Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - Dapoxetine
Treatment: Drugs - PDE5I (phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor)

Experimental: Dapoxetine + PDE5I - Dapoxetine 30 mg to 60 mg tablets 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity prn (as needed) not to be taken more than once every 24 hours for 12 weeks + a PDE5I (phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor) prescribed prior to study entry for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Placebo comparator: Placebo + PDE5I - Placebo tablets identical in appearance to dapoxetine taken 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity prn (as needed) not to be taken more than once every 24 hours for 12 weeks + a PDE5I (phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor) prescribed prior to study entry for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.


Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Tablets identical in appearance to dapoxetine taken 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity prn (as needed) not to be taken more than once every 24 hours for 12 weeks.

Treatment: Drugs: Dapoxetine
30 mg to 60 mg tablets 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity prn (as needed) not to be taken more than once every 24 hours for 12 weeks.

Treatment: Drugs: PDE5I (phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor)
Patients were to be using a stable regimen of a PDE5-I (i.e., sildenafil, vardenafil, or tadalafil), as reported by the patient for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) for at least 3 months before screening and up to 12 weeks during treatment in the study.
