of nitroglycerine in any form

29
Q

Why is nitroglycerine use contraindicated with PDE5 inhibitor use?

A

Any PDE5 inhibitor can potentiate the hypotensive effect of nitroglycerine and so you must not use them within the same 24 hour period (48 hours for tadalafil)

30
Q

4 alternatives to PDE5 inhibitors to help rectify ED

34
Q

Pro of MUSE

A

35
Q

Con for MUSE

A

Only >50% effective

36
Q

4 substances involved in intracavernous injection therapy
