What treatment is available?

A medicine marketed by American pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson is licensed in a number of EU countries. It is short-acting, which means the substance is broken down inside the body quickly and belongs to the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). This kind of medicine is typically used to treat depression. A very frequent side effect of this drug group is a delay of male climax, which can be beneficial to men sufferning from premature ejaculation.

What is it used for?

The medication is prescribed to treat premature ejaculation (PE), one of the most common sexual problems affecting men. The condition is difficult to define as each individual or each couple will have their own idea as to how long satisfactory intercourse should last. A survey among several thousand British men revelead that 30% consider themselves as suffering from PE with the average lasting time once inside the vagina being less than 1.8 minutes. This can cause great distress to both the man and the partner and have a very negative impact on the self-esteem.

How does treatment work?

The medication selectively inhibits the uptake of serotonine, a neurotransmitter (a naturally occurring chemical substance) in the brain. To this date it is not fully known how exactly this interferes with the ejaculatory process. As a result, men who cannot control their ejaculation will be able to last longer, on an average basis about 200 – 300% longer.

How to take the treatment

PE treatments is sold in packs of three tablets. One tablet is taken as and when needed. Take one tablet several hours before intercourse.
