What Is Duratia 60 mg?
Duratia 60 mg contains dapoxetine, a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used on demand to help treat premature ejaculation (PE) in adult men. It works on serotonin signalling involved in ejaculation and can help improve control over ejaculation and delay ejaculation during sexual activity.
Premature ejaculation is a common sexual health condition involving ejaculation that occurs sooner than desired, difficulty controlling ejaculation, and associated personal or relationship distress. Treatment suitability depends on the individual’s symptoms, medical history, and response to treatment.
Premature ejaculation can have different contributing factors. In some men, a hypersensitive penis and premature ejaculation may be associated with difficulties controlling ejaculation.

- Treatment of Premature Ejaculation: Duratia 60 is an effective treatment for premature ejaculation in men.
- Increased Sexual Satisfaction: By improving ejaculatory control in men with premature ejaculation, dapoxetine may help reduce the impact of PE on sexual relationships and overall well-being.
- Improved Quality of Life: Premature ejaculation can have a significant impact on a man’s quality of life, leading to stress, anxiety, and relationship problems.
How Does Dapoxetine 60 mg Work?
Dapoxetine belongs to a group of medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It increases serotonin activity in the nervous system, which can help regulate the ejaculation reflex.
When taken before sexual activity, dapoxetine may help improve control over ejaculation and delay ejaculation in adult men with premature ejaculation. Unlike SSRIs that are commonly used as daily medicines for other conditions, dapoxetine is designed for on-demand use for premature ejaculation.
