WHAT MAY INTERACT WITH THIS MEDICINE?
Currently, there are no documented drug-drug interactions associated with dapoxetine. Pharmacokinetic studies have been conducted to determine if dapoxetine has any drug interactions with tadalafil and sildenafil; as well as with ethanol. Both studies demonstrated no significant interactions when the combination was administered. Due to the lack of current information, it is too early to speak about other potential drug interactions.
