How long does a dapoxetine tube last?

The duration of effect of dapoxetine is usually 4-6 hours, but the specific duration of action may vary depending on individual differences, dosage and method of administration. Dapoxetine is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor used to treat premature ejaculation. It needs to be taken 1-3 hours before sexual intercourse.

Dapoxetine increases serotonin concentration in the synaptic cleft by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin by neurons, thereby prolonging ejaculation latency. Its blood concentration reaches its peak 1-2 hours after taking the drug, and its half-life is short, about 1.5 hours, so the duration of its effect is limited. The usual recommended dose is 30 mg, which can be increased to 60 mg if the effect is not satisfactory and the drug is well tolerated. After taking the medicine, you need to drink an appropriate amount of water and avoid taking it on an empty stomach to reduce adverse reactions such as dizziness. Some patients may experience mild headache, nausea or diarrhea, which usually subsides as the body adapts.

When using dapoxetine, care should be taken to avoid combining it with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, thioridazine and other drugs. Patients with cardiovascular disease should use it with caution. This medication needs to be taken as needed and continuous daily use is not recommended. If serious reactions such as palpitations and syncope occur, you need to stop taking the medicine and seek medical treatment immediately. Patients with long-term premature ejaculation are advised to combine psycho-behavioral therapy, such as the stop-and-go technique or the squeeze method, to enhance their ability to control ejaculation. Maintaining a regular schedule, moderate exercise and communication with your partner can also help improve sexual function.
