Drug data last refreshed 2d ago
REVATIO (sildenafil citrate) is an intravenous phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor approved in November 2009 for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in adults.

It is indicated to improve exercise ability and delay clinical worsening in WHO Group I PAH patients. REVATIO demonstrates approximately 4,000-fold selectivity for PDE-5 over PDE-3, preserving cardiac contractility while providing targeted pulmonary vascular effects.
PDE-5 in the smooth muscle of the pulmonary vasculature, where PDE-5 is responsible for degradation of cGMP.

Remaining roles would primarily involve brand defense and generic transition planning (brand managers, market access specialists, MSLs focused on reimbursement strategy). Key skills needed include pricing strategy, payer negotiation, and lifecycle management experience for mature products transitioning to generic competition. Career advancement on this product is constrained by declining commercial opportunity as it enters the generic phase.
