Dapoxetine Tablets are a medicine primarily used for the management of premature ejaculation (PE) in men. They are considered a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).

Here are the key details:

• Composition: Each tablet contains Dapoxetine hydrochloride as the active ingredient, usually available in strengths such as 30 mg and 60 mg.

• Dosage Form: Supplied as oral tablets, typically film-coated.

• Mode of Action: Dapoxetine increases serotonin activity in the nervous system, which helps improve control over ejaculation and extends the time before climax.

• Use: Taken by adult men (aged 18–64 years) who experience persistent or recurrent premature ejaculation. It is not intended for daily use but is usually taken 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity.

• Treatment Goal: To improve ejaculatory control, reduce distress or frustration, and enhance sexual satisfaction.

• Side Effects: Commonly reported include dizziness, nausea, headache, dry mouth, diarrhea, and insomnia. Some men may also experience fainting or drops in blood pressure, especially if combined with alcohol or recreational drugs.

• Precautions:

  • Not recommended for men with certain heart problems (like arrhythmias, heart failure, or history of fainting).

  • Should not be used with other serotonergic medicines or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.

  • Avoid alcohol while taking Dapoxetine, as it can worsen side effects such as dizziness or fainting.

  • Not meant for use in women or men under 18 years of age.
