Dapoxetine side effects
Dapoxetine is a drug belonging to SSRI drugs having a short half-life.
That means the patients' plasma gets it quickly and the plasma levels are normal again after 1-2 hours.
Dapoxetine treatment is not without major side effects, however. These included:
- Nausea in 8.7 percent of men getting low-dose and 20.1 percent of men getting high-dose dapoxetine.
- Headache in 5.9 percent of men getting low-dose and 6.8 percent of men getting high-dose dapoxetine.
- Diarrhea in 6.8 percent of men getting high-dose dapoxetine.
- Dizziness in 6.2 percent of men getting high-dose dapoxetine.
During studies side effects occurred with greater frequency in the dapoxetine 100-mg group (16.1%)
compared with the dapoxetine 60-mg (5.6%) and placebo (0.7%) groups. On the basis of this response
and acceptable tolerability, the 60-mg dose was selected for the ongoing large-scale study.
