What is Priligy?
Priligy is the first pill marketed towards men who suffer from premature ejaculation. It’s a type of treatment called an SSRI, or a selective serotonin receptor inhibitor. While other SSRIs on the market are off-label treatments for premature ejaculation, Priligy is prescribed specifically to treat it. Just take it before sexual intercourse to increase the time it takes for you to reach orgasm.
How does Priligy work?
The main ingredient in Priligy is dapoxetine. It’s a type of treatment known as a selective serotonin uptake inhibitor, or an SSRI. These reduce the amount of serotonin reabsorbed by serotonin transporters, increasing its transmission around your body. As serotonin is the most important neural transmitter involved in ejaculation control, more of it in your body should help you last as long as you'd like.
What doses does Priligy come in?
You can get Priligy in either 30mg or 60mg doses. Evidence shows both of these doses are very effective at treating PE. The time it took men to ejaculate during intercourse was significantly longer than for placebo with both.
Does Priligy work?
A review of dapoxetine (the active ingredient in Priligy) looked at control and satisfaction levels of men taking it. Its effectiveness was measured through 'perceived control' over ejaculation, as well as increase in 'ejaculatory latency time' (how long it actually took to climax, timed using a stopwatch).
In men for who the treatment worked, 67% said they had either better or much better control over when they climaxed, and 74% rated their satisfaction with intercourse as 'good' or 'very good'.
