Dapocare 90 mg

When dapoxetine is prescribed appropriately, it can:

• Help delay ejaculation

• Improve control over ejaculation

• Reduce distress related to early ejaculation

• Support greater confidence during intimacy

• Improve satisfaction during sexual activity

• Provide an on-demand treatment option

• Avoid the need for routine daily dosing

These benefits relate to dapoxetine treatment generally. Taking a higher amount does not guarantee a longer delay or a better result, while unwanted effects can become more likely as the dose increases.

Serotonin is a natural chemical messenger involved in controlling ejaculation. After carrying a signal between nerve cells, serotonin is usually taken back up by the cell that released it.

Dapoxetine temporarily slows this reuptake process. The increased serotonin activity helps delay the signals responsible for triggering ejaculation, which can improve control and increase the time before ejaculation.

Dapoxetine does not directly increase blood flow to the penis. Dapocare is therefore a premature ejaculation medicine rather than a treatment that automatically produces an erection.

Dapocare 90 mg contains a high-strength dose of dapoxetine. Established treatment guidance recommends starting dapoxetine at 30 mg and increasing it, when appropriate, to a maximum of 60 mg based on effectiveness and tolerability.

Therefore, 90 mg should not be used as a routine or self-selected dose for premature ejaculation. If Dapocare 90 mg has been supplied, confirm the exact amount and administration instructions with the prescribing healthcare professional before taking the first tablet.

Dapoxetine is generally taken one to three hours before planned sexual activity, swallowed whole with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food and must not be used more than once within 24 hours.

Do not take the entire 90 mg tablet or divide it to create a different dose unless the required amount has been confirmed and the tablet is designed for accurate splitting. Never take a second dose because the first one did not produce the expected response.

Alcohol should be avoided. If dizziness, weakness, sweating, nausea or light-headedness develops, sit or lie down immediately and do not drive until the symptoms have completely passed.

Common Side Effects: Dapoxetine commonly causes nausea, dizziness and headache. Other possible effects include diarrhoea, stomach discomfort, dry mouth, increased sweating, tiredness, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, sleepiness, blurred vision and reduced concentration. Do not drive or operate machinery if the medicine affects alertness, vision or balance.

Serious Side Effects: Stop taking the medicine and seek medical help if fainting, seizures, a fast or irregular heartbeat, severe mood changes or loss of consciousness occurs. Urgent care is also required for breathing difficulty, facial swelling or possible serotonin syndrome, which can cause agitation, confusion, fever, heavy sweating, tremor, muscle stiffness and a rapid heartbeat.

Dapocare 90 mg should be avoided by:

• People allergic to dapoxetine

• Men younger than 18 years

• Men aged 65 years or older

• Women

• People with a history of fainting

• People with low blood pressure when standing

• People with kidney, liver or heart diseases

• People with uncontrolled epilepsy

• People with a history of mania

• People with severe depression

• People taking MAO inhibitors

• People taking serotonergic antidepressants

• People taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors

Men with glaucoma, bleeding disorders, kidney problems, seizures or a history of mood changes require a careful medical assessment before using dapoxetine.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines, supplements and recreational substances you use.

Important interactions include:

• MAO inhibitors

• SSRIs, SNRIs and tricyclic antidepressants

• Thioridazine

• Tramadol

• Lithium

• Linezolid

• Triptan migraine medicines

• St John’s wort

• Ketoconazole and itraconazole

• Ritonavir and other protease inhibitors

• Sildenafil, tadalafil and similar medicines

• Alpha-blockers

• Warfarin and other blood thinners

• Alcohol and recreational drugs

Combining dapoxetine with other medicines that increase serotonin can cause serotonin syndrome. Alcohol can intensify dizziness, reduced alertness, low blood pressure and the risk of fainting.

Do not combine Dapocare with another premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction medicine unless a healthcare professional has reviewed and approved the complete treatment plan.
