Comparison of the clinical efficacy and safety of the on-demand use of paroxetine, dapoxetine, sildenafil and combined dapoxetine with sildenafil in treatment of patients with premature ejaculation: A randomised placebo-controlled clinical trial
Abstract
Summary
The aim of the study was to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of the on-demand use of paroxetine, dapoxetine, sildenafil and combined dapoxetine
with sildenafil in treatment of patients with premature ejaculation
(PE). In a single-blind placebo-controlled clinical study, 150 PE
patients without erectile dysfunction (ED) were included
during the period of March 2015 to May 2016. Patients were randomly
divided into five groups (30 patients each). On demand placebo,
paroxetine (30 mg), dapoxetine (30 mg), sildenafil citrate (50 mg) and combined dapoxetine
(30 mg) with sildenafil citrate (50 mg) were given for patients for
6 weeks in each group respectively. All patients were instructed to
record intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) and evaluated with
Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) and the patient
satisfaction score before and after treatment. The mean of IELT,
satisfaction score and PEDT in all groups was significantly improved
after treatment (p value = .001). Combined dapoxetine with
sildenafil group had the best values of IELT, satisfaction scores and
PEDT in comparison with other treatment groups (p value <.001). The
combined dapoxetine with sildenafil therapy could significantly improve PE patients without ED as compared to paroxetine alone or dapoxetine alone or sildenafil alone with tolerated adverse effects.
