What is Priligy?
Priligy is a prescription treatment for men experiencing premature ejaculation (PE). It contains dapoxetine, a type of medicine called a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), originally developed to treat depression but found to be effective for treating PE.
Priligy increases the time it takes to ejaculate, can improve control over ejaculation and therefore reduces the frustration and anxiety you feel when experiencing PE. Unlike SSRI medicines used to treat depression, it is short-acting and works more quickly, so you only take it when it is needed.
Priligy is a type of medicine known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It helps to maintain the body's natural serotonin levels. Serotonin is involved in many activities, including helping to regulate mood and wellbeing, and is believed to have a role in sexual arousal and ejaculation.
How to take Priligy
Priligy should be taken between 1 to 3 hours before you are expecting sexual activity. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water, with or without food. Do not drink alcohol whilst taking Priligy tablets.
You should never take more than one dose of the tablet each day, or within a 24-hour period.
Who can use Priligy
If you are a man between the ages of 18 and 64, have had repeated experiences of ejaculating within 2 minutes of penetration over the last 6 months, and this is causing you distress personally or within your relationship, then Priligy may be suitable for you. Our doctors will help you to understand if what you are experiencing is PE and whether treatment with Priligy is appropriate for you.
Priligy is suitable for men between the ages of 18 to 64 who are experiencing PE. It is available in strengths of 30mg and 60mg tablets; you start on a 30mg dose, increasing to 60mg only if your doctor thinks that it is appropriate for you.
You must answer the consultation questions honestly and fully so our doctors can ensure that treatment is appropriate for you. Priligy is not suitable if you have certain health conditions including heart conditions, unstable epilepsy or a history of fainting or severe depression. It also cannot be taken alongside some prescription and non-prescription medicines.
