Priligy is a branded version of the drug dapoxetine. This prescription medication is used to treat premature ejaculation (PE) in men.
Premature ejaculation is a condition where men ejaculate with minimal sexual stimulation. This impacts sexual satisfaction and may cause problems in romantic and sexual relationships.
Priligy helps by extending the time taken to ejaculate and enhancing control over ejaculation.
Like other SSRIs, Dapoxetine was originally created to be used as an antidepressant by pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly. However, it was approved instead as a treatment for premature ejaculation in 2004.
This is because of its rapid absorption and elimination in the body, which makes it a suitable medication to treat PE. Priligy received regulatory approval from the UK's MHRA in 2013.
Priligy contains the active ingredient dapoxetine. It belongs to a group of medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which are more commonly used to treat depression.
Priligy works by Increasing serotonin levels in the body. This causes a delay in the area of the brain responsible for ejaculation, thereby helping men to last longer during sexual activity
Priligy offers several benefits for managing ejaculation:
A clinical trial involving 618 men found Dapoxetine to be far more effective than a placebo in treating premature ejaculation.
According to the results, the mean average time it took for the men to ejaculate was 56 seconds before treatment. This number increased to 1.9 minutes for those on a placebo, 3.2 minutes for those on 30mg of dapoxetine, and 3.5 minutes for those on 60mg.
The effect that dapoxetine had on men suffering from premature ejaculation has been further studied in another clinical trial. The results of the study are as follows:
Effectiveness of Priligy in clinical trials
Percentage of patients who reported their condition to be "better" or "much better"
Patients taking 30mg of Priligy
Patients taking 60mg of Priligy
Patients taking a placebo
Doctors can prescribe Priligy for men aged 18 to 65 suffering from premature ejaculation.
