1.What Dapocitin is and what it is used for
Dapocitin contains an active substance called' dapoxetine'.This belongs to a group of medicines called' selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors' (SSRIs). Dapocitin may also be known as a 'urological' medicine.
Dapocitin increases the time it takes to ejaculate and can improve the control over the ejaculation. This may reduce the frustration or worry about fast ejaculation.
Dapocitin is used to treat premature ejaculation,in men between 18and 64 years old.
Premature ejaculation is when a man ejaculates with little sexual stimulation and before the man wants. This can cause problems for the man and may cause problems in sexual relationships.
