Go Long

Compounded Paroxetine and Tadalafil Oral Tablet

Important Safety Notice

THIS IS A CUSTOM PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION INTENDED ONLY FOR YOU.


What is Go Long?

Go Long is a compounded medication combining two active ingredients: paroxetine and tadalafil. It is intended only for men 18 years and older for the treatment of premature ejaculation.

Important: Go Long is a compounded medication. Although its ingredients have been FDA-approved for other uses, Go Long itself is NOT FDA-approved and has not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality for any use.

  • Paroxetine is typically used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. In Go Long, it is used "off-label" (meaning for a purpose not officially approved by the FDA) to help with premature ejaculation.
  • Tadalafil is FDA-approved to treat erectile dysfunction and enlarged prostate symptoms.

Note: This summary does not contain all possible safety information. It is not a substitute for advice from your healthcare provider. Always talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication.

  • Are currently taking or have taken MAO inhibitors (a type of antidepressant) within the last 14 days
  • Are taking pimozide or thioridazine (antipsychotic medications)
  • Are taking any form of nitrates (often prescribed for chest pain/angina, such as nitroglycerin)
  • Have had a serious allergic reaction to paroxetine or tadalafil in the past

Important Warnings

Heart and Blood Pressure Concerns

  • Do not take Go Long if sexual activity is risky for your heart. Talk to your doctor if you have heart problems.

Mental Health Warnings

SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS

Antidepressants like paroxetine may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, especially in young adults. Watch for new or worsening depression, unusual mood changes, or thoughts of self-harm. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms.

Serotonin Syndrome

Taking Go Long with other medications that affect serotonin (such as other antidepressants, migraine medications called triptans, or certain pain medications) can cause a serious condition called serotonin syndrome. Symptoms include agitation, hallucinations, rapid heartbeat, fever, muscle stiffness, and loss of coordination. Seek medical help immediately if you experience these symptoms.

Vision and Hearing

  • Stop taking Go Long and get medical help right away if you experience sudden vision loss in one or both eyes.
  • Stop taking Go Long and get medical help right away if you experience sudden hearing loss or ringing in your ears.

Prolonged Erection

Other Precautions

Talk to your doctor before taking Go Long if you have:

  • A history of bipolar disorder or mania
  • Seizures or epilepsy
  • Glaucoma or eye pressure problems
  • A history of priapism (prolonged erections)
  • A previous episode of sudden vision loss (NAION)
