Sertraline is generally known to treat premature ejaculation.
Sertraline is an antidepressant that belongs to the group of selective 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and when used clinically, it has been found to have the side effect of delaying ejaculation, thus making it a therapeutic agent for premature ejaculation.
A clinical study found that the average ejaculation latency of premature ejaculation patients using sertraline was 0.3 minutes before treatment, while the average ejaculation latency after treatment with sertraline was extended to 3.2 minutes, while the average ejaculation latency of the control group treated with placebo was 0.5 minutes, a significant difference between the two, which suggests that sertraline can be a treatment for premature ejaculation.
The use of sertraline can cause insomnia, drowsiness, dizziness, headache and other adverse reactions, is prohibited for those who are allergic to sertraline. Sertraline is forbidden to be combined with pimozide, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI s) and other drugs. Sertraline is a prescription drug and should be used under medical supervision.
