Super P-Force (Sildenafil with Dapoxetine) – Patient Guide (UK)
Super P-Force is a combination medicine containing sildenafil and dapoxetine. It is used to treat two common sexual health concerns in men: erectile difficulties and premature ejaculation (finishing too soon). This guide explains how the medicine works, how it is taken, safety considerations, interactions, and what to expect in day-to-day use.
Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your medicine and follow the advice of your healthcare professional. If you have any questions about whether Super P-Force is suitable for you, seek medical guidance.

What problems can Super P-Force help with?
- Erectile dysfunction (ED): trouble getting or keeping an erection firm enough for satisfactory sex.
- Premature ejaculation (PE): ejaculation occurring sooner than desired, often with limited control.
- Two concerns together: For men who have both ED and PE, the combination may be convenient because it targets both conditions.
How it works (mechanism of action)
Super P-Force combines two medicines with different actions:
1) Sildenafil (ED component)
Sildenafil belongs to a class of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. In sexual stimulation, nitric oxide is released in the penis, which helps increase blood flow. PDE5 breaks down a key chemical messenger (cGMP). Sildenafil helps block PDE5, allowing cGMP to last longer, which improves the ability to achieve and maintain an erection.
2) Dapoxetine (PE component)
Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) designed for use in premature ejaculation. It increases serotonin levels in the brain by slowing reuptake, which can help improve control of ejaculation. It is taken close to planned sexual activity.
Important note: Sildenafil and dapoxetine do not create automatic sexual arousal. Sexual stimulation is still needed for erections to occur.
Pharmacokinetics (how the body handles it)
“Pharmacokinetics” describes absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. Individual results vary. The combination product has two active ingredients; each behaves slightly differently.
Sildenafil
- Absorption: Sildenafil is absorbed after oral dosing. Food can delay absorption.
- Onset: Many people notice effects within about 30–60 minutes.
- Peak levels: Peak blood levels typically occur around ~1 hour (can vary).
- Duration: Effects can last several hours, but timing and individual response differ.
- Metabolism: Primarily metabolised in the liver (mainly by CYP enzymes).
- Elimination: Metabolites are excreted largely via the faeces and, to a smaller extent, urine.
Dapoxetine
- Absorption: Dapoxetine is absorbed after oral dosing.
- Onset: It is designed for “on-demand” use, with an effect intended around the time of planned sex.
- Peak levels: Typically reached within about 1–2 hours.
- Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver; active breakdown products may contribute to overall effect.
- Elimination: Mostly cleared by metabolism and then eliminated from the body.
If you have liver or kidney problems, your doctor may advise a different approach. Combination therapy can be unsuitable for some people due to safety considerations.
Typical use and timing
Super P-Force is generally used as needed before sexual activity. The exact “best timing” depends on the product strength and your personal response, but common guidance is:
- Plan ahead: Take the tablet roughly 30 to 60 minutes before sex for sildenafil’s onset.
- Consider dapoxetine timing: Dapoxetine is formulated for on-demand use and should be taken shortly before sex.
- Give it the best conditions: Avoid heavy meals and excessive alcohol (details below).
- Do not take more often than recommended: Respect the maximum dosing interval stated on your packaging/leaflet.
Many men need a few attempts to find their most effective timing. If you consistently feel little effect, consult a clinician rather than increasing dose.
Indications (when it may be appropriate)
Super P-Force may be considered for men who have both:
- Erectile dysfunction, and
- Premature ejaculation (with ejaculation occurring sooner than desired and with limited control).
It is not intended for use by women or children. It is also not suitable for everyone with ED/PE—especially men taking certain medicines, those with specific heart conditions, or those at risk of fainting or serotonin-related side effects.
Dosing (general guidance)
Follow the dosing directions on your medicine packaging or leaflet. Because Super P-Force comes in different strengths, the exact dose can vary by product.
On-demand dosing
- Start as directed: Many combination products are prescribed to start at the lower strength to assess tolerability.
- Timing: Take before sexual activity as described above.
- Maximum frequency: Do not take more often than the allowed interval.
- Single dose: Typically, one tablet is taken per planned sexual event (subject to leaflet instructions).
Missed dose
This is usually an “on-demand” medicine. If you planned sex and forgot a dose, you should not double up. Take it only for future planned sexual activity and follow the normal schedule.
Special populations
- Older adults: Some men may be more sensitive to blood pressure changes and dizziness.
- Liver impairment: May increase risk of side effects—your clinician may advise against dapoxetine-containing products.
- Kidney impairment: May affect tolerance; seek medical advice.
Food interactions
Food can influence the speed of absorption—especially for sildenafil. In general:
- Heavy or fatty meals: may delay onset and reduce how quickly you notice an effect.
- Lighter meals: may be better if you want the effect to start within the usual time window.
- Hydration: helps overall comfort, but avoid excessive fluid immediately before if it makes you uncomfortable.
If you notice effects are consistently late or weaker after meals, try taking it on a relatively lighter stomach, as long as it is still safe for you.
Alcohol interactions
Alcohol can worsen both ED and PE for several reasons:
- Blood flow effects: alcohol may affect circulation and erection quality.
- Performance and control: alcohol may increase latency variability and reduce control.
- Safety: both components can contribute to dizziness or low blood pressure in some people.
To reduce the risk of side effects and improve performance:
- Keep alcohol moderate: Avoid binge drinking.
- Watch for dizziness: If you feel light-headed, sit down and do not drive.
- Consider timing: If drinking, allow sufficient time before taking the medicine.
Medicine interactions (important safety information)
Interactions can change medicine levels or increase side effects. This is particularly important with: sildenafil (PDE5 inhibition and blood-pressure effects) and dapoxetine (serotonin effects and fainting risk).
Do not combine with nitrates
Sildenafil must not be used with medicines containing nitrates (for example, glyceryl trinitrate) or with “poppers” (amyl nitrite/related substances). The combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Alpha-blockers (for prostate/urinary symptoms or blood pressure)
Some men take alpha-blockers (e.g., tamsulosin). Sildenafil may add to blood-pressure-lowering effects. If you use an alpha-blocker, consult a clinician for safe timing and dosing.
Strong CYP inhibitors (affect sildenafil levels)
Medicines that strongly inhibit liver enzymes can raise sildenafil levels and increase risk of side effects. Examples may include certain antifungals and some antibiotics (varies by ingredient).
Serotonin-affecting medicines (dapoxetine risk)
Dapoxetine acts through serotonin pathways. Combining with other serotonin-related medicines can increase risk of serotonin syndrome or other complications. Examples include:
- Other SSRIs or SNRIs
- MAO inhibitors
- Triptans (for migraine), linezolid (antibiotic), or other serotonergic medicines
- Some herbal supplements with serotonergic effects
Also be cautious if you take medicines that affect heart rhythm. If you have a known heart rhythm issue, seek medical guidance before using dapoxetine-containing products.
Other ED medicines
Do not take sildenafil or other PDE5 inhibitors at the same time as Super P-Force. Doubling up increases side effects without improving safety.
Stimulant or recreational drugs
Recreational drugs or substances may significantly increase cardiovascular risk and unpredictable interactions. It’s safest to avoid them while using ED medicines.
What to do if you’re unsure
- List all medicines and supplements you take (including over-the-counter products).
- Check labels for ingredients that may interact with serotonin or blood pressure.
- Consult a pharmacist or clinician for a quick interaction review.
Safety profile and side effects
Like all medicines, Super P-Force can cause side effects. Many are mild and temporary, but some require urgent medical attention.
Common side effects
- Headache
- Flushing or warmth in the face
- Nasal congestion
- Indigestion or stomach upset
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Reduced blood pressure symptoms (e.g., light-headedness), especially when standing
- Sleepiness or feeling faint in some people
Less common but important risks
- Fainting (syncope)—more relevant to dapoxetine
- Serotonin syndrome (rare): symptoms may include agitation, confusion, sweating, tremor, rapid heartbeat, fever, or diarrhoea
- Visual changes—rare, but seek help if vision is affected suddenly
- Hearing changes—rare; urgent evaluation may be needed
- Priapism (prolonged erection lasting several hours)—medical emergency
When to seek urgent help
- Chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or collapse
- Fainting or severe dizziness that does not settle
- Symptoms of serotonin syndrome
- Sudden vision loss or major visual disturbance
- An erection lasting more than 4 hours
Who should be extra cautious or avoid use
Super P-Force may not be suitable if you have any of the following (among others):
- Use of nitrates for angina or chest pain
- Severe heart or blood pressure conditions as advised by a clinician
- A history of fainting or significant risk of syncope
- Significant liver impairment
- Concomitant use of certain serotonergic medicines (see interactions)
- Concurrent medicines that strongly interact with sildenafil or dapoxetine
If you have cardiovascular disease, heart rhythm issues, or take multiple prescription medicines, it’s especially important to check suitability.
Practical use tips (getting the best results safely)
- Start with a trial: When first using the medicine, choose an occasion where you can stay relaxed and avoid rushing.
- Keep the meal light: Heavy meals can delay sildenafil’s effect.
- Stay hydrated: Dehydration can worsen headaches and dizziness.
- Be mindful when standing up: Dizziness can occur; get up slowly.
- Don’t combine with other ED medicines: Doing so increases the risk of adverse effects.
- Use sexual stimulation: Sildenafil improves the physiological ability to respond to arousal.
- Track what works: Note the timing, whether you ate, and any side effects to find your optimal schedule.
- Stop and seek advice if severe symptoms occur: Do not “push through” concerning side effects.
Alternative options in the UK
If Super P-Force is not suitable, there are other approaches for ED and premature ejaculation. Alternatives may include:
For erectile dysfunction
- Other PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil as a single ingredient, tadalafil, vardenafil) depending on suitability
- Lifestyle approaches (weight, exercise, smoking cessation, reduced alcohol)
- Psychosexual support if anxiety or relationship factors contribute
For premature ejaculation
- Dapoxetine alone (when appropriate)
- Local treatments (such as topical anaesthetics) in selected cases
- Behavioural strategies (e.g., “start–stop” techniques) and counselling
- Other medicines as advised by a clinician
Combined ED + PE
A combination tablet like Super P-Force can be convenient, but some men may benefit from separating treatments so dosing and side effects can be tailored more precisely.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions
1) How long before sex should I take Super P-Force?
A common approach is taking it about 30–60 minutes before sexual activity. If you eat a heavy meal, the sildenafil effect may begin later. Start with the timing on the leaflet and adjust cautiously based on your experience.
2) Can I take it with food?
Yes, but heavy or fatty meals can delay the onset of sildenafil. For best results, consider taking it after a lighter meal.
3) Is it safe to drink alcohol?
Moderate alcohol is preferable to heavy drinking. Alcohol can worsen erection quality and increase dizziness. If you feel light-headed, avoid driving and seek advice.
4) What if I get dizziness or feel faint?
Sit or lie down immediately. Do not drive or operate machinery. Seek medical advice if dizziness is severe, repeated, or you faint.
5) Can women or teenagers take this medicine?
Super P-Force is intended for adult men and is not generally appropriate for women or children.
6) What should I do if it doesn’t work?
Consider whether timing, meal size, alcohol intake, and sexual stimulation were appropriate. If there’s still little benefit, consult a clinician or pharmacist. Do not increase dose beyond instructions.
7) Can I take it together with other ED medicines?
Do not combine with other PDE5 inhibitors or double up on sildenafil-containing products.
8) What medicines are the biggest “do not combine” risks?
The most critical concern is nitrates (including some medicines for chest pain) due to dangerous blood pressure effects. Also be careful with certain serotonergic medicines and strong interacting drugs—check all medicines/supplements with a pharmacist.
9) Are there long-term concerns with using it occasionally?
Many men use on-demand treatment without issues, but your personal health status matters. If you have ongoing ED/PE, you may benefit from a broader assessment, lifestyle review, and a structured plan.
10) When should I seek urgent medical help?
Get urgent help for chest pain, fainting, symptoms of serotonin syndrome, sudden vision/hearing changes, or an erection lasting longer than 4 hours.
