How long can I delay taking dapoxetine

The delay effect of dapoxetine varies from person to person and can generally last for 1-3 hours. The specific time is influenced by factors such as drug absorption rate, individual metabolic differences, medication dosage, dietary status, and psychological factors. Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor primarily used for the treatment of premature ejaculation. Medications increase sexual activity time by delaying ejaculation reflex, usually reaching peak blood drug concentration within 1-2 hours after taking. Absorption is faster on an empty stomach, and a high-fat diet may delay the effectiveness of the medication. Young and metabolically fast individuals may have a shorter duration of action, while middle-aged and elderly patients may have a longer effect due to reduced metabolism. Psychological stress or first-time drug users may experience unstable effects, and some populations may experience increased tolerance after repeated use.

Some patients may experience ineffective or short-lived effects, which may be related to low drug sensitivity, failure to take adequate doses as prescribed, or other health issues. Severe liver and kidney dysfunction with metabolic abnormalities can lead to prolonged drug efficacy or increased risk of side effects. The combined use of antidepressants or alcohol may interfere with the drug's effects. People who are allergic to drug ingredients may experience adverse effects. Adjusting the dosage without medical evaluation may cause adverse reactions such as palpitations or dizziness.

When using dapoxetine, it should be avoided to take it with alcohol or central nervous system inhibitors. Maintaining a regular daily routine during medication can help stabilize the efficacy. It is recommended to adjust the medication plan under the guidance of a doctor and combine it with behavioral therapy to enhance the effect. If there is a persistent erection lasting for more than 4 hours or severe headache, seek medical attention immediately. Daily pelvic floor exercises and psychological counseling can help improve sexual function and avoid excessive dependence on medication.
