Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation (PE) is when a man ejaculates too quickly during sexual activity, often within one minute or less. It can be frustrating and may cause distress for both partners. PE can happen due to various reasons, including stress, anxiety, or even certain health conditions. Luckily, there are ways to manage PE. Medication can be prescribed to help control PE.

Premature ejaculation is a condition where a man ejaculates too quickly during sexual activity, often before or shortly after penetration, causing distress or frustration.
Priligy is a medication specifically designed to treat premature ejaculation. It contains the active ingredient dapoxetine, which belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
Priligy works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain, which helps to delay ejaculation and improve control over ejaculation during sexual activity.
Clinical studies have shown that Priligy can significantly increase the time to ejaculation and improve control over ejaculation in men with premature ejaculation.
Priligy is taken orally, usually as a single dose of 30 mg or 60 mg, 1 to 3 hours before anticipated sexual activity. It should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water and can be taken with or without food.
Common side effects of Priligy may include nausea, headache, dizziness, diarrhoea, and insomnia. It's essential to discuss any potential side effects with our prescribing team before starting treatment.
Priligy is rapidly absorbed and eliminated from the body, with a half-life of approximately 1-2 hours. This means that it is usually cleared from the body within a day.
