Priligy

What is Priligy for?

Please note: If you have never used Priligy before, we can only prescribe 30mg tablets as a maximum dose.

Priligy (Dapoxetine) is a PE medication that has been specifically designed to treat premature ejaculation in men. It aims to increase the time it takes you to ejaculate and may help to improve your control over when you ejaculate. This can increase a man’s self-esteem, confidence and reduce worries about when you will ejaculate. Priligy may also improve both yours and your partner’s satisfaction with sexual intercourse.

Also, Priligy enables couples to enjoy more foreplay and prolong the fun and excitement before the act itself.

As Priligy is only prescribed to men under the age of 65, you may prefer to buy EMLA Cream or buy Stud Spray; two different effective non-prescription treatments for PE.

How does Priligy work?

Priligy is an oral tablet that acts quickly within 60 minutes and is only taken when you need it. The effects of Priligy are also short lived lasting for approximately 1-3 hours, which considerably lowers the risk of any possible side effects.

Priligy belongs to a group of medications called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). These medicines work by inhibiting the re-absorption of serotonin in your neural cells. When you're about to ejaculate, a reflex message is passed down from your brain to your nervous system. It's delivered by serotonin but sometimes serotonin can be re-absorbed too quickly.

This causes disruptions in the way the reflex message is passed from cell to cell, and can lead to conditions such as premature ejaculation. By inhibiting the re-absorption of serotonin, messages are communicated better and you are able to take greater control over your ejaculation.

How to take Priligy

Please note:  If you are using this medication for the first time, we need to screen for postural hypertension, therefore we require two blood pressure and pulse readings:

One reading taken in a lying position after being laid down for at least 5 minutes, then stand up for one minute and take the second reading.

If you are lightheaded and dizzy during this process please also note this on your consultation.

You can buy Priligy (Dapoxetine) in one of two strengths - 30mg and 60mg. If you have not used this medicine before the manufacturer would recommend the starting dosage of 30mg, if this treatment does not produce the desired results, you can request the 60mg dosage on your next order.

A single tablet should be taken at least 1 hour before intercourse. You can take this medicine on a full or empty stomach. Always stick to your prescribed dosage to avoid any potential side effects during or after treatment.

Priligy tablets should not be taken by men under the age of 18 or men over 65 years of age. It’s essential that our Prescribers have a thorough understanding of your medical history before agreeing to prescribe you Priligy. For this reason, please mention in full, the conditions you have and medications you are taking.

What are the possible side effects of Priligy?

Side effects are rare, and most people don’t get any. Possible side effects may vary from one person to the next, as with any medication. You should always read the manufacturer’s Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) before taking this or any other medication.

This will give you important instructions on how and when to take the medication, as well as any possible side effects of the drug.
