Sildenafil Tablets may be used as a treatment for pulmonary hypertension in animals. It can reduce pulmonary arterial pressure, alleviate clinical signs, and improve exercise capacity and quality of life. Tablets sold individually per 20 mg.How it Works

Pulmonary hypertension is abnormally high blood pressure within the lung arteries. This causes the right side of the heart to work too hard. Sildenafil relaxes the smooth muscle around the small blood vessels within the lungs, which decreases the heart's workload. This medication works to improve overall quality of life, tolerance to exercise, and energy levels of animals suffering from pulmonary hypertension.

Special Precautions

Drug interactions can occur when Sildenafil is administered with rifampin, phenobarbital, itraconazole, ketoconazole, clarithromycin, erythromycin, and cimetidine.
Do not administer with drugs that can lower blood pressure, including hypotensive drugs, amlodipine, alpha-adrenergic blockers (including phenothiazines, phenoxybenzamine, and phentolamine), nitroprusside sodium, and nitrates.
Never administer to a human.
Only administer this medication to the animal it was prescribed to treat.
Keep away from animals and children.
