Quick Facts
- Brand name: Levitra Super Force
- Active ingredients: Vardenafil + Dapoxetine
- Helps with: Erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE)
- Typical use timing: Often taken shortly before sexual activity
- Main action: Improves blood flow to help achieve and maintain an erection; supports control over ejaculation
- Key considerations: Interactions with nitrates and certain heart medicines; alcohol and other medicines may increase side effects
What is Levitra Super Force?
Levitra Super Force combines two medicines in one tablet:
- Vardenafil: a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used for ED. It helps the penis respond to sexual stimulation by improving blood flow.
- Dapoxetine: a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used for PE. It can help delay ejaculation by affecting brain signalling involved in sexual reflexes.
When used as directed, this combination is intended to address two common sexual health concerns at the same time.
Mechanism of Action (How it Works)
1) Vardenafil: supporting erections
During sexual arousal, nitric oxide is released in penile tissue, which activates an enzyme pathway increasing cGMP. cGMP helps relax smooth muscle and allows increased blood flow to the penis.
Vardenafil blocks PDE5, an enzyme that breaks down cGMP. By inhibiting PDE5, vardenafil helps maintain higher cGMP levels, improving the ability to achieve and sustain an erection.
2) Dapoxetine: improving control over ejaculation
Dapoxetine increases serotonin activity by blocking its reuptake in the brain. Serotonin plays a role in sexual reflex control, including the ejaculatory response. As serotonin signalling increases, the ejaculatory reflex can be delayed.
Pharmacokinetics (Absorption, Onset, and Duration)
Pharmacokinetics describes how the body absorbs and processes a medicine. Exact times may vary between individuals, especially depending on whether you take it with food.
| Component | Absorption & onset (typical) | Duration (practical) |
|---|---|---|
| Vardenafil | Generally begins to act within about 30–60 minutes. Peak effects often occur around 1–2 hours. | Effects may last for several hours; many people plan activity within the first few hours after taking it. |
| Dapoxetine | Often takes effect relatively quickly after ingestion. In many users, improvements in ejaculatory control are noticeable within the early period after dosing. | The benefit for ejaculation control is generally time-limited and works best when dosing timing matches planned activity. |
Because Levitra Super Force combines both actives, your real-world experience depends on: food intake, alcohol use, sexual stimulation, individual sensitivity, and other medicines.
Typical Use and Indications
Indications (What it is for)
Levitra Super Force is used for men who have:
- Premature ejaculation and
- Erectile dysfunction
It may be considered when ED and PE occur together and when medical evaluation suggests the combination is appropriate for the person’s health.
Not suitable for everyone
- It is not intended for women or for children.
- People with certain heart conditions, blood pressure issues, or who take specific medicines may not be suitable.
- If you are unsure whether it fits your situation, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
How to Take Levitra Super Force (Dosing Guidance)
Follow the dosing directions provided with your medicine. This section offers general information for understanding typical use. Your exact strength and dose may vary by product presentation.
General dosing principles
- Take the tablet as needed before sexual activity.
- Do not take more than the recommended dose in a 24-hour period.
- Avoid taking it more frequently than advised, as dapoxetine may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness and nausea.
Starting dose and adjustment
Many patients begin with the lowest effective dose. If side effects occur or if the response is inadequate, a clinician may adjust the regimen.
Maximum frequency
The maximum frequency depends on the specific formulation and local guidance. If you have been instructed to use it “on demand,” keep to the stated schedule from the manufacturer/clinician.
Timing: When Should You Take It?
Timing is important for both components—vardenafil for erection support and dapoxetine for ejaculation control.
- Consider taking Levitra Super Force about 30–60 minutes before planned sexual activity.
- If you have a meal-heavy schedule or a large meal, onset may be slower—plan accordingly (see food section below).
- Sexual stimulation is still required for erections to occur.
Tip: If you are trying it for the first time, choose a setting where you are not rushed and are not driving or doing safety-critical tasks immediately afterward, since dapoxetine can cause dizziness in some people.
Food Interactions (Does Food Affect It?)
Food can affect the absorption of medicines. With PDE5 inhibitors like vardenafil, a high-fat meal may slow onset. Dapoxetine may also be influenced by meal timing and gastric conditions.
- For many users, taking the tablet with a light meal is easier to tolerate.
- If you plan to eat a large or high-fat meal, allow extra time for onset.
- Avoid heavy meals right before dosing if you want the most predictable timing.
Alcohol and Medicine Interactions
Alcohol
Alcohol can worsen sexual performance by affecting blood flow and nerve signals, and it may increase side effects such as:
- dizziness
- headache
- low blood pressure symptoms (e.g., light-headedness)
- nausea
- sleepiness
For best safety and effect, consider keeping alcohol modest. If you feel unwell (dizzy or faint), do not continue sexual activity and seek medical advice.
Medicines you must be careful with
Levitra Super Force can interact with medicines that affect blood pressure, serotonin levels, and drug-metabolising enzymes. The most important avoid/alert interactions include:
- Nitrates (for chest pain/angina) or nitric oxide donors: Combining with PDE5 inhibitors can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
- Riociguat (a medicine for pulmonary hypertension): Can also cause serious blood pressure effects with PDE5 inhibitors.
- Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (can increase vardenafil levels), such as some antifungals and certain antibiotics. This may increase side effects.
- Other PDE5 inhibitors: do not combine.
- Serotonergic medicines (increase serotonin): Examples include some antidepressants (SSRIs/SNRIs), MAO inhibitors, triptans used for migraines, linezolid, and others. Combining serotonergic drugs can increase risk of serotonin syndrome.
- Medicines affecting bleeding risk (some anticoagulants/antiplatelets): Dapoxetine may contribute to bleeding risk in some situations.
- Alpha-blockers (for prostate/urinary symptoms or blood pressure): The combination may increase the risk of dizziness or low blood pressure, especially when starting.
- Strong alcohol use with dapoxetine may increase dizziness/fainting risk.
Always tell a pharmacist or clinician about: all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and herbal supplements you take. This is especially important if you take medicines for the heart, blood pressure, depression, anxiety, migraines, or clotting.
Safety Profile: Side Effects and When to Seek Help
Like all medicines, Levitra Super Force can cause side effects. Many are mild and temporary, but some require urgent medical attention.
Common side effects
- headache
- flushing (warmth/redness)
- nasal congestion
- indigestion or nausea
- dizziness or light-headedness
- fatigue
- reduced appetite
Less common but important
- visual disturbances (e.g., blurred vision)
- palpitations
- fainting or feeling about to faint
- significant stomach upset or vomiting
Seek urgent medical help if you experience
- Chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or symptoms of a heart problem
- Sudden vision loss or severe eye pain
- Priapism (an erection lasting more than 4 hours)
- Allergic reaction (swelling of face/lips, trouble breathing, widespread rash)
- Possible signs of serotonin syndrome (e.g., agitation, confusion, fever, sweating, muscle stiffness, fast heartbeat)
- Severe dizziness or collapse, especially after the first few doses
If you are uncertain about symptoms, contact a medical professional or NHS services promptly.
Practical Use Tips for Best Results
- Allow time for onset: plan sexual activity around the expected window (often 30–60 minutes, possibly longer after heavy meals).
- Use sexual stimulation: PDE5 inhibitors work best with natural arousal.
- Stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol.
- Start low and learn your response: the first time can be different from later uses.
- Avoid driving or risky activities immediately after taking it if you feel dizzy or unsteady.
- Don’t combine with similar medicines: no additional PDE5 inhibitor use.
- Keep an eye on blood pressure symptoms: if you feel faint, sit/lie down and seek advice.
- Adopt a supportive lifestyle: regular exercise, weight management, and stress reduction can improve overall sexual health.
Who Should Take Extra Caution?
You may need special assessment if you have any of the following:
- Heart disease, prior heart attack, unstable angina, or significant heart rhythm problems
- Very low blood pressure or episodes of fainting
- Stroke history (particularly if recent)
- Severe liver impairment or severe kidney impairment (dose and suitability may change)
- History of depression, bipolar disorder, or seizures
- Use of medicines that affect serotonin, mood, or migraine treatment
- Existing eye conditions associated with vision changes
If any apply, discuss options with a clinician before using Levitra Super Force.
Alternative Options (Depending on Your Needs)
Alternatives may be helpful if you only need one component (ED or PE) rather than both, or if the combination is not appropriate.
For erectile dysfunction
- Sildenafil (another PDE5 inhibitor)
- Tadalafil (often longer acting)
- Other PDE5 inhibitors depending on availability and suitability
For premature ejaculation
- Dapoxetine alone (when appropriate)
- Behavioural strategies such as “start–stop” techniques
- Topical treatments or other clinically guided approaches
Combination or different strategies
- Sometimes a clinician may recommend separating treatment—using an ED medicine and an ejaculation control strategy individually.
- Psychological and relationship factors can also play a role; counselling may help in some cases.

FAQ: Common Questions About Levitra Super Force
1) How quickly does it work?
Vardenafil often starts to work within about 30–60 minutes for many people, but peak effect may be around 1–2 hours. Dapoxetine’s benefit for ejaculation control may also be noticeable within the early period after taking it. Food—especially large or high-fat meals—can delay onset.
2) Can I take it with food?
You can usually take it with or without food, but heavy meals may slow the onset, particularly for vardenafil. If you want predictable timing, consider a light meal or dosing on a relatively empty stomach (if tolerated and appropriate for you).
3) How often can I use it?
Use should follow the dosing instructions provided with the medicine and from your healthcare professional. Do not exceed the maximum recommended dose or frequency in 24 hours.
4) Can I take it with alcohol?
Alcohol can increase side effects like dizziness and can also reduce sexual performance. If you drink, keep amounts modest and be alert for light-headedness. Avoid if you experience severe dizziness, faintness, or you feel unwell.
5) What medicines should not be combined?
Avoid combinations with nitrates (for angina) and riociguat. Be cautious with medicines that affect serotonin, blood pressure, or drug metabolism (such as strong CYP3A4 inhibitors). Always check your full medicine list with a pharmacist.
6) What if it doesn’t work?
ED and PE can have multiple causes (vascular, hormonal, psychological, medication-related, lifestyle). Timing, meal size, and arousal level matter. If it repeatedly fails, speak to a clinician—dose adjustment or an alternative approach may be needed.
7) Are there warning signs during use?
Seek urgent help if you have chest pain, fainting, a prolonged erection (over 4 hours), severe allergic symptoms, sudden vision loss, or symptoms that may indicate serotonin syndrome.
8) Will it affect my ability to drive?
Some people feel dizzy or light-headed, especially soon after taking dapoxetine. If you feel unsteady, do not drive or operate machinery until you feel normal.
9) Can I use it every day?
Levitra Super Force is typically used on demand rather than daily. Daily use is not the usual approach for combination “as-needed” products. Follow your dosing instructions exactly.
10) Is it safe for everyone?
No. People with certain heart conditions, blood pressure issues, severe liver/kidney impairment, a history of serotonin-related conditions, or those taking interacting medicines may need to avoid it or use alternative treatments. A professional check is recommended if you have any concerns.
Summary
Levitra Super Force (Vardenafil / Dapoxetine) combines a PDE5 inhibitor to support erections with an SSRI-derived approach to help delay ejaculation. For many men dealing with both ED and PE, it offers a practical “two-in-one” option. For safe and effective use in the UK, pay attention to:
- timing (often 30–60 minutes before sex),
- food effects (large/high-fat meals may delay onset),
- alcohol moderation (to reduce dizziness and blood pressure effects),
- avoidance of high-risk drug combinations (especially nitrates), and
- knowing when to seek urgent care.
If you are unsure whether it is suitable for your health situation or you want help choosing the safest option, contact a qualified healthcare professional or pharmacist.
