Extralast 30 mg Tablet is used to treat premature ejaculation. It contains Dapoxetine, which increases the time it takes to ejaculate and improves control over ejaculation. In some cases, this medicine may cause side effects such as dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhoea, dry mouth, and indigestion.
Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:
Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.

Health Queries
Which tablet should I take to prolong sexual intercourse?
Veda Maddala
M Pharmacy
Wanting to last longer during sex is a very common concern, and in many cases, it is linked to performance anxiety, stress, excitement, or increased sensitivity rather than a serious physical problem. There are tablets that doctors sometimes use to help delay ejaculation, and some men also benefit from local sprays or behavioural techniques, but the best option depends on how often the issue happens and whether there are other problems like erection difficulty, anxiety, or poor sleep. Some medicines can improve control for a few hours, but taking them without proper guidance may cause unwanted effects such as dizziness, nausea, headache, or changes in sexual sensation. Along with medical treatment, methods like the start?stop technique, pelvic floor exercises, slower stimulation, and reducing stress often help improve timing naturally over time. Alcohol, smoking, and lack of sleep can also worsen control in some people. If the problem has been persistent and is affecting confidence or relationships, it is better to speak with a doctor or sexual health specialist so the cause can be understood properly and treatment can be chosen safely, instead of trying random tablets on your own.
I am having a problem with premature ejaculation during intercourse. What treatments or methods may help improve control and sexual performance?
Vikas Singh
M Pharmacy
Premature ejaculation can happen because of anxiety, stress, increased sensitivity, poor confidence, long gaps between intercourse, erection concerns, or sometimes underlying health conditions. Many men experience reduced control during intercourse at some point, and stress about performance can further worsen the problem over time. Improvement usually involves both physical and mental approaches. Behavioural methods such as the stop-start technique, pause-squeeze method, slower stimulation, and pelvic floor exercises may help improve control gradually. Some people also benefit from medicines, delay sprays, or condoms designed to reduce sensitivity. Regular exercise, proper sleep, stress reduction, and open communication with the partner may also improve confidence and sexual performance. Avoid using strong numbing products repeatedly without guidance because excessive numbness can reduce pleasure and sometimes affect erections. Loss of erection, severe anxiety, reduced sexual desire, or persistent difficulty despite trying supportive methods may require a proper sexual health evaluation and treatment planning.
I have been having nightfall regularly for the past few days, and I also feel pain in my penis after it happens. What could be the reason, and how can I manage it?
Vikas Singh
M Pharmacy
Frequent nightfall with pain can be due to irritation, infection, stress, or increased sensitivity affecting the area. Maintain good hygiene, stay hydrated, avoid tight clothing, and reduce stress to help control the problem. Try to keep a regular routine, avoid excessive stimulation, and notice if pain or frequency is increasing. If it continues or pain persists, consult a doctor to determine the cause and guide proper treatment.
I have reduced sexual sensation, difficulty with ejaculation, and feel unable to satisfy my partner. I have a history of high blood pressure and take medications like Eritel 80, Metocard XL 50, and Depran. Earlier, my sexual function was normal. What could be the cause, and what treatment options are available?
G.santoshini Reddy
M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)
Reduced sexual sensation and difficulty with ejaculation in your case are most likely due to a combination of medications and underlying health conditions. Drugs like Metocard XL (a beta-blocker) and Depran (an antidepressant) are known to cause sexual side effects such as reduced desire, delayed ejaculation, or decreased pleasure. High blood pressure itself can also affect blood flow and nerve function, which plays an important role in sexual performance. The best approach is to consult your doctor before making any changes. They may adjust the dose, switch to alternative medicines with fewer sexual side effects, or suggest treatments specifically for sexual dysfunction if needed. Lifestyle measures like regular exercise, stress reduction, good sleep, and avoiding alcohol or smoking can also improve sexual health. Open communication with your partner is equally important. In most cases, once the cause is addressed, sexual function improves gradually.
I am taking an antidepressant, and because of it, I am having delayed ejaculation, though my erection is normal. What can I do or take to manage this problem?
Vikas Singh
M Pharmacy
Delayed ejaculation with antidepressants is a common side effect and does not mean there is a serious problem. Do not stop or change the medicine on your own, as it can affect your mental health. Sometimes adjusting the dose or changing to another medicine can help improve this issue. It is best to discuss this with your doctor so they can modify treatment safely while maintaining your mental health stability.
