Priligy: An Effective Solution for Premature Ejaculation

 

Who Can Use Priligy?
Priligy is suitable for men aged 18 to 64 experiencing premature ejaculation (PE). It is available in 30mg and 60mg tablets. Treatment typically begins with a 30mg dose, which may be increased to 60mg if deemed appropriate by your doctor. Since PE varies among individuals, your doctor will assess how it impacts you before deciding if Priligy is right for you.

 

What is Priligy?
Priligy is a prescription medication for men suffering from PE, which can affect individuals at any age. It contains dapoxetine, an active ingredient classified as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). While initially developed to treat depression, dapoxetine was found effective for managing PE. Priligy prolongs ejaculation time, enhances control, and reduces the frustration and anxiety associated with PE. Unlike SSRIs for depression, Priligy is short-acting and used only when needed.

 

How Does Priligy Work?
Priligy, an SSRI, works by maintaining serotonin levels in the body. Serotonin regulates mood and well-being and is believed to play a role in sexual arousal and ejaculation. This link underpins the effectiveness of SSRIs like Priligy in managing PE.


How to Take Priligy

  • Take Priligy 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity.
  • Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water, with or without food.
  • Avoid alcohol while taking Priligy.
  • Do not exceed one dose per day or within 24 hours.


Possible Side Effects of Priligy

Stop taking Priligy and seek medical attention immediately if you experience:

  • Seizures (fits)
  • Fainting or feeling light-headed when standing
  • Mood changes
  • Thoughts of suicide or self-harm


Fainting and Low Blood Pressure
Priligy may cause fainting or a drop in blood pressure upon standing. To minimise risk:

  • Take the tablet with a full glass of water.
  • Avoid dehydration by drinking regularly, especially if you’ve been sweating, vomiting, or have diarrhoea.
  • Lie down or sit with your head between your knees if you feel faint.
  • Avoid standing quickly after sitting or lying down for extended periods.
  • Refrain from driving or using machinery if you feel faint.


Common Side Effects:

  • Dizziness
  • Headache
  • Nausea


Important Precautions:
Seek immediate medical attention if side effects are severe. Inform your doctor about any medical conditions or medications you are taking before starting Priligy. In some cases, Priligy may be combined with Cialis or Viagra, depending on your condition.
