Abstract
We report significant hypotension and prerenal failure in an extremely preterm infant following two doses of oral sildenafil that warranted discontinuation of the drug and treatment with inotropes. Blood pressure and urine output normalized after 24 h of withdrawal of the oral drug. Sildenafil should be used cautiously in extremely preterm infants early in the neonatal course, where there is limited data on its efficacy and safety.Entities:
