Introduction
In general, whether Dapoxetine Hydrochloride Tablets can be taken long-term should be determined based on the severity of the condition. For patients with stable conditions and mild premature ejaculation, short-term use under a doctor's guidance may be sufficient, without the need for long-term medication. However, for patients with unstable conditions and severe premature ejaculation, long-term medication may be required to improve their quality of life.

Generally, Dapoxetine Hydrochloride Tablets are primarily used to treat male premature ejaculation and improve sexual function. Whether Dapoxetine Hydrochloride Tablets can be taken long-term needs to be determined based on the patient's specific condition. If the condition is not severe, long-term use typically is unnecessary. However, if the condition is more serious, the medication may need to be taken long-term as directed by a physician. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the patient's condition is relatively stable and the premature ejaculation is not severe, and it does not affect quality of life, it is recommended to take Dapoxetine Hydrochloride Tablets for a short period as directed by a doctor. Once the condition stabilizes and symptoms disappear, the medication can be discontinued. Long-term use is not recommended to avoid potential side effects such as sexual dysfunction, headache, and nausea.

However, if the patient's condition is unstable and the premature ejaculation is severe, accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty ejaculating, short ejaculation latency, or weak ejaculation, and if there are concomitant chronic conditions like depression, long-term medication use is generally recommended under a doctor's guidance. This can help improve the patient's quality of life and maintain condition stability.

Before using Dapoxetine Hydrochloride Tablets, please note: individuals allergic to the drug's components should not use it, and it is contraindicated in patients with obvious symptoms of heart disease. All medications should be taken under the guidance of a physician; self-medication should be avoided.
