Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a sickness with high rate of mortality that consists of elevation in pressure of the vessels through which blood flows to the lung. Sildenafil is a therapeutic option for the treatment of PAH in children for the fact that it relaxes the blood vessels and thereby improves pulmonary blood flow. The aim was to analyze the clinical behavior of an extemporaneous formulation of sildenafil as a therapeutic option in children with PAH, twelve children with PAH were studied. The ages and weights of the children ranged from 5 to 15 years and from 13 to 27 kg. All patients received a capsule of 1 mg/kg of sildenafil prepared as extemporaneous formulation in the pharmacology laboratory. Blood levels of sildenafil were analyzed in order to evaluate its availability of developed formulation. Management has derived from physiopathological knowledge and clinical presentations of patients. The mean maximum concentration was 550 ng/ml which is greater than levels reported in adults. Moreover, a therapeutic monitoring of sildenafil was carried out in order to establish an adequate therapeutic range for children and to show that dosages prepared extemporaneously meet the therapeutic needs for the management of PAH. With an average follow-up of once every 2 months, it was found that the evolution of the patients was favorable and without adverse effects that could put their life at risk. The management of PAH with sildenafil prepared as extemporaneous formulation might be considered as a good therapeutic option.
