Description

Dapoxetine joins the ranks of erectile dysfunction drugs such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra), and some dopamine agonists such as cabergoline (Dostinex) and pramipexole, as drugs that can be used to improve male sexual health. Misuse of these drugs as aphrodisiacs or sexual enhancers in individuals who do not suffer from sexual health problems is also a possibility, and there have been some concerns about doctors being pressured to prescribe such drugs off-label to people who do not actually have a medical need for the drug. Some research has shown dapoxetine to have a benefit in the treatment of premature ejaculation.
