Abstract

There is a close relationship between male erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE) on the pathogenesis, leading a high comorbidity rate and a need of simultaneous treatment in clinical practice. Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) Dapoxetine are first-line oral drugs for ED and PE, respectively. In recent years, multi-country clinical guidelines have provided suggestions and guidance for the combination of these two drugs, with the safety and effectiveness being further explored and verified. This review summarized the status of ED and PE comorbidity, treatment principles, and research progress on the safety and effectiveness of Dapoxetine combined with PDE5i, in order to provide reference for the combination therapy of ED and PE comorbidity.
