Super Avana (Avanafil with Dapoxetine) — Patient Guide (UK)

Super Avana is a combination medicine that contains avanafil and dapoxetine. It is used for men who want help with both erectile function and premature ejaculation (ejaculation that happens sooner than desired). This page explains how the medicine works, how it is typically taken, important safety information, and what to expect when buying and using it in the United Kingdom.

Note: Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your product. This guide provides general information and cannot replace personalised advice from a healthcare professional.

Basic product information

• Product name: Super Avana
• Active ingredients: Avanafil + Dapoxetine
• What it is for: Erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE)
• Dosage form: Tablets (strengths may vary by product)
• Target user group: Adult men experiencing both ED and PE
• Typical availability: Online pharmacies and e-commerce partners may offer it depending on regulations and stock

How Super Avana works (mechanism of action)

Super Avana combines two medicines that act in different ways:

1) Avanafil (for erectile function)

• Avanafil belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors class.
• It helps improve erections by increasing the availability of cyclic GMP in penile tissue.
• This supports relaxation of blood vessels and improved blood flow to the penis in response to sexual stimulation.
• Important: It does not automatically cause an erection without sexual arousal.

2) Dapoxetine (for premature ejaculation)

• Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).
• It increases serotonin activity in the brain, which can improve control over ejaculation.
• The result is often a delay in ejaculation during partnered sex.

Because the two ingredients target different parts of male sexual response—blood flow/erection and ejaculatory control—the combination may be useful for men who experience both ED and PE.

Pharmacokinetics (how the body processes it)

Pharmacokinetics describe how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolises, and eliminates a medicine. While exact values can vary by individual and product strength, the following points are commonly discussed for these ingredients:

Avanafil

• Absorption: Absorbs after oral dosing, with peak blood levels typically occurring within a few hours.
• Onset: Sexual activity is usually planned shortly after dosing; the onset may be influenced by food (see below).
• Metabolism: Primarily metabolised by liver enzymes (including CYP450 pathways).
• Elimination: Excreted via metabolism products; elimination is gradual.

Dapoxetine

• Absorption: Absorbed relatively quickly after taking a tablet.
• Onset: It is designed for on-demand use, helping ejaculation control during sex when taken correctly.
• Metabolism: Primarily metabolised in the liver.
• Elimination: Removed from the body via metabolic pathways; effects may vary between individuals.

Practical implication: Planning the timing of your dose can strongly influence how well each component works.

Typical use and indications

Super Avana is commonly used to treat:

• Premature ejaculation in men who also have erectile dysfunction, where both concerns are present.
• Situations where a combined approach to erection quality and ejaculatory timing is desired.

When it may not be suitable: It may not be appropriate if you have certain medical conditions, take interacting medicines, or are in a group where SSRIs and PDE5 inhibitors pose increased risk. If you are unsure, check with a healthcare professional.

How to take Super Avana (dosing and timing)

Always follow the dose instructions provided with your product. Combination products can vary in strength. In the UK, availability may differ by supplier and batch, so confirm the exact strength on the box.

General on-demand timing

• Take the tablet as directed before sexual activity.
• A commonly used approach with these active ingredients is to take the dose such that it begins working before you start intimacy.
• Avoid exceeding the maximum frequency stated for your specific product.

Typical time to effect (practical expectations)

• Avanafil: often helps erection quality within about 15–30 minutes for many men, though individual response can vary.
• Dapoxetine: often starts working within a similar window but effects depend on timing, individual absorption, and whether food delays absorption.

Tip: If this is your first time, you may want to test on a day when you have time to understand how you respond (including how long effects last and how you tolerate the medicine).

Missed or skipped doses

• If you do not take it as planned, generally you should not “double up.” Use only as directed.
• Wait for your next planned on-demand dose.

Food interactions (what to eat and when)

Food can affect absorption, particularly for PDE5 inhibitors like avanafil. This may change how quickly you feel the effect.

• Heavy, high-fat meals may slow absorption and reduce or delay onset.
• Taking the tablet when you have more time after eating can improve predictability for some people.

Practical guidance:

• If you have a large or fatty meal, consider waiting longer before taking the tablet (follow your product leaflet if it provides a specific guidance range).
• If you usually eat a lighter meal, onset may be closer to expected timing.

Alcohol interactions

Alcohol can worsen erectile performance and may increase side effects such as dizziness, headache, flushing, or low blood pressure—especially when combined with medicines that affect blood vessel tone.

• Keep alcohol intake moderate.
• Be cautious if you notice light-headedness, fatigue, or reduced response.

Avoid excess alcohol on the day you take Super Avana, as it may reduce erection quality and increase the chance of adverse reactions.

Medicine interactions (important safety checks)

Super Avana includes two active medicines that can interact with several drug classes. The most important interactions are described below.

Do not combine with nitrates

• If you use medicines containing nitrates (for chest pain/angina) or nitric oxide donors, do not take PDE5 inhibitors with them.
• This combination can cause a potentially dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Strong inhibitors/inducers of liver enzymes

• Certain medicines that affect metabolism can change blood levels of avanafil or dapoxetine.
• This can increase side effects or reduce effectiveness.

Other serotonin-affecting medicines (SSRI/SNRI/MAOI)

• Dapoxetine is an SSRI. Combining with other medicines that raise serotonin can increase risk of serotonin syndrome.
• Be careful with combinations involving:
• MAO inhibitors (and recent use)
• Other SSRIs or SNRIs
• Linezolid (antibiotic with serotonin effects)
• Tramadol (can affect serotonin in some cases)
• St John’s wort (herbal supplement)

Medicines that affect bleeding risk

• SSRIs can sometimes increase bleeding risk, especially if you take:
• Warfarin or other anticoagulants
• Antiplatelet medicines (e.g., clopidogrel)
• Regular high-dose NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen/naproxen)

Antihypertensives and blood-pressure lowering drugs

• PDE5 inhibitors can lower blood pressure in some people.
• If you take blood-pressure medication, dizziness or light-headedness may occur—especially with alcohol or dehydration.

Alpha-blockers

• If you take medicines for prostate enlargement or urinary symptoms (alpha-blockers), the combination with PDE5 inhibitors can increase risks of dizziness or low blood pressure.

Checklist before use:

• Tell your pharmacy about all medicines and supplements you take, including “over-the-counter” items.
• Pay special attention to medicines for mood, depression/anxiety, migraine, blood pressure, angina, prostate symptoms, and pain relief.

Safety profile and side effects

Like all medicines, Super Avana can cause side effects. Not everyone experiences them. Many side effects are mild and improve as your body adjusts.

Common side effects (may include)

• Headache
• Flushing or warmth
• Dizziness or light-headedness
• Nausea
• Indigestion
• Fatigue

Sexual health-related side effects

• Some men may experience temporary changes in erections or ejaculation timing while adjusting to the medicine.

More serious but less common risks

• Low blood pressure symptoms (fainting, severe dizziness)
• Visual disturbance (rare but important—seek medical advice)
• Priapism (painful erection lasting too long). This is an emergency.
• Allergic reaction (swelling, difficulty breathing, rash)
• Serotonin syndrome (rare; symptoms can include agitation, confusion, sweating, tremor, fever, diarrhoea)

Get urgent medical help if you have severe allergic symptoms, fainting, chest pain, signs of serotonin syndrome, or an erection lasting longer than recommended.

Who should be cautious or avoid Super Avana

Super Avana may be unsuitable for certain people. Avoid or seek professional advice before use if you have:

• Use of nitrates for angina or chest pain
• Uncontrolled low blood pressure, severe cardiovascular conditions, or recent cardiovascular events
• A history of fainting or significant rhythm issues
• Significant liver impairment (dapoxetine and avanafil may require caution)
• Major kidney problems (discuss suitability)
• Any prior adverse reaction to SSRIs or PDE5 inhibitors
• Use of interacting serotonergic or metabolism-altering medicines

If you are unsure, consult a qualified clinician. Combination products can increase the number of contraindications compared with using one ingredient alone.

Practical use tips for best results

• Start with the right timing: choose a time window before sex when you can allow the medicine to take effect.
• Keep alcohol moderate: avoid heavy drinking on the day of use.
• Avoid very heavy meals: if you eat a large or fatty meal, allow time for digestion before dosing.
• Be patient with the first trial: the “best dose timing” can differ person-to-person.
• Use sexual stimulation: avanafil supports erection response to stimulation; it is not a standalone trigger.
• Hydrate appropriately: dehydration can worsen dizziness and performance.
• Do not exceed dosing limits: follow product instructions and do not take more than recommended frequency.

Alternative options (in case Super Avana is not suitable)

If you want help for ED, premature ejaculation, or both, there are multiple options. Which one is best depends on your symptoms, health history, and medication interactions.

For erectile dysfunction

• PDE5 inhibitor tablets (different molecules have different onset/duration profiles)
• Non-medicine options such as vacuum erection devices or lifestyle approaches (weight, smoking cessation, exercise)

For premature ejaculation

• On-demand or daily treatments aimed at improving ejaculatory control (choices vary by region)
• Behavioural strategies (e.g., start-stop techniques) and pelvic floor exercises

For combined symptoms

• Combination approaches may be used, but could involve taking separate medicines rather than a fixed combination product.
• Alternatively, treating the symptom that is most bothersome first may be a practical approach.

If you want alternatives, ask your pharmacist about options suitable for the UK and compatible with your other medicines and health conditions.
