DAPOXETINE

Overview:

Dapoxetine is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) specifically developed for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in men.

Classification:

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)

Uses:

Used to treat premature ejaculation in adult men.

Improves control over ejaculation.

Enhances sexual satisfaction for both partners.

Helps reduce anxiety associated with premature ejaculation.

How It Works:

Dapoxetine is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by increasing serotonin activity in the central nervous system — particularly in areas of the brain and spinal cord that regulate ejaculatory reflexes.Serotonin (5-HT) is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in inhibiting ejaculation. By blocking the reuptake of serotonin at the synapse, dapoxetine enhances serotonin signaling, which helps delay ejaculation, increase intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT), and improve control over ejaculation.

Dosage:

As prescribed by your doctor.

Side Effects:

Nausea

Headache

Diarrhea

Insomnia (difficulty sleeping)

Fatigue

Increased sweating (hyperhidrosis)

Anxiety

Precautions:

Dapoxetine should be used with caution and only under medical supervision, especially in individuals with underlying health conditions. It is contraindicated in patients with significant heart problems, such as arrhythmias, heart failure, or a history of fainting, due to the risk of syncope (sudden loss of consciousness) and orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing up). It should also not be used by those with moderate to severe liver impairment, and caution is advised in patients with kidney disease.
