Dapoxetine marketed as Priligy (among and other brands) is the first compound developed specially for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in men 18–64 years old. Dapoxetine works by inhibiting the serotonin transporter increasing serotonin’s action at the post synaptic cleft and as a consequence promoting ejaculatory delay. As a member of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) family dapoxetine was initially created as an antidepressant.
