About Long Drive Tablet

Long Drive Tablet is used to treat premature ejaculation in adult men aged 18-64 years old. Premature ejaculation is when a man ejaculates (orgasms) more quickly with less sexual stimulation than the man or his partner would like. This could lead to problems in a sexual relationship.

Long Drive Tablet contains ‘Dapoxetine’, which increases the serotonin level in the nervous system; this increases the time it takes to ejaculate and improves the control over ejaculation. Thus, it helps in decreasing the worry or frustration about fast or premature ejaculation.

You are advised to take Long Drive Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhoea, dry mouth, and indigestion. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time.  However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
