Duratia 60 mg Tablets

How does it work?

Duratia 60 mg contains Dapoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs) that is used to treat premature ejaculation in men. It works by increasing the amount of serotonin in the nervous system and brain, which helps in increasing ejaculation time. It blocks the reabsorption of serotonin into neurons, making serotonin readily available to the brain. Duratia 60 mg also helps with achieving better control over ejaculation. Thus, it enhances the overall experience.

Uses

•   Premature ejaculation: A condition where a man orgasms (ejaculates) quicker and with less sexual stimulation than anticipated. This makes sexual activity less enjoyable and dissatisfying.

Dosage

Duratia 60 mg tablet is meant to be taken 1 to 3 hours before the sexual activity begins. Consult your doctor to choose the most ideal dose for you. Different users take different amounts of time to process the drug. Duratia 60 mg is usually recommended when Duratia 30 mg doesn’t give you the desired results. 

It is preferable to take Duratia without food or with a light meal as some fatty foods could decrease the absorption of the drug. It could also delay the process by a few minutes.

Missed dose

This medicine is taken as and when required. Therefore, the chances of missing a dose are unlikely.

Overdose

If someone has overdosed and is facing serious side effects like chest pain or trouble with breathing, call your doctor or reach out to your nearest hospital immediately.
