Dapoxetine for treating erectile dysfunction
If a man with erectile dysfunction walks into a pharmacy, he will immediately be offered dozens of different medications to address this sensitive issue.But sometimes, while there are no issues with achieving an erection, the quality of sexual intercourse fails to satisfy either partner. First, it is necessary to identify the cause.
All doctors are convinced that the cause of premature ejaculation is excessive sensitivity of the nerve endings in the genitals, as well as improper functioning of the smooth muscles of the penis.
A medication such as dapoxetine is designed specifically to satisfy both partners by prolonging ejaculation. The main active ingredient in this medication is dapoxetine hydrochloride. Manufacturers offer dapoxetine in two dosages. The first contains 30 mg, and the second 60 mg. Like any medication, dapoxetine contains a number of additional substances that help the tablets maintain their shape and aid absorption in the body.
this drug was first developed by Eli Lilly in the United States. Today, there are generic versions developed by Russian scientists as well. Interestingly, the drug was originally developed as an antidepressant, but because its half-life is too short, it is not suitable for treating depression—even though that was its intended purpose. However, it is used quite frequently in urology, as it truly helps people feel complete satisfaction from intimacy with their loved ones.
The mechanism of action of dapoxetine is multifaceted and complex. It is well known that serotonin enables nerve endings to transmit signals to one another. However, these signals are important not only for nerve endings but also for other organs in the body. Therefore, as long as serotonin is present and abundant, everything is fine. But as soon as its levels drop, problems begin. Dapoxetine helps serotonin enhance its effect. As a result, the penis becomes capable of maintaining a longer-lasting erection. It is crucial that dapoxetine does not affect all receptors, but only those that influence the quality of the erection. Not all antidepressants have the same effect, as they affect nerve endings not only in the genital organs. This interferes with a person’s daily life and reduces their quality of life. Dapoxetine is free of these side effects, so treatment with the drug does not affect one’s usual rhythm of life, which is an undeniable advantage.
