HIDE SMILES / InChI
Dapoxetine hydrochloride is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs). In addition, dapoxetine inhibits voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channels in a dose-, time-, use-, and state (open)-dependent manner, independent of serotonin reuptake inhibition. Dapoxetine is indicated for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in men 18 to 64 years of age, who have all of the following: persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, on, or shortly after penetration and before the patient wishes; and marked personal distress or interpersonal difficulty as a consequence of PE; and poor control over ejaculation. The mechanism of action of dapoxetine in premature ejaculation is presumed to be linked to the inhibition of neuronal reuptake of serotonin and the subsequent potentiation of the neurotransmitter's action at pre- and post-synaptic receptors. The most common effects when taking dapoxetine are nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, diarrhea, and insomnia.

Sample Use Guides

The recommended starting dose for all patients is 30 mg, taken as needed approximately 1 to 3 hours prior to sexual activity. If the effect of 30 mg is insufficient and the side effects are acceptable, the dose may be increased to the maximum recommended dose of 60 mg. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is one dose every 24 hours.
Route of Administration: Oral
Effect of dapoxetine on Kv channels using freshly isolated coronary arterial smooth muscle cells was investigated. Whole-cell configuration was used to record Kv currents. Steady-state voltage-dependent inactivation curves were acquired using a two-step protocol. Peak currents were recorded with a 600-ms test potential to +40 mV after 7-s preconditioning steps (from -80 to +30 mV in steps of 10 mV) in the absence and presence of dapoxetine
