PRILIMED 30

Description

Dapoxetine HCL (Dapoxetine Hydrochloride) is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) developed specifically for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in men.

Key Facts

• Drug class: Short-acting SSRI

• Purpose: Delays ejaculation by increasing serotonin activity in the nervous system, which helps improve control over ejaculation timing.

• Onset & Duration:

  • Rapid absorption — works within 1–3 hours after oral intake

  • Short half-life (~1.5 hours), so it’s taken on-demand, not daily

Medical Uses

• Primary indication: Premature ejaculation in adult men

• Not intended for depression or anxiety treatment due to its very short duration of action

Dosage

• Starting dose: 30 mg, taken 1–3 hours before sexual activity

• If tolerated but insufficient: May increase to 60 mg (max dose)

• Not for daily continuous use — should only be taken when needed
