Description
Duratia 30mg is a medication used primarily for treating premature ejaculation (PE) in men. The active ingredient in Duratia is Dapoxetine, which is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that helps delay ejaculation. It is one of the few medications specifically approved for on-demand treatment of PE.
Detailed Information on Duratia 30mg:
Active Ingredient:
- Dapoxetine (30mg)
Mechanism of Action:
- Dapoxetine increases serotonin levels in the brain, which in turn helps to improve ejaculatory control and delay the onset of ejaculation. It is thought to work by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin at the synaptic cleft, leading to an increase in serotonin concentration and a delay in ejaculation.
Indication:
- Treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in adult men aged 18 to 64 years, when used on demand (taken prior to sexual activity).
Dosage:
- The usual starting dose is 30mg, which should be taken 1 to 3 hours before planned sexual activity.
- It is typically not recommended to take Duratia more than once in 24 hours.
- Depending on individual tolerance and effectiveness, a healthcare provider might adjust the dose to 60mg.
How to Take:
- Duratia should be taken orally with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food.
