DURATIA-60

Description: DURATIA-60 is a medication manufactured by Fortune Health Care. It is available in tablet form, with each tablet containing 60mg of the active substance Dapoxetine. Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that is primarily used to treat premature ejaculation (PE) in men.

Active Substance:

• Dapoxetine: Dapoxetine is a short-acting SSRI that selectively inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood and ejaculation. By increasing serotonin levels in the brain, Dapoxetine helps delay ejaculation and improve control over ejaculation, thereby extending the time to ejaculation during sexual intercourse.

Form:

• 10 pills x 60 mg: This indicates that each pack of DURATIA-60 contains 10 tablets, with each tablet containing 60mg of Dapoxetine.

Uses: DURATIA-60 (Dapoxetine) is primarily prescribed for the following purpose:

1. Premature Ejaculation Treatment: It is used to treat premature ejaculation (PE) in men, a common sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to control or delay ejaculation, leading to distress or interpersonal difficulty during sexual activity.

How to Use: DURATIA-60 tablets are taken orally, usually 1 to 3 hours before anticipated sexual activity, with a full glass of water. The dosage and timing of administration may vary depending on individual response and tolerance. It is important to follow the prescribing healthcare provider’s instructions carefully.

Storage Conditions: DURATIA-60 tablets should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. It is essential to keep the medication out of reach of children and pets.

Mechanism of Action: Dapoxetine works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the brain, thereby increasing serotonin levels and prolonging the time to ejaculation. By delaying ejaculation, Dapoxetine helps improve control over ejaculation and extends the duration of sexual intercourse, leading to greater satisfaction for both partners.

Precautions:

• Patients with a history of psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, or cardiovascular disease should use Dapoxetine cautiously and under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
• Dapoxetine is not intended for continuous daily use and should only be taken as needed before sexual activity.

Contraindications: DURATIA-60 is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Dapoxetine or any component of the formulation. It should not be used in men with moderate to severe hepatic impairment or severe renal impairment.

Drug Interactions: Dapoxetine may interact with certain medications, including monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, and other drugs that increase serotonin levels. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all medications they are taking to avoid potential interactions.

Side Effects: Common side effects of Dapoxetine may include headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, and fatigue. Other potential side effects include dry mouth, decreased libido, and erectile dysfunction. Serious adverse reactions such as serotonin syndrome, seizures, and suicidal ideation may occur but are rare.

Patients should consult their healthcare provider for personalized advice and information regarding DURATIA-60 (Dapoxetine), including its uses, dosage, and potential side effects.
