Longdep-30 mg Tablet

Longdep-30 Tablet – Dapoxetine HCl 30 mg by Medisra Pharma

Longdep-30 from Medisra Pharma contains Dapoxetine Hydrochloride IP 30 mg, taken on demand for premature ejaculation. Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, the same class as the antidepressants – but it was designed from the outset to be nothing like them in how it behaves in the body. Ordinary SSRIs are built to accumulate: they take weeks to reach a steady level and weeks to clear. Dapoxetine is the opposite, engineered to be absorbed and eliminated fast – peak levels in about an hour, and most of it gone within a day. That is what makes an on-demand tablet possible. Delaying ejaculation is a known effect of serotonin in this pathway; dapoxetine exploits it for a few hours and then leaves, instead of requiring a daily antidepressant for a problem that is not depression. Strip of 10 tablets.

Key Features

• Dapoxetine Hydrochloride IP 30 mg per tablet
• On-demand – taken 1 to 3 hours before sex, not daily
• Rapid absorption and rapid clearance, unlike a standard SSRI
• The starting strength; 60 mg is the step up if a doctor advises it
• Strip of 10 tablets from Medisra Pharma Pvt Ltd.

Composition

• Dapoxetine Hydrochloride IP – 30 mg
• Film-coated tablet. Excipients q.s. As printed on the pack

Uses & Benefits

• Delays ejaculation and lengthens the time to ejaculation in premature ejaculation
• Taken only when needed, one to three hours before sex – not every day
• Cleared from the body quickly, so it does not build up like a daily antidepressant
• Helps restore a sense of control and reduce the distress that goes with the problem
• Works best alongside behavioural techniques and, where relevant, couple counselling
• A single tablet per occasion, with a maximum of one dose in 24 hours

Directions for Use

• Take one tablet about 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity, with a full glass of water
• Never take more than one tablet in 24 hours
• It may be taken with or without food
• Swallow it whole – do not crush or chew
• Avoid alcohol entirely on a day you take it, and stand up slowly afterwards

Precautions

• Do not take this with, or within 14 days of, an SSRI, SNRI, MAOI, tricyclic antidepressant, lithium, tryptophan, St John’s wort or thioridazine. Combining serotonergic drugs risks serotonin syndrome
• Fainting is the effect to know about. Dapoxetine can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure on standing, with dizziness or loss of consciousness – usually within the first three hours of the first dose. Drink a full glass of water with the tablet, and sit or lie down at the first sign of light-headedness
• Do not drink alcohol with it. Alcohol adds to the dizziness and fainting risk
• Not for men with significant heart disease, heart failure, an irregular heartbeat, a history of fainting or mania, moderate to severe liver disease, or under 18 / over 64
• Do not drive or operate machinery after a dose until you know how it affects you. Nausea, headache, dizziness and diarrhoea are the common effects
• Tell your doctor about every medicine you take – ketoconazole, ritonavir, clarithromycin and similar drugs raise dapoxetine levels sharply

Storage

• Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture
• Keep the tablets in the blister until use
• Keep out of reach of children
