How does it Work?
Poxet 30 mg works on the brain’s serotonin system. It belongs to a group of medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). For men with PE, the serotonin levels might drop too quickly during sex. This may cause them to ejaculate too early.
Dapoxetine is a fast-acting SSRI. It works by blocking the reabsorption of serotonin by nerve cells. This causes an increase in available serotonin. The high levels of serotonin increase the time taken to ejaculate. It improves control over ejaculation. The release process occurs when the man wishes to occur. This may help delay the release of semen long enough for satisfactory intercourse.
Uses
It is used to treat Premature Ejaculation (PE). PE is a condition in which semen leaves the body (ejaculate) sooner than a man or his partner would like during sex. Men with PE often ejaculate within one minute of intercourse.
