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'.

How to take Priligy
Taking Priligy is easy and convenient. Simply take a Priligy tablet between one and three hours before you have sex and you’re good to go. You can take Priligy with or without food. It's recommended that you take it with a full glass of water to prevent a bitter taste in your mouth. Priligy isn't appropriate for women, or people older than 65.
Priligy 30mg or 60mg: which dose should I take?
Your doctor will prescribe you 30mg of Priligy when you’re first trying out this medication. If you still aren't lasting as long as you'd like, your doctor can increase your dose to 60mg (as long as you're tolerating the medication well.)
How long does it take for Priligy to work?
Once you take your Priligy tablet, you should only have to wait an hour until you feel its effects. After one to two hours, Priligy will be at its highest level in your body, and you’ll get the maximum benefit from it for up to three hours after taking your tablet.
What should I do if I make a mistake taking Priligy?
You should only take one dose of Priligy a day, as your clinician has instructed. If you accidentally take more tablets than you’re told to, you should tell your pharmacist. You might experience side effects like heavy drowsiness (somnolence), nausea, sickness, a tremor, agitation, or dizziness.

Priligy and Viagra: can I take them together?
Answer:
Typically, men suffering from erectile dysfunction that are using a PDE5 inhibitor like Viagra shouldn’t take Priligy. This is due to a risk of orthostatic hypotension. Orthostatic hypotension is where your blood pressure drops significantly when standing up after sitting or lying down for a while.
If you’re thinking about taking Priligy but are already taking Viagra or other medication for erectile dysfunction, you should speak to your doctor. They can give you the best advice on what is and isn’t safe for you, and tell you what your options are. You may need treatment to rectify your ED first, before trying to resolve your premature ejaculation.
Should I use EMLA cream or Priligy?
Answer:
Both EMLA numbing cream and Priligy can be used to treat premature ejaculation. There are also anaesthetic sprays, like Fortacin, available. Your personal preferences and medical history will help you and your doctor decide which is right for you.
If you like the simplicity of a pill, Priligy may be your best bet. However, the fast-acting properties of Fortacin spray may be better for you. There are also off-label treatments, like other SSRIs, numbing creams and sprays. Talk to your doctor to learn more about which medication is appropriate for you.
Priligy and alcohol: can I use them together?
Answer:
You shouldn’t drink alcohol while you’re taking Priligy. It can make any dizziness and sleepiness you feel after drinking worse. This can mean you’re more likely to end up hurting yourself from falling or fainting while drunk.
Can I buy Priligy over the counter?
Answer:
Priligy is not available over the counter. If you'd like to try it, you’ll need to see a doctor to determine if it’s a safe treatment option for you. After taking Priligy for four weeks, or after you've taken six doses, you should discuss your treatment with your clinician. This is to make sure Priligy is right for you. If you do continue with Priligy, you should have this conversation with your doctor every six months.
How long does Priligy last?
Answer:
Priligy is most effective between one and three hours after you take it. However, it remains in your body for up to 12 hours.
Men who have success with Priligy dapoxetine treatment can last much longer before climaxing. They may last up to two or three times longer during sexual intercourse.
Can Priligy cause side effects?
Answer:
Like all medicines, there’s always a chance you’ll get side effects when taking Priligy. The most common side effects are dizziness, headache and feeling sick in general. Don’t stop taking Priligy suddenly. It can lead to side effects like insomnia and dizziness. Consult your doctor to learn how to stop taking it safely.
