3. Uses and indications of Staga 50

3.1. Staga 50 Pharmacodynamics Staga 50 is the citrate salt form of Sildenafil, commonly used by mouth to help treat erectile dysfunction in men. The ingredient sildenafil in the drug has the ability to selectively inhibit cyclic guanosin monophosphate - specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5).
During sexual stimulation, the physiological mechanism of penile erection is accompanied by the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the corpus cavernosum, which activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase to increase the concentration of cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate). . As a result, the vascular smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosum is relaxed and promotes blood flow to the penis. This helps men prolong the time of penile erection as well as sexual intercourse.
Sildenafil ingredient in Staga 50 has the ability to increase the effect of nitric oxide through inhibiting PDE5 - the substance that helps to break down cGMP in the corpus cavernosum. During sexual stimulation, NO will be released locally along with inhibition of PDE5 causing cGMP content to increase, thereby relaxing smooth muscle and helping blood flow to the corpus cavernosum better.
Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of the Sildenafil component of Staga 50 will be dose proportional within the recommended dose range. The absolute bioavailability of Sildenafil averages about 41%, which is rapidly absorbed after oral administration. Sildenafil is centrally distributed to tissues, with a mean volume of distribution of 105 L.
Once absorbed and distributed into tissues, Sildenafil is metabolised by the hepatic enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. Through N-desmethylation, major metabolites of Sildenafil are generated and the metabolism continues. The half-life of the N-desmethyl metabolite is usually within 4 hours.
At the end of metabolism, Sildenafil will be excreted in the feces as metabolites (accounting for about 80% of the oral dose) and a small amount in the urine (accounting for about 13% of the oral dose). The total clearance of Sildenafil is 41 L/hr, where the terminal half-life is 3 – 5 hours.

Treatment of erectile dysfunction (the inability to maintain or achieve an erection of the penis to satisfy the sexual activity); Used for men who want to prolong sex; Men with spermatozoa, premature ejaculation or physiological weakness.

*For the elderly: No dosage adjustment is required.
*For patients with hepatic impairment: Because clearance of the drug is reduced in subjects with hepatic impairment or cirrhosis, the recommended dose for this subject is 25 mg.
*For patients with renal impairment: Creatinine clearance is between 30 - 80 mL/min, so people with mild to moderate renal impairment can take the usual dose without any adjustment. For severe acute renal failure and creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min, a dose of 25 mg is recommended.
*Note: The above dosage is for reference only, so patients need to discuss carefully with their doctor to get a dose suitable for their condition and progression of the disease.
