Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common male sexual disorder which is associated with substantial personal and interpersonal negative psychological factors. Drug treatment of PE with an off-label antidepressant selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drug is common. The lack of an

Dapoxetine, a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is widely prescribed for the treatment of patients with premature ejaculation. The effects of dapoxetine were examined on cloned Kv4.3 channels stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique.

One of the medical problems is premature ejaculation which characterized by quick ejaculation and reaching orgasm rapidly. Dapoxetine was accepted as off-label antidepressant used in the treatment of premature ejaculation, so hereby we provide an innovative, non-extractive, environmentally safe protocol

International journal of clinical practice, 65(1), 16-26 (2010-12-16)
Current and upcoming treatment options for premature ejaculation (PE) are of global clinical interest. In 2008, the International Society for Sexual Medicine published an evidence-based definition for PE. While there are no US Food and Drug Administration-approved therapies for PE
