| Dapoxetine |
Dapoxetine is a potent selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). The mechanism of action of dapoxetine in premature ejaculation is presumed to be linked to the inhibition of neuronal reuptake of serotonin and the subsequent potentiation of the neurotransmitter’s action at pre- and postsynaptic receptors. |
|
| Tiapride |
Tiapride is an atypical neuroleptic which exhibits selectivity in in-vitro studies for D2 and D3 dopamine subtype receptors without any affinity for subtype receptors of the principal central neurotransmitters (including serotonin, noradrenaline and histamine). |
