Super Avana is a prescription-only oral pill that combines two active ingredients: avanafil (100 mg) and dapoxetine (60 mg). The product is formulated as a single tablet intended for adult men who experience both erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE).
Avanafil belongs to the phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor class. By selectively blocking the PDE5 enzyme in the smooth muscle of the penis, avanafil allows cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) to accumulate. Elevated cGMP relaxes the smooth muscle, increases blood flow, and facilitates an erection in response to sexual stimulation. Avanafil has a rapid onset of action, typically producing an effect within 15 minutes, and its effect lasts for about 6 hours.
Dapoxetine is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It increases the concentration of serotonin in the central nervous system, which modestly delays the ejaculatory reflex. Because dapoxetine has a relatively short half-life (≈ 1.5 hours), its action is limited to the period surrounding sexual activity, minimizing the risk of prolonged serotonergic side effects that can be seen with traditional SSRIs.
When taken together, avanafil addresses the vascular component of erectile dysfunction, while dapoxetine temporarily enhances control over ejaculation. The combination allows a single dosing event to target both aspects of male sexual performance.
| Ingredient | Approved Indication (Hong Kong) | ||| | Avanafil | Treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult males. | | Dapoxetine | Management of premature ejaculation in adult males, taken on-demand before sexual activity. |
Super Avana inherits these indications because it delivers the two drugs at the dosages that are each approved for their respective conditions. The combination itself does not have a separate label-approved indication.
Some clinicians prescribe a fixed-dose avanafil/dapoxetine tablet to patients who experience both ED and PE simultaneously, even though this specific product formulation has not been evaluated in large-scale clinical trials. Current evidence consists of small open-label studies and case series that suggest the combination can improve overall sexual satisfaction when both conditions coexist.
Regulatory status: Off-label - not approved by the Hong Kong Department of Health for the combined indication.
Disclaimer: Off-label use should only be undertaken under direct supervision of a qualified health professional who can weigh the potential benefits against any risks.
If any of the above conditions apply, discuss alternative therapies with a health professional.
These reactions usually resolve without medical intervention. Drinking plenty of water and avoiding excessive alcohol may lessen their intensity.
If any serious symptom appears, seek emergency care.
Patients should provide a complete medication list, including over-the-counter products and herbal supplements, before initiating Super Avana.
Because the medication is taken on an as-needed basis, a missed dose simply means the activity did not occur. Do not take an extra tablet later to “make up” for the missed one.
Symptoms may include severe headache, visual disturbances, prolonged erection, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Seek emergency medical care immediately. Treatment is supportive; there is no specific antidote.
Super Avana can be stopped without tapering because neither component causes physical dependence. However, patients should discuss cessation with a clinician to address any underlying sexual concerns.

Yes, it can be used alongside most blood-pressure drugs, but caution is advised because avanafil may cause a modest reduction in blood pressure. Patients on multiple antihypertensives should have their blood pressure checked after the first dose and report any symptomatic dizziness.
A erection lasting more than four hours (priapism) is a medical emergency. Apply a cold compress to the groin and seek immediate emergency care; delayed treatment can lead to permanent tissue damage.
Moderate alcohol intake is generally tolerated, but excessive drinking can amplify vasodilatory side effects such as flushing and dizziness. Limit alcohol to one standard drink and avoid binge drinking on the day of sexual activity.
Manufacturers may use distinct imprint codes or color schemes for the same dosage to comply with local packaging regulations. In Hong Kong, the 100/60 mg tablet is often a round, light-blue pill imprinted with “SA 100/60”. Always verify the imprint with your pharmacist.
Neither avanafil nor dapoxetine is screened for in standard occupational or anti-doping panels. However, some sports organizations consider any prescription medication that may enhance performance; athletes should disclose usage to the relevant authority.
No. The product contains avanafil and dapoxetine, both of which are indicated only for adult males. Women should consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options.
Keep the medication in its original container, protected from heat and humidity. If traveling to a hot climate, store the bottle in a insulated bag or carry it on-board rather than in checked luggage, where temperatures can exceed recommended limits.
Splitting or crushing Super Avana is not recommended. The tablet’s design ensures proper release of both ingredients; altering its integrity may affect absorption and increase the risk of side effects.
Avanafil’s erectile-facilitating effect typically persists for up to six hours, while dapoxetine’s ejaculatory-control effect aligns with its short half-life, lasting roughly 2-3 hours. The combined benefit is therefore greatest within this overlapping window.
