Overview of Vardenafil

Vardenafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis, helping to achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated. It is typically taken before sexual activity.

How to Take Vardenafil

  1. Take Vardenafil approximately 30-60 minutes before planned sexual activity.
  2. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
  3. Do not take more than one dose in a 24-hour period.
  4. It can be taken with or without food; however, high-fat meals may delay its efficacy.
  5. If you miss a dose and plan to engage in sexual activity, take it as soon as you remember; otherwise, skip it and take the next dose as prescribed.

Overview of Dapoxetine

Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that is particularly effective in treating PE. It helps to increase the time it takes to ejaculate, thus improving control over ejaculation.

How to Take Dapoxetine

  1. Take Dapoxetine 1 to 3 hours before anticipated sexual activity.
  2. Take the tablet with a full glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
  3. Daily use of Dapoxetine is not recommended; it should be taken only as needed.
  4. Starting dose typically is 30 mg; if well tolerated, it may increase to 60 mg.
  5. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember if it’s within a few hours of your scheduled time. Otherwise, skip it and continue with the scheduled dose.
