Brief Answer:
Duralast will not help in erection problems.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.

Duralast (Dapoxetine) is drug specifically given for treatment of Pre-Mature Ejaculation (PME) and NOT erectile dysfunction.

In my opinion, this drug is not a right choice for you as you mentioned that you have erection problems and not PME.

Regarding side effects of this medicine (duralast), the most common adverse effects are:
nausea,
dizziness,
dry mouth,
headache,
diarrhea,
insomnia.
But these side effects are not worrisome and wean off with time in most cases.

Drugs like sildenafil and tadalafil are used for treatment of erection problems.

I would advise you to talk to your doctor regarding this issue as I dont think this medicine (duralast) will help you in erection problems.

Hope this helps.

Any further queries are welcome.

Kindly close the discussion if you have no more questions and please give your valuable feedback.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
This can be due to performance anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Glad that my advice was helpful for you.

This is normal for the first-timers. This is mostly due to performance anxiety.

This will improve with time and does not require drug treatment.

Medicines would only be required if this problem persists.

Drugs like sildenafil and tadalafil are used to treat erection problems.
But take these drugs only after consulting a doctor.

Wish you good health and happy married life.

Feel free to ask if you have more queries.

Thanks.
