🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionTadalafil is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with peak plasma concentrations achieved within 2 hours. Dapoxetine is also rapidly absorbed, with peak plasma levels reached in about 1 to 2 hours. Food does not significantly affect the absorption of tadalafil, but a high-fat meal may slightly reduce the rate of dapoxetine absorption.

DistributionTadalafil has a volume of distribution of approximately 63 liters, indicating distribution into tissues. Dapoxetine has a volume of distribution of about 21 liters per kilogram, suggesting extensive tissue distribution.

Protein BindingTadalafil is approximately 94% bound to plasma proteins. Dapoxetine is about 99% bound to plasma proteins.

MetabolismTadalafil is primarily metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme in the liver. Dapoxetine is extensively metabolized by multiple enzymes, including CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and flavin-containing monooxygenase 1 (FMO1).

Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of tadalafil is approximately 17.5 hours. The elimination half-life of dapoxetine is about 1.5 hours for dapoxetine and 1.5 hours for its active metabolite, desmethyldapoxetine.

ExcretionTadalafil is primarily excreted as metabolites in feces (approximately 61%) and urine (approximately 36%). Dapoxetine is excreted mainly in urine as metabolites.

BioavailabilityThe absolute bioavailability of tadalafil is approximately 36%. The absolute bioavailability of dapoxetine is not established from the available information.

Onset of ActionThe onset of action for tadalafil is within 30 to 60 minutes, but it may take up to 2 hours for full effect. Dapoxetine typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to exert its effect on ejaculation.

Peak Plasma TimeTadalafil reaches peak plasma concentration in about 2 hours. Dapoxetine reaches peak plasma concentration in about 1 to 2 hours.

Duration of ActionThe duration of action for tadalafil is up to 36 hours. Dapoxetine's effect on ejaculation lasts for approximately 4 to 6 hours.

How It Works

This medicine combines two active ingredients with distinct mechanisms. Tadalafil is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which prevents the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the corpus cavernosum. This leads to smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow to the penis, facilitating erection. Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that increases serotonin levels in the synaptic cleft, which modulates the ejaculatory reflex and delays ejaculation. Together, they address both erectile function and ejaculatory control.

Mechanism Steps

1

PDE5 inhibition by tadalafil: Tadalafil inhibits the PDE5 enzyme, preventing the degradation of cGMP in the smooth muscle cells of the corpus cavernosum.

2

Increased cGMP and smooth muscle relaxation: Elevated cGMP levels cause relaxation of penile smooth muscle, allowing increased blood flow and erection.

3

Serotonin reuptake inhibition by dapoxetine: Dapoxetine blocks the serotonin transporter, increasing serotonin availability in the synaptic cleft.

4

Modulation of ejaculatory reflex: Enhanced serotonergic activity in the central nervous system delays the ejaculatory reflex, prolonging time to ejaculation.
