Duratia 90 mg contains dapoxetine, which is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat premature ejaculation (PE) in men. Dapoxetine works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which can help delay ejaculation and improve control over ejaculation during sexual activity.
If you are already taking antidepressants, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking Duratia 90 mg or any medication containing dapoxetine. This is because combining dapoxetine with certain antidepressants can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially serious condition characterized by symptoms such as confusion, agitation, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, sweating, and tremors.
Some antidepressants, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), can also affect serotonin levels in the brain. Combining dapoxetine with these medications may increase the overall level of serotonin in the body, further increasing the risk of serotonin syndrome.
Your healthcare professional will consider your individual medical history, the specific antidepressants you are taking, and other factors before determining whether Duratia 90 mg is safe and appropriate for you. They may adjust your dosage or recommend alternative treatment options to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
