Duralast 30 mg, containing dapoxetine, is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor SSRI that modulates serotonin activity in the central nervous system (CNS) to treat premature ejaculation (PE). It delays the ejaculatory reflex, giving men more control over ejaculation and improving their sexual experience.
Mechanism of Action
Serotonin Modulation
Serotonin Role in Ejaculation
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, emotions, arousal, and the ejaculatory reflex.
How does Dapoxetine Work?
Dapoxetine increases serotonin levels by inhibiting serotonin reuptake in nerve cells. Higher serotonin levels enhance communication between brain regions that regulate ejaculation, delaying the signals responsible for ejaculation.
Impact on the Ejaculatory Reflex-Control over Reflex
By modulating serotonin activity, dapoxetine helps delay the transmission of signals from the brain to the spinal cord that triggers ejaculation. It increases Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time (IELT), giving men better control over ejaculation during intercourse.
Rapid Onset of Action
Dapoxetine is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) designed for on-demand use. It works within 1-3 hours of ingestion, providing effective control during planned sexual activity.
Temporary Relief-Short Half-Life
Unlike long-acting SSRIs, your body absorbs and eliminates dapoxetine rapidly from the body. It makes it ideal for on-demand use, providing temporary symptom relief during the effective window without requiring daily medication.
