Priligy

Priligy (dapoxetine) is a prescription-only medication used to treat the symptoms of premature ejaculation (PE), a common ejaculation problem where a man consistently ejaculates sooner than he would like to. It has been shown to be effective in over 70% of men, and can double or triple the time it takes to ejaculate, giving you more control.

Men between the ages of 18 and 65 with premature ejaculation can purchase Priligy online in the UK.

The active ingredient dapoxetine belongs to a group of medications called ‘selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors’, or SSRIs.

Like all SSRIs, dapoxetine raises serotonin levels in the body. This causes a delayed reaction in the areas of the brain responsible for ejaculation, lengthening the time it takes to have an orgasm.

SSRIs are a type of antidepressant usually used to treat depression and anxiety. Priligy was originally developed for that purpose, but was re-labelled as a treatment for premature ejaculation when it was discovered that serotonin had a significant impact on the male ejaculatory time. It was the first oral medication for premature ejaculation in the UK.

This medication works best in the first three hours after it has been taken, but you may experience effects for up to twelve hours.

You should take this medication exactly as your doctor has directed.

Priligy is available from euroClinix in 30mg and 60mg doses. The typical starting dose is 30 mg, but this may be increased depending on your condition.

This medication should be taken between 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water, and can be taken with or without food.

You should not take this medication more than once every 24 hours. If you take more than your prescribed dose, seek medical advice.

Let your doctor know if you want to discontinue this medicine, as you may experience side effects.

While this medication is generally well-tolerated, it is not suitable for everybody.

You should not use this medication if you have

• a history of depression, mania, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia
• a history of bleeding or blood clotting problems
• heart problems, such as heart failure or heart disease
• low blood pressure
• kidney problems
• epilepsy

You should ensure that you have included information about your medical history, as well as any medical conditions you currently have, during your consultation.

Tell your doctor about any other medications you are on, even if they are not prescribed, before taking Priligy, as some may interact negatively or limit effectiveness.

It is especially important not to take this medication if you are currently taking:

• monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
• thioridazine
• lithium
• linezolid
• tryptophan
• St. John’s wort
• tramadol
• medicines used to treat migraine or depression

You should also be careful when taking this medication with recreational drugs and alcohol

If you are currently on any of these medications, you should consult with your doctor, as you will need to wait 14 days before beginning Priligy, and then wait another seven days afterwards before you begin to take it again.

Taking Priligy with Viagra or any other erectile dysfunction is not recommended.

This is because both Priligy and all erectile dysfunction medicines (PDE-5 inhibitors) lower your blood pressure. Whilst taking one on its own is okay, taking both together can reduce your blood pressure to a dangerously low level

If you're worried about erectile dysfunction and you're taking Priligy, you should consult your doctor to discuss your treatment options.

As with all medications, you may experience side effects while taking these tablets, although not everybody does.

The most common side effects include:

If any of these possible side effects persist, talk to your doctor. They may lower your dose or suggest a different form of treatment.

A complete list of side effects is detailed in the patient information leaflet.

In addition to medication, there are other methods that can be used to delay ejaculation.

These include:

• trying different sex positions
• topical anaesthetic creams, such as EMLA cream
• specialised, thick condoms
• kegels, a type of exercise used to strengthen the pelvic floor
• therapy

Some of these may be used in combination with Priligy to improve its results.
