Patient Reviews: How Priligy Has Made a Difference

Treatment Information

Table of contents:

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:

Mean Baseline IELT

Mean IELT at 12 Weeks

Dapoxetine 30 mg

~0.9 minutes

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.

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.

  • Dry, red, and cracked skin
  • Itchy, red watery eyes

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.
