Caution is advised in case of severe hepatic impairment (see section 4.4 – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information).

Paediatric population
There is no relevant use of Fortacin in the paediatric population for the indication of treatment of primary premature ejaculation in adult men.

Cutaneous use.

Fortacin is only indicated for application to the glans penis.
Before initial use, the spray container should be briefly shaken and then primed by spraying it into the air three times.

Before each subsequent use, it should be briefly shaken and then the spray container should be re-primed by spraying it once.

Any foreskin should be retracted from the glans penis. Once the can is held upright (valve up), 1 dose of Fortacin should be applied to the entire glans penis, by actuating the valve 3 times.
