At a glance
Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used for the treatment of premature ejaculation in adult men aged 18 to 64 years. It increases the time to ejaculate and improves control over ejaculation.
Indications
- Premature ejaculation (men 18 to 64 years of age)
Pharmacology
The mechanism of action of Dapoxetine in premature ejaculation is presumed to be linked to the inhibition of neuronal reuptake of serotonin and the subsequent potentiation of the neurotransmitter's action at pre-and post synaptic receptors. Dapoxetine is rapidly absorbed with maximum plasma concentrations occurring approximately 1-2 hours after tablet intake. It has a rapid elimination with a terminal half life of approximately 19 hours.
Dosage
Adult (18-64 years): Initial dose 30 mg, taken approximately 1-3 hours before sexual activity. May be increased to 60 mg if needed. Maximum once every 24 hours. Review treatment after 4 weeks (6 doses) and at least every 6 months thereafter.
