How It Works
Dapoxetine Tablets works by increasing the activity of Serotonin in the brain. It is a short-acting, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) that blocks the reabsorption of Serotonin into neurons. This makes it possible for Serotonin to be made available to the brain. Thus, the transmission of messages between neurons is improved. The process of ejaculation is delayed by 5-7 minutes. This helps the person to have satisfying sexual intercourse with his partner by gaining control over his ejaculation.

Matthew –
I was taking Priligy initially but it got discontinued at our place. The prices were also really high. Ever since I got to know that Dapoxetine is now easily available online, I ordered myself a pack of 120 pills. The problem of PE has made it really difficult for me to make love to my partner. Dapoxetine helps me have a control on my ejaculation and I can have a good time in bed.
