Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

As study to investigate the efficacy and safety of daily doses of paroxetine of 15 and 20 mg for the treatment of premature ejaculation

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, prospective and parallel trial. Men with premature ejaculation using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, text revision criteria for at least 6 months, with an intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) ≤ 3 minutes. Three treatments are to be compared: placebo, 15 mg or 20 mg paroxetine for 12 weeks.
