What is Priligy (Dapoxetine)?
Priligy (dapoxetine) is a drug that is used to treat premature ejaculation, a common condition thought to affect between 20% and 30% of UK men. It works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which inhibits ejaculation. This results in increased control over ejaculation and an improvement in sexual performance. Priligy tablets act on the nervous system, increasing the time it takes to ejaculate, allowing you to remain in control of the sexual experience.
The treatment has been licensed for use since 2013 and was the first pharmacological treatment to be licensed in the UK for premature ejaculation. It is also the only licensed on-demand pharmacological premature ejaculation medication. Priligy comes in two dosage strengths: 30 mg and 60 mg.
Effective Treatment for Premature Ejaculation
Priligy is a trusted and MHRA-approved treatment for premature ejaculation. The fast-acting formula helps to delay ejaculation and improve control, and is clinically proven to increase intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) - the time from penetration to ejaculation, measured by the partner. It contains the active ingredient dapoxetine hydrochloride, which works by inhibiting serotonin reuptake, and is used on an as-needed basis. This can allow men to have spontaneous sex without worry.
The medication is available in a discreet, convenient dosage, with no need to schedule or plan. It is not intended to be used as a daily medication or to treat other sexual dysfunctions such as erectile dysfunction.
Why Treatment is Important
Premature ejaculation can cause significant distress and bother. It may make people feel unhappy and frustrated, potentially even causing feelings of inadequacy. In severe cases, the condition can put relationships in jeopardy and cause them to fail due to the fact that it spoils the sex lives of both partners. A study by BUPA found that around a third of men suffer from anxiety, stress, and frustration as a result of their sexual disorder. Meanwhile, 35% of men said the issue has had a negative impact on their relationship.
How Does Priligy 30mg Work?
Priligy contains dapoxetine, a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). Serotonin, a neurotransmitter, regulates mood, sexual function, and many other bodily functions. By preventing serotonin from being reabsorbed by the body, there is a higher amount of serotonin in the blood.
Increased serotonin enhances signals sent to the nerves involved in arousal and ejaculation, resulting in a greater ability to control ejaculatory impulses. Priligy (Dapoxetine) has been shown to increase IELT by 1.2-1.7 minutes compared with placebo.
How Effective is Priligy for Premature Ejaculation?
An integrated analysis of five studies found that Priligy tablets “significantly improved all aspects of premature ejaculation and were generally well tolerated”. The results achieved were as follows:
Group | Mean Baseline IELT | Mean IELT at 12 Weeks | Fold Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
Placebo | ~0.9 minutes | ~1.9 minutes | ~1.6 |
Dapoxetine 30 mg | ~0.9 minutes | ~3.1 minutes | ~2.5 |
Dapoxetine 60 mg | ~0.9 minutes | ~3.6 minutes | ~3 |
How to Take Priligy Tablets
Priligy should be taken between one and three hours before beginning any sexual activity. It is an on-demand medication intended for use as needed. Swallow 1 Priligy tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush or chew the tablet. Only one Priligy tablet should be taken within any 24-hour period. The treatment is not designed for continuous (daily) usage.
Your clinician will follow up with you after 4 weeks of treatment to monitor progress and determine whether you should continue taking Priligy. If treatment is continued, it’s recommended to schedule an appointment every 6 months to discuss this further.
Is Priligy Safe for Me?
Priligy is prescribed for men aged between 18 and 64 who meet the following criteria:
- Experiencing problems with recurrent and persistently poor control over ejaculation
- Experiencing premature ejaculation in the majority of intercourse attempts over the last 6 months
- Suffering significant distress due to premature ejaculation
- An IELT of fewer than 2 minutes
A baseline IELT measurement is required to determine whether dapoxetine is suitable for your circumstances.
Who Should Not Take Priligy Tablets?
If you are unsure whether Priligy is suitable for you, consult your doctor.
Priligy (Dapoxetine) should be used with caution if you have:
- Issues with blood clotting or are taking anti-clotting medications (e.g. warfarin)

- Medicines for depression, known as Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs).

Priligy Side Effects and Cautions
Before taking Priligy (dapoxetine), you must read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine. The leaflet contains information on how to take Priligy, how to store it, and detailed information about its safety and side effects. You should retain this leaflet for future reference.
Priligy (Dapoxetine) Side Effects
Like all medications, Priligy can cause side effects. However, not everyone will experience them. It’s recommended that you read the Patient Information Leaflet enclosed with the treatment before you start taking it.
Potential Priligy side effects include:
Very Common Priligy Side Effects (may affect more than 1 in 10 men) | Common Side Effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 men) | Uncommon Priligy Side Effects (may affect up to 1 in 100 men) |
|---|---|---|
| Dizziness Headache Nausea | Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
| Slow or irregular heartbeat Abnormal taste Low or high blood pressure Teeth grinding Feeling depressed or nervous Feeling confused or disoriented Vision problems Eye pain or dilated pupils |
Rare side effects of Priligy include urgency of bowel action, dizziness after exertion, and sudden sleep onset. These may affect up to 1 in 1,000 men. Please refer to the Patient Information leaflet for a full breakdown of side effects.
Fainting and Low Blood Pressure
Priligy can make you faint or lower your blood pressure when you stand up. To help with this, it’s recommended to take the medication with a full glass of water. Do not try to take it if you’re dehydrated.
If you feel like you might faint or are light-headed when you get up, immediately lie down so your head is lower than the rest of your body, or sit down with your head between your knees. Do not stand up quickly after lying or sitting for an extended period. It’s essential that you tell your clinician or doctor immediately if you faint while taking this medication. You will need to provide information on your blood pressure before Priligy can be prescribed.
Priligy Allergic Reaction
Do not take Priligy if you are allergic to dapoxetine or any of the other ingredients listed in the patient information leaflet.
If you experience an allergic reaction after taking Priligy (Dapoxetine), stop taking Priligy and seek emergency medical attention by going straight to your nearest accident and emergency department. Remember to take the packaging and any remaining medication with you, so doctors know exactly what you have taken.
Signs of an allergic reaction include:
- Chest tightening
- Dry, red, and cracked skin
- Itchy, red watery eyes
- Raised, itchy, red rash (hives)
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, eyes or face
- Tummy pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea
- Wheezing
Other Safety Information
Always read the patient information leaflet before starting to take Priligy.
If you are unsure about the side effects or if they persist long after taking Priligy, contact your local GP or one of our medical professionals.
Inform our doctor of all medicines you are currently taking, including those prescribed by your doctor or bought over the counter. You should also include health and herbal supplements.
Do not take Priligy (Dapoxetine) past the expiry date printed on the packaging. The date refers to the last day of the specified month.
Do not drink alcohol while taking Priligy. Alcohol increases both the likelihood of experiencing side effects and the severity of side effects.
Never throw away medicine down household drains or into water. Take any unwanted or expired medication to your local pharmacy and ask them to dispose of it safely on your behalf.
Always store Priligy (dapoxetine) out of sight and out of reach of children and pets.
Never share your medication with anybody else, even if they have the same symptoms or have been diagnosed with the same condition as you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Priligy (Dapoxetine)
How to Delay Premature Ejaculation?
Treatment with medication such as Priligy tablets is recommended as the first-line treatment for men with lifelong premature ejaculation. Non-drug treatment is also available for people who prefer not to take medication or if the condition doesn’t cause many problems. These techniques can also be used in conjunction with drug treatment.
Examples of such techniques include:
- Using extra-thick condoms or condoms with a built-in numbing agent.
- Trying to masturbate an hour before sex.
- Taking breaks during sex and thinking about something else to calm down.
- Trying meditative or deep breathing exercises.
What Should I Do If I Forget to Take Priligy (Dapoxetine)?
Priligy is taken as needed. If you forget to take Priligy 30 to 60 minutes before you anticipate sexual activity, the treatment may not work for you.
What Should I Do If I Take Too Much Priligy (Dapoxetine)?
If you accidentally take more Priligy than you should, go straight to your nearest accident and emergency department. Remember to take the packaging and any remaining medication with you, so doctors know exactly what you have taken.
Will Priligy (Dapoxetine) Affect My Ability to Drive or Operate Machinery?
If you feel drowsy, dizzy, faint, have difficulty concentrating or experience blurred vision after taking Priligy, do not drive or operate machinery until you feel it is safe for you to do so.
How Long Does Priligy (Dapoxetine) Make You Last?
In studies, men taking Priligy (Dapoxetine) reported a 2.5 to 3-fold increase in time to ejaculation. Men with a baseline of fewer than 0.9 minutes found that Priligy 30mg and Priligy 60mg increased to around 3.1 minutes and 3.6 minutes, respectively.
How Long Does Priligy (Dapoxetine) Take to Work?
Priligy needs to be taken between 1 and 3 hours before beginning any sexual activity.
Can Priligy Be Taken with Viagra?
No, it is not recommended to take Priligy and Viagra together. This is because the combined effects could result in a dangerous drop in blood pressure that may cause fainting. If you are suffering from both premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, speak to your doctor for appropriate advice.
Can You Take Priligy with Alcohol?
Alcohol should not be consumed while using Priligy due to the increased risk of side effects, including dizziness and drowsiness.
Does Priligy Cure Premature Ejaculation?
No, Priligy tablets do not cure premature ejaculation. It is, instead, an extremely effective short-term treatment for the condition. The medication is supposed to be taken on demand rather than daily, so premature ejaculation is likely to occur once the effects of the medication have worn off.
What if Priligy 30 mg Doesn’t Work?
If you find that Priligy 30 mg is not effective, a higher 60 mg dose is available. However, this carries a higher risk of side effects, so it’s important to consult a medical professional before increasing your dose. An alternative treatment may be more suitable for your circumstances.
A benefits and risk reassessment is typically held after the first 4 weeks or 6 doses to determine how the medication is working for you.
Does Priligy Help with Erectile Dysfunction?
No, Priligy is licensed for the treatment of premature ejaculation and not erectile dysfunction. The active ingredient works to delay ejaculation by increasing serotonin levels in the body, which does not have any impact on the firmness of an erection.
