About

Dapoxetine is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) specifically developed and approved for the on-demand treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in men aged 18 to 64 years. Unlike other SSRIs used for depression, dapoxetine has a rapid onset of action and a short half-life, making it suitable for use shortly before sexual activity. It works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the synaptic cleft, particularly in areas of the brain involved in ejaculatory control. This modulation of serotonin neurotransmission helps to delay the ejaculatory reflex, thereby improving ejaculatory control and increasing the time to ejaculation. Its targeted pharmacological profile allows for effective management of PE without the need for continuous daily dosing, offering a significant improvement in sexual satisfaction and reduction in distress for affected individuals.
