Contraindications

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS REVATIO is contraindicated in patients with: • Concomitant use of organic nitrates in any form, either regularly or intermittently, because of the greater risk of hypotension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . • Concomitant use of riociguat, a guanylate cyclase stimulator. Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors, including sildenafil, may potentiate the hypotensive effects of riociguat. • Known hypersensitivity to sildenafil or any component of the tablet, injection, or oral suspension. Hypersensitivity, including anaphylactic reaction, anaphylactic shock and anaphylactoid reaction, has been reported in association with the use of sildenafil. • Use with organic nitrates or riociguat. ( 4 ) • History of hypersensitivity reaction to sildenafil or any component of the tablet, injection, or oral suspension. ( 4 )

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Nitrates Concomitant use of REVATIO with nitrates in any form is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4) ] . Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Concomitant use of REVATIO with strong CYP3A inhibitors is not recommended [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Moderate-to-Strong CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use of REVATIO with moderate-to-strong CYP3A inducers (such as bosentan) decreases the sildenafil exposure. Dose up-titration of REVATIO may be needed when initiating treatment with moderate-to-strong CYP3A inducers. Reduce the dose of REVATIO to 20 mg three times a day when discontinuing treatment with moderate-to-strong CYP3A inducers [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14) ] . • Use with strong CYP3A inhibitors: Not recommended. ( 7 , 12.3 ) • Concomitant PDE-5 inhibitors: Avoid use with Viagra ® or other PDE-5 inhibitors. ( 5.6 )
