Super P-Force (Sildenafil with Dapoxetine) — Patient Information (UK)
Super P-Force is a combination medicine containing sildenafil and dapoxetine. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE) when both conditions occur together. This patient-friendly guide explains how it works, how to take it, safety considerations, interactions, and what to expect.
Note: Always read the package leaflet supplied with your medicine and follow advice from your healthcare professional. Individual suitability can vary, particularly if you have other medical conditions or take other medicines.
Basic product information
- Product name: Super P-Force
- Composition: Sildenafil + Dapoxetine
- Common uses: Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation
- Availability (UK): Online pharmacy availability may vary depending on stock, supplier, and regulatory requirements
- Form: Oral tablets (strengths may vary by product batch; check your label)
Strengths: Super P-Force is typically marketed in combinations such as sildenafil 50 mg with dapoxetine 60 mg, but strengths can differ by brand/variant. Confirm the exact strengths on your box before use.
What it’s used for (indications)
Super P-Force is used in adults for:
- Erectile dysfunction (ED): Difficulty achieving and/or maintaining an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity
- Premature ejaculation (PE): Persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation, occurring before or shortly after penetration, and causing distress
Because it combines two medicines with different actions, it may be considered when a person experiences both ED and PE at the same time.
How it works (mechanism of action)
Sildenafil (for erections)
Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. In simple terms:
- During sexual stimulation, the body releases nitric oxide in the genital tissues.
- This increases levels of a substance called cGMP, which helps relax smooth muscle in penile blood vessels.
- Relaxed blood vessels allow more blood flow into the penis, supporting an erection.
Sildenafil helps the effect of cGMP last longer by blocking the enzyme that breaks it down (PDE5). It does not automatically create an erection without sexual stimulation.
Dapoxetine (for premature ejaculation)
Dapoxetine is an antidepressant medicine designed specifically for PE treatment. It is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) with rapid action.
- It increases serotonin signalling in the brain.
- This can help extend the time to ejaculation and improve control.
Because dapoxetine acts on ejaculation control and sildenafil supports erection quality, the combination may help with both problems in one product.
Pharmacokinetics (how the body processes it)
Pharmacokinetics describes absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. Exact rates can vary by individual and by product formulation, but the following provides a helpful overview of how the components behave.
Sildenafil
- Absorption: Sildenafil is absorbed after taking a tablet and typically reaches peak blood levels after about ~1 hour (sometimes longer).
- Distribution: It binds to plasma proteins and spreads through the bloodstream.
- Metabolism: Mainly metabolised in the liver (particularly by CYP enzymes such as CYP3A4).
- Elimination: Ultimately cleared via metabolism and elimination processes, with an effective duration that can last several hours.
Dapoxetine
- Absorption: Dapoxetine is absorbed and typically reaches peak levels in around ~1–2 hours.
- Metabolism: Processed primarily by the liver.
- Elimination: Cleared through metabolism and excretion.
In practice, the combination often means both components contribute within the same general time window, so timing before sex is important for the best experience.
Typical use in adults
Super P-Force is commonly used on-demand before sexual activity for those who have both ED and PE. Some people may prefer taking it in a predictable schedule for special occasions, while others use it flexibly when planning sex.
Important: It should not be used more frequently than directed on the specific product instructions/leaflet.
Timing and when it starts working
For many users:
- Sildenafil usually begins to work in about 30–60 minutes, with effects lasting for several hours.
- Dapoxetine often begins working within roughly 1–2 hours, depending on the person and conditions.
Practical tip: Many people aim to take the tablet approximately 1 hour before anticipated sexual activity. If you find the effect is weaker or later, adjust timing gradually (within safe limits) and consider food effects (see below).
Always follow the dosing instructions on your pack, because individual strengths and manufacturer guidance may differ.
Food interactions (including fatty meals)
Food can affect how well and how quickly these medicines work.
- Fatty or heavy meals may slow down absorption of sildenafil, making the onset slower.
- High-fat meals can reduce the speed of onset, and in some people the overall effect may feel delayed.
What to do:
- Consider taking Super P-Force on a lighter stomach or after a light meal.
- If you eat a heavy meal, you may need to take it earlier (but do not exceed the maximum frequency stated for your product).
- Avoid very large meals right before taking the tablet if you want the fastest onset.
Alcohol interactions
Alcohol may affect sexual performance and can increase side effects such as headache, dizziness, and low blood pressure in some people.
- Light to moderate alcohol may be tolerated by some users.
- Heavy drinking can increase the risk of dizziness, fainting, and reduced erection quality.
Safety advice: If you choose to drink, keep amounts moderate and be cautious if you feel light-headed. Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel dizzy.
Medicine interactions (important safety section)
Because Super P-Force contains two active medicines, it has several interaction considerations. Some combinations can be dangerous or require strict medical review.
Absolute or serious contraindications
Do not use Super P-Force if you take medicines that cause dangerous interactions with sildenafil, particularly:
- Nitrates (e.g., glyceryl trinitrate/nitroglycerin, isosorbide) used for chest pain
- “Poppers” containing amyl nitrite or similar nitrites
This is due to the risk of a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Also avoid if you take certain medicines that raise serotonin levels or affect serotonin pathways in a way that could increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Examples may include:
- MAO inhibitors (certain antidepressants)
- Some antidepressants affecting serotonin (varies by medicine)
- Linezolid (an antibiotic with MAOI-like activity)
- Triptans used for migraines (depending on your specific prescription)
Seek medical guidance if you are unsure whether your medicines fall into these categories.
Other notable interaction categories
- Blood pressure medicines: Sildenafil can lower blood pressure. In combination with certain antihypertensives, dizziness may occur.
- Alpha-blockers (for prostate symptoms or blood pressure): Taking both can cause low blood pressure in some people. Your regimen and spacing matter.
- Strong liver enzyme inhibitors (CYP3A4 inhibitors): These can increase sildenafil or dapoxetine levels, raising side effect risk.
- Strong enzyme inducers: These can reduce effectiveness.
- Other SSRIs/SNRIs or serotonergic drugs: Increased risk of side effects and serotonin syndrome.
- Antipsychotics or other medicines that affect heart rhythm: Dapoxetine can be associated with changes that make heart rhythm risks more relevant for some individuals.
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice
Grapefruit may affect the breakdown of sildenafil and potentially increase side effects. It’s often advised to avoid or limit grapefruit products while using PDE5 inhibitors.
Safety profile: who should be cautious
Super P-Force may not be suitable for everyone. Review the safety points below carefully.
Common side effects
Side effects vary by person and dose. Report persistent or severe symptoms to a clinician or pharmacist.
- Headache
- Flushing
- Indigestion or nausea
- Dizziness
- Sleepiness or fatigue
- Dry mouth
- Diarrhoea (can occur with dapoxetine)
More serious symptoms (seek urgent help)
Stop taking and seek urgent medical attention if you experience:
- Chest pain or symptoms of a serious heart problem
- Fainting or severe dizziness
- Signs of an allergic reaction (swelling of face/lips, breathing difficulties, severe rash)
- Symptoms of serotonin syndrome such as high fever, agitation, confusion, heavy sweating, tremor, or muscle stiffness
- Sudden vision or hearing changes
- Prolonged erection (a painful erection lasting longer than the time limits stated in the leaflet—this requires urgent care)
Special caution groups
- Heart conditions: Because sildenafil affects blood vessels, caution is important in people with certain cardiovascular diseases.
- Low blood pressure or risk of fainting: Dizziness and fainting risk may be increased.
- Liver impairment: Reduced ability to metabolise medicines can increase exposure.
- Kidney impairment: Dosing may need adjustment depending on severity.
- History of depression or bipolar disorder: Dapoxetine can influence mood in some people.
- Seizure disorders: Increased caution may be needed.
- Age considerations: Use in older adults should follow guidance from the product leaflet and healthcare advice.
Dosing: how to take Super P-Force
Always check your specific product pack for the exact strength and dosing instructions. The following is general guidance for on-demand use patterns.
Typical on-demand dosing (general)
- Often taken as needed before sexual activity.
- Usually taken about 1 hour before sex (adjust based on how you respond and leaflet instructions).
- Do not exceed the maximum frequency stated on the pack.
Missed dose
Because it’s typically used before sex, a “missed dose” usually just means you take it at your next planned opportunity, while staying within the dosing limits.
How to swallow
- Swallow the tablet with water.
- Avoid crushing unless your leaflet instructs you to do so.
When to start or stop
- If you are experiencing troublesome side effects (especially dizziness), stop and seek advice.
- If you don’t notice benefit after a few attempts (and timing/food changes have been considered), discuss options with a healthcare professional.
Practical use tips for best results
- Timing: Try taking it around 60 minutes before, then refine based on response.
- Food: Avoid heavy, fatty meals close to taking it if you want quicker onset.
- Hydration: Stay well hydrated, especially if you’ve had alcohol.
- Allow enough time: Sildenafil often works within a window; don’t rush the first attempt.
- Be cautious with dizziness: If you feel light-headed, sit or lie down until it passes.
- Sexual stimulation still matters: You still need arousal for sildenafil to help achieve an erection.
- Track what works: Note timing, meal type, alcohol amount, and effect to help you adjust safely.
Alternative options (UK)
If Super P-Force isn’t suitable, there are several alternatives depending on whether you want to target ED, PE, or both.
For erectile dysfunction (ED) alternatives
- Other PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil alone, tadalafil, vardenafil). Different onset and duration may suit different people.
- Non-oral options may be considered in some cases (e.g., vacuum erection devices) with healthcare guidance.
For premature ejaculation (PE) alternatives
- Dapoxetine alone (where available) for on-demand PE treatment
- Behavioural strategies (e.g., start-stop techniques) and pelvic floor exercises
- Psychological support when anxiety contributes to symptoms
When both conditions occur
- Some people prefer taking separate medicines tailored to their response, timing, and interaction risks (this should be discussed with a clinician).
- Lifestyle and mental health strategies can reduce both ED and PE over time for some individuals.
Your best choice depends on your medical history, current medicines, and the pattern of your symptoms.
