A Note On The Safety Of The Antidepressant Component Of Viagra Super Force From Psychiatrists

Some men who think of trying Viagra Super Force are concerned about possible side effects of dapoxetine, one of its active ingredients. Being an antidepressant, it can cause the common side effects of this class of medications, they conclude. To reassure our customers that Viagra Super Force is safe for treatment both ED and PE, we consult with experts in the field of psychiatry about possible consequences of using SSRIs, particularly dapoxetine.

Why Dapoxetine?

Before talking about adverse reactions, let us explain why an idea to combine sildenafil citrate with antidepressant has appeared. Among SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), Dapoxetine is known as the one with quicker absorption, that means its action does not last long and the medication excretes from the body rapidly. At the same time, it acts as a serotonin transporter inhibitor, delaying serotonin absorption and increasing serotonin levels, which, in turn, defers ejaculation. Due to these properties, dapoxetine has become the first medicine purposed for the treatment of premature ejaculation. It is sold under the brand names of Priligy® and Westoxetine® and also a number of generic names.

It is not uncommon that, after a certain age, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation occur together. In this case, even if a man has an erection, an ejaculation happens in a matter of seconds that is unsatisfactory both for the man and his party. The solution to combine two effective and proven medicines, such as Viagra (sildenafil citrate) and Priligy (dapoxetine), to combat the both disorders seemed natural for pharmacist. Thus, Viagra Super Force was developed.

Side Effects of Dapoxetine

Now, when it is clear how an antidepressant has become a part of the treatment of sexual dysfunction in men, let’s consider whether any of its adverse effects can be dangerous. According to Prof. Eduard Gagnon, MD, a chief Physician of a private psychiatric clinic in Quebec, dapoxetine has relatively mild side effects compared with the most of SSRIs, which follows from the fact that it is a short acting SSRI. When we say “short-acting” that means the medication eliminates too quickly from the system to be an effective antidepressant, but its action lasts long enough to achieve a desired effect during an intimacy.

The most common adverse effect of dapoxetine is nausea, followed by dizziness and headaches. At least two clinic researches show that these effects are dose related and increase when the medicine is used regularly, but, in reality, there is no need to take it constantly; doctors recommend the intake of dapoxetine when needed.

Among others aftermaths we can name drowsiness or, on the contrary, insomnia. Similar as it was mentioned above, these effects significantly depend on an average daily dose.

Less common side effects: upset stomach, difficulty breathing, eye pain and blurred vision, allergic reactions, including itching, hives and swelling, and anxiety.

To reduce side effects of dapoxetine, it is strictly not recommended to exceed 60 mg daily dose.

Can Dapoxetine Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

Many men worry that dapoxetine can lead to impotence, as impotence and low libido are listed as common adverse effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and other antidepressants. Unlike many other medications of this group, dapoxetine does not cause ED and decrease sexual desire, and that was a reason why it was assigned for the PE treatment.

Can Dapoxetine Cause Mental Distubances

Some people wonder if dapoxetine can cause any mental disturbances and suicidal thoughts, as intake of antidepressants sometimes is associated with such disorders. Prof. Gagnon said he hardly heard about any cases of mental and psychotic conditions caused by the medication, but there is no any systematic statistic on this particular problem.

Discontinuation Syndrome

Many antidepressants have discontinuation syndrome (or withdrawal syndrome), which is unwanted symptoms following the cessation of receiving a medication. The severe symptoms include restlessness, depression, dysphoria (a feeling of dissatisfaction), as well as imbalance, dizziness, tremors, insomnia and some others. Mild symptoms include not significant sleep disturbance, mood changes and also headaches, nausea and stomach problem that are temporary and cease in a few days.

As a rule, withdrawal syndrome occurs if an antidepressant is received by a patient on a regular basis during prolonged periods. If dapoxetine is taken, as it recommended by doctors, on an ad hoc basis (when needed and for PE treatment only), it cannot cause a discontinuation syndrome, Prof. Gagnon said.

Interaction of Dapoxetine and Sildenafil

One more common concern when deciding on the Viagra Super Force treatment is a possible interaction of the components of the drug. Of course, doctors and pharmacists also had the same concern and undertook a number of studies. The most known of them is Dresser’s study conducted in 2005. It says that there is no clinically significant interaction between sildenafil citrate and dapoxetine. For patients, it means that combination of these two medications cannot cause unexpected harmful effects.

Dapoxetine and Other Substances

It is strictly not recommended to take dapoxetine with alcohol, as dapoxetine can increase the action of alcohol, which includes dizziness, loss of reaction and sleepiness. Alcohol, in turn, can escalate side effects of the medication.

Taking with food can slow down the action of dapoxetine, whilst water can alleviate side effects.
