What does it do?

Dapoxetine hydrochloride is an ingredient that belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is primarily used in medications for the treatment of premature ejaculation. This ingredient helps improve sexual function.

Dapoxetine hydrochloride blocks the reabsorption of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain, thereby increasing serotonin levels. This delays the ejaculatory reflex and alleviates symptoms of premature ejaculation. In other words, it has the effect of delaying ejaculation.
