DAPOXETINE has been found to be safe and effective for the treatment of premature ejaculation according to two major clinical trials. Dapoxetin is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common male sexual disorder which is associated with substantial personal and interpersonal negative psychological consequences.
USES
Premature Ejaculation
DESCRIPTION
Dapoxetine is an effective and well tolerated on-demand treatment for PE and is likely to fulfil the treatment needs of most patients. Although daily off-label antidepressant SSRIs are effective treatments for PE, supportive studies are limited by small study populations, infrequent use of PROs of control, distress and satisfaction as outcome measures and inconsistent reporting of known SSRI class-related safety effects. Currently, dapoxetine has the largest efficacy and safety database for use in men with PE, and it is the only agent for which SSRI class-related effects have been studied in a PE population.
