Eyaculación precoz is the term used when a man orgasms (ejaculates) more quickly than he and/or his partner would like. For some men it can be temporary and can get better on its own; for others, prescribed treatments such as dapoxetine tablets can be helpful.

Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor medicine which has been specially developed for the treatment of premature ejaculation. It increases the time it takes to ejaculate and can improve the control over the ejaculation. It starts to work very quickly, so it is taken when you anticipate having sex, rather than every day. You have to take it 1-3 hours before you have sex.

Before taking dapoxetine

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine can only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking dapoxetine it is important that your doctor knows:

  • If you have a tendency to faint.

  • Si tienes una afección cardíaca.

  • If you have a bleeding or clotting disorder.

  • Si tienes epilepsia.

  • If you have ever had a mental health problem causing 'high' or 'low' moods, such as bipolar disorder, depression or mania.

  • If you have increased pressure in your eye, a condition called glaucoma.

  • Si tienes algún problema con el funcionamiento de tu hígado, o si tienes algún problema con el funcionamiento de tus riñones.

  • Si alguna vez has tenido una reacción alérgica a un medicamento.

  • Si está tomando otros medicamentos. Esto incluye cualquier medicamento que se pueda comprar sin receta, así como medicamentos herbales y complementarios.

How to take dapoxetine tablets

  • Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about dapoxetine, and will also provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you could experience from taking it.

  • Take dapoxetine exactly as your doctor tells you to. Drink a full glass of water at the same time as you take a tablet. The recommended starting dose is one 30 mg tablet, taken 1 to 3 hours before you anticipate having sex. Your doctor may later decide to increase your dose to one 60 mg tablet. Your doctor will only prescribe the higher dose for you if the 30 mg dose is insufficient, and providing you have not experienced any side-effects such as feeling faint.

  • Do not take more than one tablet in any 24 hours. Dapoxetine is not intended for regular daily use - you should only take it before you anticipate having sex.

  • The tablet has a bitter taste, so swallow it whole without chewing. You can take it either with or without food.

Obteniendo el máximo de tu tratamiento

  • Make sure you keep your follow-on appointments with your doctor. This is so your doctor can check on your progress.

  • Do not drink alcohol whilst taking dapoxetine, as it might increase the sedative effects of the alcohol. It can also increase the risk of fainting.

  • Do not use any recreational drugs while you are taking dapoxetine, as this could lead to you experiencing serious side-effects.

  • A chemical in grapefruit juice can increase the amount of dapoxetine in your bloodstream and this increases the risk of side-effects. If you do drink grapefruit juice, do not take a dapoxetine tablet for at least 24 hours afterwards.

  • Take care if you are a driver. If you feel faint or dizzy, do not drive and do not use tools or machines.

  • If you buy any medicines, please check with your doctor or a pharmacist that they are suitable for you to take with dapoxetine.

Along with their useful effects, most medicines can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them.

Preguntas frecuentes

What is premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is when a man ejaculates more quickly than he or his partner would like. It can be a temporary issue that resolves on its own, but treatments like dapoxetine tablets are available for those who need them.

What should I do if I am already taking other medications?

You must inform your doctor about all other medicines you are currently taking. This includes non-prescription drugs, as well as herbal and complementary medicines. This is important because some medicines are not suitable to be taken with dapoxetine, or may require extra care.

Are there any specific foods or drinks I should avoid while taking dapoxetine?

Yes, you should avoid drinking alcohol as it can increase the sedative effects of alcohol and raise the risk of fainting. Also, a chemical in grapefruit juice can increase the amount of dapoxetine in your bloodstream, increasing the risk of side-effects. If you drink grapefruit juice, wait at least 24 hours before taking dapoxetine.

Can dapoxetine affect my ability to drive or use machinery?

Yes, you should be careful if you are a driver. If you experience feelings of faintness or dizziness after taking dapoxetine, you should not drive or operate tools or machines.

What should I do if I suspect an overdose?

If you suspect that you or someone else might have taken too much dapoxetine, you should go immediately to the accident and emergency department of your local hospital. Remember to take the medicine container with you, even if it is empty.

No guardes medicamentos caducados o no deseados. Debes llevarlos a tu farmacia local, donde los desecharán de manera segura por ti.
