When Not to Use?

Dapoxetine is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Dapoxetine or to any of the excipients. It is also contraindicated in patients with heart failure, conduction abnormalities (second or third degree AV block or sick sinus syndrome) not treated with a permanent pacemaker, significant ischemic heart disease or significant valvular disease. It may also interact with SSRls, MAO ls, thioridazine, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRls}, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs} and other serotonergic medicinal/herbal products. There were no unexpected events of overdose is reported with daily doses up to 240 mg (two 120 mg doses given 3 hours apart). In general, symptoms of overdose with SSRls include serotonin-mediated adverse reactions such as somnolence, gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea and vomiting, tachycardia, tremor, agitation and dizziness.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

In cases of overdose, standard supportive measures should be adopted as required. Due to high protein binding and large volume of distribution of Dapoxetine, forced diuresis, dialysis, hemoperfusion and exchange transfusion are unlikely to be of benefit. No specific antidotes for Dapoxetine are known. Store in a cool & dry place protected from light.

In particular, reports of depression, euphoria, and psychosis while on dapoxetine 60 mg occurred in nine (0·5%), three (0·2%), and one (0·1%) of the 1774 patients enrolled in the open-label phase, respectively; they also occurred at rates similar to those seen in the dapoxetine 60 mg treatment group of the phase III studies (table). Although studies of longer dapoxetine exposure have not been done, a recently completed randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled safety study (as yet unpublished) showed no signs of discontinuation symptoms or psychiatric effects during 2 months of continuous daily dosing of dapoxetine, followed by abrupt discontinuation of treatment. Although there are no data to rule out the possibility of emergence of new adverse effects beyond 1 year, the short half-life of dapoxetine predicts little drug accumulation with repeated daily dosing,1 and would suggest that dapoxetine is associated with a low risk of increased adverse events or the emergence of psychiatric disorders such as those mentioned above. In response to Salokangas's second question, the effects of an SSRI in a man who becomes depressed subsequent to years of dapoxetine use are unknown.
