Introduction: This placebo-controlled, open-label, crossover study was conducted to evaluate the safety and orthostatic effects of coadministration of silodosin and PDE-5 inhibitors.
Methods: Twenty-two 45- to78-year-old healthy men received 8 mg silodosin for 21 days; on days 7, 14, and 21, subjects received in random sequence a single dose of 100 mg sildenafil, 20 mg tadalafil, or placebo. Supine (baseline) and standing orthostatic measurements were performed 0 hr (predose) to 12 hr after single-dose treatment. A positive orthostatic test was defined as a decrease in systolic (or diastolic) blood pressure by >30 (or >20) mm Hg, increased heart rate (>20 bpm), or orthostatic symptoms on change of position.
Results: Mean changes from baseline in 1 min-standing orthostatic tests were similar for all treatment groups (Table). The cumulative number of positive orthostatic tests was similar for all treatments in 16 subjects <65 years (sildenafil, 52; tadalafil, 55; placebo, 49) and in 6 subjects ≥65 years (sildenafil, 12; tadalafil, 11; placebo, 9). No treatment-related adverse events of symptomatic orthostasis or dizziness were reported. No serious adverse events occurred during the study.
Conclusions: Concomitant use of silodosin and maximum doses of sildenafil or tadalafil in healthy men caused no clinically important changes in blood pressure, heart rate, or orthostatic symptoms.
