How Dapoxetine + Tadalafil works
Dapoxetine + Tadalafil is a combination sexual function enhancer.
Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor or SSRI. It works by increasing the availability of serotonin in the brain, a chemical messenger that plays a crucial role in ejaculation. By increasing the availability of serotonin in the brain, it helps delay ejaculation and prolongs sexual activity.
Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 or PDE5 inhibitor. It works by stopping the action of the enzyme PDE5 present in the penis. This action results in relaxation of the smooth muscles and increased blood flow into the penis, helping to achieve and maintain an erection.
When combined, this combination works together to manage both premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, improving sexual satisfaction and performance.
