About dapoxetine
Dapoxetine belongs to the group of medicines known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Unlike other SSRIs, it is designed for short-term, on-demand use rather than daily therapy.
It works by increasing serotonin activity in the nervous system, which helps delay ejaculation and improve control during intercourse.
