Abstract

Premature ejaculation (PE) remains one of the most common male sexual dysfunction, and is characterized by the loss or absence of ejaculatory control, marked distress or interpersonal difficulty as well as by a short intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT). Dapoxetine is the first SFDA-approved pharmacological agent for PE in China. Clinical trials of dapoxetine reported in the literature have mainly been performed in Western populations. By comparison, there are far fewer studies on the efficacy and tolerability of dapoxetine in Chinese patients with PE. This study investigates the efficacy and tolerability of dapoxetine treatment in Chinese men with PE. This study was open and prospective in its design, and included patients treated in our hospital with dapoxetine from February 2014 to February 2015. All patients received dapoxetine 30mg prn (1–3 hours before sexual intercourse) for 4 weeks. Data on their IELT and Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP) were recorded before and after the completion of dapoxetine treatment regimen. Data on the Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were collected in the one-month follow-up after treatment completion.
