The main purpose of the drug Duratia is to treat men’s premature ejaculation (PE). Dapoxetine, a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) made especially for on-demand use to postpone ejaculation and enhance control over when it occurs, is its active ingredient. Dapoxetine helps postpone the ejaculatory response by raising serotonin levels in the neurological system. Dapoxetine can be used right before intercourse because it is quickly absorbed and removed, unlike conventional SSRIs used to treat depression. ​
