Dapoxetine 60mg works by selectively inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the brain. This increased serotonin level helps delay ejaculation. The drug targets specific serotonin transporter proteins, leading to a prolonged duration of sexual activity.
Dosage and Administration
Always follow your doctor’s prescription for dosage and frequency. Typical starting doses are lower than 60mg. Never exceed the prescribed amount. Take the medication approximately one to three hours before anticipated sexual activity. Food does not significantly affect absorption. Consult your doctor if you have questions or experience any adverse effects.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea. These are generally mild and transient. More serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor of all your medical conditions and medications before starting dapoxetine, especially if you have heart problems or are taking other medications that interact with serotonin.
Important Considerations
Dapoxetine is specifically for premature ejaculation. It is not a general treatment for sexual dysfunction. Do not combine it with other medications without your doctor’s approval. Alcohol consumption may increase the risk of side effects. Consistent, open communication with your doctor is paramount for safe and effective use.
