| Message: | Dapoxetine is a white powder substance and water-soluble. Taken 1-3 hours before sexual activity, it is rapidly absorbed in the body. Its maximum plasma concentration (Cm) is reached 1-2 hours after oral administration.
Dapoxetine can be taken with or without food.
Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that was designed specifically for premature ejaculation. SSRIs have been shown to be effective for the treatment of PE. The downside to most SSRIs is that they must be taken daily in order to achieve the desired effect. Dapoxetine was designed to be taken on an "as needed" basis and has been shown to be effective when taken < 3 hours before sexual activity. Studies have shown that dapoxetine increases the intra-vaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) - the time from vaginal penetration to male orgasm.
Dapoxetine, marketed as Priligy (among and other brands) is the first compound developed specially for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) for men at th age of 18-64 years old. Dapoxetine works by inhibiting the serotonin transporter, increasing serotonin's action at the post synaptic cleft, so as to delay ejaculation.. As a member of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) family, Dapoxetine was initially created as an antidepressant. However, unlike other SSRIs, Dapoxetine is absorbed and eliminated rapidly in the body. Its fast response makes it suitable for the treatment of PE but not as an antidepressant.
