Levitra Super Force (Vardenafil / Dapoxetine) — Patient Guide (UK)

Levitra Super Force is a combination medicine containing vardenafil and dapoxetine. It is used to help with two common male sexual health concerns: erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE).

This guide explains how the medicine works, how to take it, what to expect, and important safety information—written for patients in the United Kingdom.

Quick product information

How Levitra Super Force works (mechanism of action)

Levitra Super Force combines two different medicines with complementary effects:

• Vardenafil belongs to the group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors (phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors). It helps increase blood flow to the penis by relaxing smooth muscle and improving the erectile response to sexual stimulation.
• Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It helps reduce the frequency and severity of premature ejaculation by altering serotonin signalling involved in ejaculation control.

Important: Levitra Super Force does not automatically cause an erection. With vardenafil, you still need sexual stimulation. Dapoxetine works to improve control and timing, but results vary depending on your pattern of PE and individual factors.

Pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs and processes it)

Pharmacokinetics describes what happens after you take a tablet: absorption, how fast it starts working, how long it lasts, and how the body clears the medicines. While specific values may vary by formulation and individual health, the general patterns are:

• Vardenafil is absorbed after oral use and typically reaches peak blood levels within about 30–120 minutes. Its effects may be felt over a period of several hours.
• Dapoxetine is also absorbed after oral use and usually reaches peak levels within a short time window (often around 1–2 hours, depending on the person). For PE, the benefit is aimed around sexual activity timing.
• Metabolism and elimination: both medicines are processed by the liver and removed from the body mainly through normal metabolic pathways and excretion processes (details vary for each component).

If you have liver impairment or take interacting medicines, absorption and clearance can change, increasing side effects. Your pharmacist or prescriber can advise on suitability and timing in your case.

Typical use and who it may suit

Levitra Super Force is commonly considered for men who have both:

• Erectile dysfunction (ED) (difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection)
• Premature ejaculation (PE) (ejaculation sooner than desired, often with limited control)

Men with one condition only may find that a single-ingredient option is more appropriate, depending on their symptoms and safety profile.

When to take it (timing guidance)

A key factor for both ED and PE treatment is timing. Many men take the tablet shortly before sex so that blood levels rise when needed.

• Typical timing for vardenafil: often taken about 30–60 minutes before sexual activity. Some men may prefer a slightly earlier or later approach based on how they respond.
• Typical timing for dapoxetine: usually taken before sexual activity as directed by the medicine’s guidance.

Practical tip: For your first attempt, try the advised timing and note how your body responds. If you consistently need more or less time, consult a healthcare professional for adjustment guidance.

Do not exceed the maximum dose stated by your product information.

Food interactions (what you eat and drink)

Food can affect how quickly and how well oral medicines are absorbed. With combination products, the timing effect can vary. In general:

• Heavy or high-fat meals may delay absorption and reduce or postpone the onset of effect for vardenafil.
• If you notice the medicine feels weaker or slower when taken after meals, consider taking it with a lighter meal or on a more empty stomach (following the product guidance).
• Staying hydrated can support comfort, but avoid excessive fluid intake immediately before sex.

If you have a sensitive stomach, avoid very large meals and alcohol-heavy evenings (see below) because both can affect side effects.

Alcohol and medication interactions

Alcohol

Alcohol can contribute to erectile difficulty and can also increase the likelihood of side effects such as dizziness or reduced blood pressure. With vardenafil and dapoxetine together, limiting alcohol is strongly recommended.

• For best results, keep alcohol to a low amount on the day you take the tablet.
• Avoid binge drinking. If you feel light-headed or unwell, do not take additional doses that day.

Medicines that may interact (very important)

Some medicines can interact with vardenafil and raise the risk of serious side effects (including dangerous drops in blood pressure). You should avoid Levitra Super Force if you take certain drug groups unless a clinician specifically confirms it is safe.

Examples of medicines to be cautious with:

• Nitrates for chest pain (angina) or “heart” tablets/sprays such as nitroglycerin (and similar). This combination can cause a dangerous fall in blood pressure.
• Riociguat (used for certain lung/heart conditions). This may also cause dangerous blood pressure changes.
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (certain antibiotics/antifungals and other medicines) that can increase vardenafil levels. Examples include some medicines used for fungal infections or certain HIV medications.
• Alpha-blockers (for prostate symptoms or blood pressure) may lower blood pressure when combined. If you use these, timing and dosing adjustments may be necessary.
• Other serotonergic medicines (due to dapoxetine’s SSRI activity), such as some antidepressants and drugs that affect serotonin.
• Tramadol and certain pain medicines or other medicines affecting the serotonin system may increase risk of side effects.

Always check your medicine list with a healthcare professional or pharmacist, especially if you take: heart medications, antidepressants, migraine drugs, or treatment for prostate symptoms.

Indications (what it is used for)

Levitra Super Force is indicated for men with erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. It is designed for use around sexual activity to improve:

• Erection quality (with sexual stimulation)
• Ejaculation control and delay

If you have erectile difficulty without PE, or PE without ED, discuss whether a different treatment approach could be safer or more suitable.

Dosing (general guidance)

Dose must be taken exactly as stated in your specific product instructions. Combination products can come in different strengths. The following is general patient guidance:

• Start carefully: many men begin at the lowest effective strength.
• As-needed use: typically taken shortly before sex.
• Maximum frequency: do not exceed the recommended dose per 24 hours or the maximum number of doses per day indicated for the product.
• Missed dose: if you planned to take it but didn’t have sex, do not take extra doses to “catch up.” Take it only when you intend to have sexual activity, and within the recommended timing window.

Special populations: If you are older, have liver or kidney problems, or take interacting medicines, dose suitability may differ. Always seek advice from a pharmacist or clinician.

Safety profile and possible side effects

Like all medicines, Levitra Super Force can cause side effects. Many are mild and temporary, but some require urgent medical attention.

Common or mild side effects

• Headache
• Flushing or feeling warm
• Dizziness
• Stuffy nose (nasal congestion)
• Nausea or stomach discomfort
• Fatigue or tiredness
• Dry mouth or mild gastrointestinal effects

Side effects related to dapoxetine (SSRI-type effects)

Dapoxetine can sometimes cause dizziness, sleep disturbance, or mood-related effects in some people.

• Feeling light-headed, especially shortly after taking the dose
• Upset stomach
• Less commonly, changes in mood or energy

Serious side effects — seek urgent medical help

Get urgent medical attention if you experience:

• Chest pain, fainting, or severe dizziness (especially if you feel you might pass out)
• Priapism: an erection lasting longer than advised (commonly >4 hours) This is a medical emergency.
• Severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face/lips, trouble breathing, severe rash
• Signs of serotonin syndrome (rare, but important): agitation, confusion, fever, sweating, tremor, diarrhoea, or muscle stiffness—particularly if you take other serotonergic medicines.
• Severe mood changes such as suicidal thoughts, especially if you have a history of depression or anxiety and you notice worsening symptoms.

Who should take extra care or avoid the product

Levitra Super Force may not be suitable if you have certain medical conditions or take interacting medicines. Extra caution is required if you have:

• Heart disease or unstable cardiovascular conditions
• Low blood pressure or a tendency to faint
• Severe liver impairment
• History of stroke or certain serious neurological conditions (discuss with a clinician)
• Use of nitrates, riociguat, or other interacting therapies
• Use of other SSRIs/serotonergic drugs (due to dapoxetine interaction risk)

If you are unsure whether your conditions or medicines are compatible, ask a pharmacist before using Levitra Super Force.

Practical use tips for better results

• Give it an appropriate trial: response can vary. For many men, effectiveness becomes clearer over the first few attempts.
• Choose a calm, relaxed environment: stress and performance anxiety can reduce erectile quality and worsen PE.
• Use sexual stimulation: vardenafil improves the erectile response but still requires arousal.
• Start with alcohol limitation: alcohol may reduce erection quality and increase side effects.
• Don’t “double up”: if the first attempt is not right, do not increase the dose without medical guidance.
• Stay hydrated, especially if you’ve had caffeine or alcohol.
• Consider PE techniques: behavioural strategies (e.g., stop-start or squeeze techniques) combined with medication can help long-term control.

Alternative options (depending on your symptoms)

If you have ED and PE, a combination product can be convenient. However, different situations may benefit from different approaches. Alternatives include:

• PDE5 inhibitors alone for ED (such as other vardenafil products or comparable erectile medicines), when premature ejaculation is not the main issue.
• Dapoxetine or other PE-focused treatments when PE is the main concern and erections are generally adequate.
• Non-medicine strategies: pelvic floor exercises, sexual therapy, and stress/anxiety reduction.
• Medical review for underlying causes: diabetes, thyroid problems, cardiovascular health, medication side effects, and low testosterone can contribute to ED and PE.

A clinician can recommend the most suitable option based on your health, your medicine list, and your goals.

UK market and legal context (patient-friendly overview)

In the United Kingdom, medicines like vardenafil and dapoxetine are regulated. Access to treatments for sexual health is governed by UK medicines law and related healthcare requirements.

Online pharmacies in the UK should only supply medicines that comply with UK regulations, using appropriate verification processes and providing clear information about safe use.

Always ensure the online pharmacy you use is legitimate, provides appropriate product information, and explains how to use the medicine safely. If you have doubts about authenticity, quality, or regulations, choose a reputable UK-registered provider.

Recent guidance and safety considerations (UK-oriented)

Sexual health treatments in the UK are typically supported by ongoing advice from medicines safety bodies and clinical guidance. In practice, the key current safety themes include:

• Reviewing drug interactions before use—especially nitrates and medicines affecting serotonin.
• Screening cardiovascular risk since ED treatments affect blood flow and blood pressure.
• Being alert to mood changes given dapoxetine’s SSRI activity.
• Avoiding risky dosing: sticking to the maximum daily frequency.

If you have not used ED or PE medicines before, or you are taking other prescriptions, it’s sensible to review your situation with a pharmacist before trying Levitra Super Force.

FAQ — Frequently asked questions

Is Levitra Super Force suitable for everyone?

Not necessarily. It may be unsuitable if you have certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, severe liver impairment, or if you take medicines that interact with vardenafil or dapoxetine (e.g., nitrates or some antidepressants/serotonergic medicines). If you are unsure, ask a pharmacist.

How long before sex should I take it?

Many people take it around 30–60 minutes before sex for vardenafil effect. Your product instructions for your exact strength should guide you for dapoxetine timing as well.

Will I automatically get an erection?

No. Levitra Super Force helps improve blood flow and erection quality in response to sexual stimulation.

Can I take it with food?

Yes, but a heavy or high-fat meal can delay onset or reduce the speed of effect. If you notice slower results after meals, consider taking it with a lighter meal or following timing guidance in the product information.

Can I drink alcohol?

It’s best to limit alcohol. Too much alcohol can worsen erectile performance and increase dizziness or other side effects. Keep alcohol intake low on the day you take the tablet.

What if I miss a dose?

If you planned to take it but did not have sex, do not take extra doses “to catch up.” Use only as directed for planned sexual activity and do not exceed daily limits.

What should I do if I get side effects?

Mild side effects often pass. If you feel unwell, dizzy, or have concerning symptoms, stop using and seek medical advice. For severe reactions (fainting, chest pain, priapism, breathing problems, or signs of serotonin syndrome), seek urgent care.

Are there alternatives if I experience unwanted effects?

Yes. Depending on whether your main issue is ED or PE, alternative options may include PDE5 inhibitor-only treatments, PE-focused treatments, or behavioural approaches. A pharmacist or clinician can help choose the safest option for you.

How should it be stored?

Store as directed on the packaging, generally at room temperature and away from moisture and sunlight. Keep out of sight and reach of children.
