Drugs in Allopathy

The constant rise in dose maintain their efficacy but also increases the side-effect associated with it. Evidence has shown increased suicidal tendencies on prolonged medication, which ends their story for being used as a treatment for Premature ejaculation.

The Tricyclic Antidepressants- Clomipramine is a popular on-demand prescription drug known to improve sexual satisfaction both from partners and patients. It makes a person very dizzy and causes a lot of muscle fatigue. The adverse effect due to continuous dosing is significantly worse than SSRIs.

Another advantage it offers is a shorter refractory period that provides erection after intercourse and helps you last longer in bed. This drug should only be taken as directed by your doctor. It has certain side-effects on long-term usage and is not approved for Premature ejaculation.
