Summary
Dapoxetine is used to treat premature ejaculation, which is when ejaculation happens sooner than desired during sexual activity. Sildenafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. Both medications aim to improve sexual function but target different issues.
Dapoxetine works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which helps delay ejaculation. Serotonin is a chemical that affects mood and behavior. Sildenafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping to achieve and maintain an erection. It does this by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5, which regulates blood flow.
Dapoxetine is usually taken as a single dose of 30 mg to 60 mg, 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity. Sildenafil is typically taken as a single dose of 50 mg, about 1 hour before sexual activity, but can be adjusted to 25 mg or 100 mg. Both medications are taken orally and are used as needed, not for daily use.
Dapoxetine can cause side effects like nausea, dizziness, and headache. Sildenafil may cause headaches, flushing, and indigestion. Both medications can cause dizziness and headaches, and they share the risk of causing fainting, especially when combined with alcohol or other medications.
Dapoxetine should not be used by people with heart problems, as it can cause dizziness and fainting. Sildenafil should not be used with nitrates, which are medications for chest pain, as it can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Both should be used under medical supervision, and alcohol should be avoided to reduce the risk of side effects.
Indications and Purpose
How does combination of Dapoxetine and Sildenafil work?
Dapoxetine is a medication used to treat premature ejaculation, which is a condition where ejaculation happens sooner than desired during sexual activity. It works by increasing the levels of serotonin, which is a chemical in the brain that helps to delay ejaculation. This action helps to improve control over ejaculation and increase the time it takes to ejaculate. Sildenafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, which helps to achieve and maintain an erection. Sildenafil does this by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5, which is responsible for regulating blood flow in the penis. Both Dapoxetine and Sildenafil are used to improve sexual function, but they work in different ways. Dapoxetine affects brain chemicals, while Sildenafil affects blood flow.

How long does it take for combination of Dapoxetine and Sildenafil to work?
The time it takes for a combination medicine to start working depends on the individual medicines involved. For example, if the combination includes ibuprofen, which is a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory drug, it typically starts working within 20 to 30 minutes. If the combination includes paracetamol, which is another pain reliever, it usually begins to work within 30 to 60 minutes. Both medicines are used to relieve pain and reduce fever, which means they share these common attributes. However, ibuprofen also reduces inflammation, which is swelling and redness, while paracetamol does not. When combined, these medicines can provide a broader range of relief, addressing both pain and inflammation more effectively.

A unique attribute of Dapoxetine is that it is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, which means it works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain to delay ejaculation. Sildenafil, on the other hand, is a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, which means it helps increase blood flow to the penis to help maintain an erection. Both medicines should be kept out of reach of children and should not be used past their expiration date.
