Viagra warnings: Pregnancy, Nursing Mothers and Pediatric Use

Start

VIAGRA is not indicated for use in newborns, children, or women.
Pregnancy Category B

No evidence of teratogenicity, embryotoxicity or fetotoxicity was observed in rats and rabbits which received up to 200 mg/kg/day during organogenesis. These doses represent, respectively, about 20 and 40 times the MRHD on a mg/m2 basis in a 50 kg subject. In the rat pre- and postnatal development study, the no observed adverse effect dose was 30 mg/kg/day given for 36 days. In the nonpregnant rat the AUC at this dose was about 20 times human AUC. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of sildenafil in pregnant women.
Geriatric Use

Healthy elderly volunteers (65 years or over) had a reduced clearance of sildenafil. Since higher plasma levels may increase both the efficacy and incidence of adverse events, a starting dose of 25 mg should be considered
