Super Vidalista (Tadalafil with Dapoxetine) — Patient Information
Super Vidalista is a combination medicine containing tadalafil and dapoxetine. It is used to help with erectile difficulties and to treat premature (early) ejaculation in suitable adults. This page explains how it works, how to take it, what to expect, and important safety information for people in the United Kingdom (UK).
Please read this information carefully. If you are unsure whether this medicine is right for you, ask a healthcare professional for advice.
1) Basic product information
- Medicine name: Super Vidalista
- Active ingredients: Tadalafil + Dapoxetine
- Common uses: Erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE)
- Form: Tablet (strengths may vary by product packaging)
- Country context: Information below is written for patients in the UK market.
Important: Product strengths (for example, how many milligrams of tadalafil and dapoxetine) can vary. Always check your specific pack label and follow the directions provided with your medicine.
2) What it is used for (indications)
Super Vidalista is typically used for adults who have both:
- Erectile dysfunction (ED): trouble getting and/or keeping an erection suitable for sexual activity.
- Premature ejaculation (PE): ejaculation that occurs too quickly, causing distress and reduced control.
The combination is designed so that tadalafil supports erection quality while dapoxetine helps improve ejaculatory control.
3) How it works (mechanism of action)
3.1 Tadalafil
Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor (phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor). During sexual stimulation, nitric oxide in the body increases blood flow to the penis. PDE5 breaks down cGMP, a chemical that helps relax smooth muscle and allows blood vessels to widen. By blocking PDE5, tadalafil helps maintain higher cGMP levels, improving blood flow when you are sexually aroused.
3.2 Dapoxetine
Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used in PE. It works by increasing serotonin activity in specific brain pathways that regulate ejaculation timing and control. Over time, this can help increase the time to ejaculation and improve perceived control.
4) When it starts working (timing and expectations)
Individual responses vary. In general:
- Tadalafil: may start helping erectile function within about 30–60 minutes for many people, with effects that can last up to 36 hours (or more in some individuals).
- Dapoxetine: is often taken on-demand shortly before sex. Some people notice an improvement on the first dose, while others may require several attempts or days of use to see the full benefit.
Because this product contains two medicines with different onset profiles, it is often taken according to a simple “dose before sexual activity” schedule. Follow your specific pack instructions or the guidance given by your healthcare professional.
5) Pharmacokinetics (how the body handles the medicine)
Pharmacokinetics refers to absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. While exact values can vary by individual and product strength, the key practical points are summarised below.
5.1 Tadalafil — key points
- Absorption: After oral dosing, tadalafil is absorbed into the bloodstream.
- Onset and duration: Effects typically develop within an hour and may persist for about 36 hours.
- Metabolism: Mainly broken down by the liver (notably via CYP3A4).
- Elimination: Exits the body mainly through faeces and urine.
5.2 Dapoxetine — key points
- Absorption: Dapoxetine is absorbed after taking the tablet by mouth.
- Onset: Designed for use close to sexual activity in PE.
- Metabolism: Mainly metabolised by the liver.
- Elimination: Eliminated via urine and faeces after metabolism.
Why this matters: Your risk of side effects can increase if the medicines build up due to liver/kidney problems or interactions with other drugs that affect metabolism.
6) Typical use and dosing (how to take Super Vidalista)
Dosing can vary depending on the exact tablet strength and your individual situation. Always check your pack and follow the instructions provided for your product.
6.1 General principles
- For sexual activity: take the tablet as directed, typically ahead of planned sex.
- Do not exceed the maximum frequency: taking too much increases the chance of side effects (including dizziness or low blood pressure).
- Start carefully: if you are new to PDE5 inhibitors or dapoxetine/SSRIs, begin as directed and assess tolerance.
6.2 Possible schedule (commonly used approach)
Many combination products are used either:
- On-demand: taken shortly before anticipated sexual activity, or
- As-needed with spacing: not more frequently than recommended on the label.
Because Super Vidalista contains both tadalafil and dapoxetine, it’s especially important to follow the maximum dosing frequency stated on your specific pack.
6.3 Missed dose
This is usually an as-needed medicine. If you planned sex and did not take the dose, you can follow your pack instructions for timing. Do not take extra doses to “make up” for a missed one.
7) Food interactions
Food can affect absorption and side effects. In general:
- Tadalafil: can be taken with or without food for many people. A heavy or very fatty meal may delay onset for some.
- Dapoxetine: taking it with a meal may help reduce some gastrointestinal side effects for certain users.
Practical suggestion: If you feel nauseous or light-headed, try taking the next dose with food (unless your pack says otherwise). Always follow your product label.
8) Alcohol and medicine interactions
8.1 Alcohol
Alcohol can worsen side effects such as dizziness, light-headedness, and reduced blood pressure, which can be especially relevant with dapoxetine and tadalafil. Heavy drinking may also impair sexual performance on its own.
- Recommendation: limit alcohol. If you drink, keep it modest and avoid excessive amounts.
- Safety: if you feel unwell, dizzy, or faint, do not drive or operate machinery and avoid further alcohol.
8.2 Medicine interactions (important)
Super Vidalista can interact with medicines that influence blood pressure or the liver enzymes that metabolise tadalafil and dapoxetine. Always review your current medicines and supplements with a healthcare professional or pharmacist.
8.2.1 Medicines that can interact strongly (examples)
- Nitrates (for example, glyceryl trinitrate, isosorbide): can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure when combined with PDE5 inhibitors.
- “Poppers” (amyl nitrite/amyl nitrate): similarly unsafe with PDE5 inhibitors.
- Alpha-blockers (for prostate symptoms or high blood pressure): may increase risk of low blood pressure in combination.
- Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., some antifungals and certain antivirals): can increase tadalafil exposure and side effects.
- Other serotonergic medicines (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAO inhibitors, linezolid, some migraine medicines such as triptans): may increase risk of serotonin syndrome.
- Other medicines that increase bleeding risk (for example, some anticoagulants/antiplatelets): may need extra caution depending on your overall treatment plan.
8.2.2 Antidepressants and serotonin risk
Because dapoxetine is an SSRI, combining it with certain other serotonergic agents can lead to serotonin syndrome, which can be serious. Signs may include agitation, confusion, fever, sweating, shivering, diarrhoea, fast heartbeat, and muscle stiffness. Seek urgent medical help if these symptoms occur.
8.2.3 Blood pressure medicines
Tadalafil can lower blood pressure. If you take antihypertensive medicines, your clinician may adjust therapy or monitor you more closely, especially when you start treatment or change dose.
9) Safety profile and side effects
Like all medicines, Super Vidalista can cause side effects. Not everyone gets them. Many side effects are mild and improve as your body adjusts. However, some are serious and need urgent attention.
9.1 Common side effects
- Headache
- Flushing (feeling warm/redness)
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Nasal congestion
- Indigestion or stomach discomfort
- Nausea
- Back pain or muscle aches (more often linked to tadalafil)
- Sleepiness or fatigue (possible with dapoxetine)
9.2 Less common but important warnings
- Low blood pressure: you may feel faint, especially when standing up.
- Fainting (syncope): seek medical advice if you pass out.
- Abnormal ejaculation changes (for PE treatment) can occur.
- Mood changes or increased anxiety: contact a healthcare professional promptly.
9.3 Seek urgent help immediately if you have
- Chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or symptoms of heart attack.
- Sudden vision changes or severe eye pain.
- Sudden hearing changes or ringing in the ears.
- Prolonged erection (priapism), typically lasting more than 4 hours.
- Signs of serotonin syndrome (especially if combined with other serotonergic medicines).
- Severe allergic reaction: swelling of face/lips, difficulty breathing, or widespread rash.
9.4 Who should be extra cautious
You should discuss suitability before taking this medicine if you have:
- Heart disease or significant cardiovascular problems
- Low blood pressure or a history of fainting
- Severe liver impairment
- Severe kidney impairment
- A history of stroke or TIA
- Manic episodes or bipolar disorder (relevant with SSRIs)
- Epilepsy or a history of seizures
- Dehydration or conditions that affect electrolyte balance
10) Practical use tips (to improve safety and effectiveness)
- Take only when you plan sex, and follow the dosing frequency on your pack.
- Plan your first dose carefully: consider trying it at a time when you can stay at home, as dizziness may occur.
- Avoid heavy meals and excessive alcohol if you’re prone to nausea or light-headedness.
- Stand up slowly if you feel dizzy.
- Use sexual stimulation: tadalafil typically requires sexual arousal for best effect.
- Stay hydrated, especially if you have vomiting/diarrhoea or have been ill.
- Be cautious with driving and machinery: if you feel sleepy, dizzy, or unsteady.
- Do not mix with nitrates or “poppers” under any circumstances.
11) Alternative options
Depending on whether the main issue is ED, premature ejaculation, or both, you may consider alternatives such as:
11.1 For erectile dysfunction
- PDE5 inhibitors alone (e.g., tadalafil or sildenafil, depending on individual suitability).
- Non-medicine options such as vacuum erection devices (discuss with a clinician).
11.2 For premature ejaculation
- Dapoxetine alone (for those who need PE treatment without tadalafil).
- Psychological and behavioural strategies (often helpful and may be used alongside medication).
- Local anaesthetic options in some cases, depending on guidance.
11.3 For both conditions
- Combination medicines like Super Vidalista (when suitable).
- Some people benefit from treating one condition first and reassessing.
A healthcare professional can help you choose the most appropriate approach based on your health history, medicines, and preferences.
12) United Kingdom market, legal and guidance context
In the UK, erectile dysfunction medicines and sexual health treatments are subject to regulation and safety standards. Many products containing tadalafil or SSRIs may be prescription-only or restricted depending on formulation, strength, and intended use.
Online pharmacies in the UK must follow legal and regulatory requirements, including:
- Providing medicines from authorised supply chains

15) FAQ
Is Super Vidalista suitable for everyone?
No. It may not be suitable if you have certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, severe liver or kidney impairment, or if you take interacting medicines. It also may not be appropriate if you have a history of certain mental health conditions. Check your pack information and discuss with a healthcare professional if unsure.
How long before sex should I take it?
Many people take it shortly before sex. Tadalafil often begins to work within about 30–60 minutes, while dapoxetine is designed for use close to sexual activity. Follow your specific pack instructions for exact timing.
Can I take it with food?
It can often be taken with or without food, but heavy meals may affect how quickly tadalafil takes effect for some people. If you experience nausea, taking it with food may help—unless your pack says otherwise.
Can I drink alcohol while using Super Vidalista?
It’s best to limit alcohol. Alcohol can increase dizziness and low blood pressure risk and may reduce sexual performance. If you feel light-headed or unwell, stop drinking and avoid risky activities.
What medicines should I avoid?
Avoid taking Super Vidalista with nitrates (including nitrate medications) and “poppers”. Also use caution with alpha-blockers, strong liver enzyme inhibitors, and other serotonergic medicines (SSRIs/SNRIs, MAO inhibitors, some migraine medicines, etc.). If you take any regular medication, check interactions with a healthcare professional or pharmacist.
What should I do if I get side effects?
If side effects are mild, they may settle as your body adjusts. If symptoms are severe—especially chest pain, fainting, severe dizziness, vision changes, prolonged erection, or symptoms of serotonin syndrome—seek urgent medical help.
Will it work the first time?
Some people notice improvement quickly, while others may need several attempts to judge effectiveness—particularly for premature ejaculation control. Use as directed and allow appropriate time for benefit.
How often can I take it?
Follow the maximum dosing frequency stated on your specific pack. Taking more than recommended increases the risk of adverse effects.
Does it affect fertility or hormones?
This medicine primarily affects erections and ejaculation timing through its mechanisms on blood flow and serotonin signalling. If you have concerns about fertility, discuss with a healthcare professional.
What if I miss a dose?
Since this is usually taken in relation to planned sex, you typically do not need to “catch up.” Follow your pack instructions for the next dose.
Is Super Vidalista the same as tadalafil or dapoxetine alone?
No. Super Vidalista combines both ingredients, so it treats both ED and PE in one tablet. Separate medicines may be used if one condition is present without the other.
How can I get the safest results?
Use only from a reputable UK-registered online pharmacy, check your strength and label carefully, follow dosing timing, review all medicines you take, and avoid unsafe combinations (especially nitrates and serotonergic interactions).
