Serious Side Effects

Always follow your doctor’s dosage instructions precisely. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Before Using Dapoxetine
A thorough medical evaluation is recommended before taking dapoxetine. Your doctor will assess your overall health and any potential risks. Open communication with your physician is critical to ensure safe and effective use.
