Patient's question:
AgeMay I ask if taking gamma-oryzanol three times a day, with 10mg each time, is a common treatment for premature ejaculation in Western medicine? However, the instructions for gamma-oryzanol state that it should not be taken for more than one week. Are there any side effects? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Gamma-oryzanol is generally taken three times daily, with each dose being 10 milligrams, and the maximum dose is 30 milligrams per time. Long-term use within the recommended safe dosage range on the medication instructions generally does not cause side effects, or only mild adverse reactions such as mild stomach discomfort, nausea, dry mouth, fatigue, and skin itching, which usually disappear on their own during continued medication. If the dose is increased without medical supervision, side effects such as excessive oil secretion, hair loss, weight gain, and gynecomastia in men may occur. In such cases, reducing the dose or discontinuing use can gradually alleviate these adverse reactions.
