Effect of an alpha-blocking agent (phenoxybenzamine) in the management of premature ejaculation

Acta Eur Fertil. 1986 Jan-Feb;17(1):43-5.

Abstract

Phenoxybenzamine has been extremely effective in treating patients with vesical dysfunctions, its minimal side effects include anejaculation and delay and difficulty in ejaculation. Fifteen men were treated with phenoxybenzamine (PBZ) for premature ejaculation. Eight patients reported a subjective improvement of the time from penetration to ejaculation. PBZ is a well tolerated drug. The only side effect of the treatment was dry ejaculation. The Authors suggest its use in selected patients.
