Abstract
Dapoxetine nanoparticles comprising zein and alpha lipoic acid (ALA) are provided. When present in zein-ALA loaded nanoparticles, dapoxetine exhibits increased bioavailability (compared to conventional formulations) when administered to subjects for the prevention or treatment of premature ejaculation (PE). Thus, lower doses are administered, and side effects are attenuated or eliminated.
