Why Is Duratia 90 Mg Prescribed For Pulmonary Hypertension?

Duratia 90 mg is not prescribed for pulmonary hypertension. It contains dapoxetine, a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that is specifically approved in some countries for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in adult men. Its purpose is to help delay ejaculation and improve control during sexual activity.

Pulmonary hypertension is a serious condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. It requires specialized treatment with medications that relax or widen the pulmonary blood vessels, reduce strain on the heart, or target specific disease pathways. Duratia 90 mg does not have these effects and should not be used to treat pulmonary hypertension.

Confusion may arise because sildenafil, another medication commonly used for erectile dysfunction, is also prescribed at different doses under certain brand names to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, sildenafil and dapoxetine are different medicines with distinct uses and mechanisms of action.

If you have pulmonary hypertension, it is essential to take only the medications prescribed by your healthcare provider. Using Duratia 90 mg instead of an appropriate pulmonary hypertension treatment will not improve the condition and could delay necessary medical care. Always consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you are unsure about the purpose of a medication or the correct treatment for your condition.
