Duratia (Dapoxetine 60 mg) is a medication used to treat premature ejaculation in men. It works by delaying the onset of ejaculation, allowing for longer-lasting sexual performance. However, there are specific situations where Duratia should not be taken or used with caution. Here are key scenarios: 1. Heart Conditions: Cardiovascular issues: If you have a history of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, or irregular heartbeats, you should avoid taking Duratia. It can affect your heart's electrical activity, which may worsen pre-existing conditions. Severe cardiovascular conditions: Individuals with low blood pressure (hypotension), heart failure, or other severe heart problems should avoid using Dapoxetine, as it may exacerbate these issues. 2. Use with Certain Medications: Nitrates: If you are taking nitrate medications (e.g., nitroglycerin, used for chest pain), Duratia should not be taken. Combining these drugs can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs): If you are using or have recently used MAO inhibitors (e.g., for depression or psychiatric conditions), Duratia should be avoided, as this combination could lead to serious drug interactions. Other serotonergic drugs: Do not take Duratia if you are taking other SSRIs, SNRIs, or tricyclic antidepressants because combining these drugs may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, a dangerous condition caused by excessive serotonin in the brain. MAO inhibitors or thiazole medications (often used to treat psychiatric disorders) should not be taken concurrently with Duratia. 3. Kidney or Liver Impairment: Severe kidney or liver disease: If you have significant renal (kidney) or hepatic (liver) impairment, Duratia may not be safe. The drug is metabolized in the liver, and impaired liver function can increase the drug's levels in the body, leading to toxicity or more severe side effects. 4. History of Seizures or Epilepsy: Seizure disorders: Men who have a history of seizures or epilepsy should not take Duratia, as the Duratia could increase the risk of seizures. 5. Allergies: Allergic reactions: If you have ever had an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, swelling, breathing difficulties) to Dapoxetine or any other serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), you should not take Duratia. 6. Use with Alcohol: Excessive alcohol consumption: Avoid high levels of alcohol when taking Duratia. Alcohol can increase the risk of side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, and lowered sexual performance. It may also amplify side effects like nausea and headaches. 7. Age Restrictions: Men under 18 or over 65: Duratia is not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age or over 65 years of age unless specifically prescribed and monitored by a healthcare provider. In older individuals, there is an increased risk of side effects like low blood pressure, dizziness, or other cardiovascular issues. 8. Drug Interactions: CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers: Dapoxetine is metabolized by the enzyme CYP3A4. Strong inhibitors (such as ketoconazole, ritonavir, or clarithromycin) or strong inducers (like rifampin) may alter its effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects. Avoid combining Duratia with these medications unless advised by a healthcare provider. 9. Mental Health Conditions: Mood disorders: If you have a history of depression, suicidal thoughts, or other psychiatric conditions, you should consult a doctor before taking Duratia, as serotonergic medications can sometimes affect mood and behavior. 10. If You Are Pregnant or Breastfeeding: Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Although Duratia is not typically used in women, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is important to avoid using the medication unless explicitly advised by a healthcare provider, as its effects on women and infants are not well-studied.
