Dapoxetine Treatment Has Fewer Side Effects in Men with Premature Ejaculation
Men who take dapoxetine for premature ejaculation (PE) have low rates of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), new research from Italy suggests.
Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that has been approved for PE treatment in over 60 countries. While the drug is considered safe, more research on TEAEs was warranted.
The study included 7,545 men from seven European countries. All of them had PE. Their average age was 41 years.
For 12 weeks, 6,128 men took at least one dose of dapoxetine while 1,417 took an alternative oral treatment (AOT).
TEAEs of special interest were more common in the AOT group. These included neurocognitive- and mood-related concerns as well as events in the urogenital/sexual function category.
