Priligy (dapoxetine) is an oral medication used to treat premature ejaculation. When taken 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity, Priligy can delay ejaculation by a few minutes or longer.
Priligy contains the active ingredient dapoxetine, a type of medication known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). While SSRIs are designed to treat depression, they also have the effect of delaying ejaculation, and dapoxetine is a short-acting SSRI developed specifically for this use. It works by increasing the activity of serotonin, a neurotransmitter which helps pass messages between nerve cells, including those responsible for ejaculation. Increasing serotonin activity increases the time it takes to ejaculate and helps the man control his ejaculation.
Different couples have different expectations of performance time, so results on the effectiveness of Priligy vary. Priligy is considered to be the most popular treatment for premature ejaculation, with 58% of users reporting increased control over their ejaculation time.
Priligy should be taken about an hour before sexual activity is expected to begin, and can last for up to 3 hours.

Before taking Priligy, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other medications, including those purchased over the counter without a prescription. In particular, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:
While suffering from both premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction is rare, it is possible. By increasing the activity of serotonin, Priligy works by inhibiting the ejaculatory reflex and therefore should not affect a man’s ability to achieve an erection. It can therefore be used in combination with PDE-5 inhibitors, used to treat erectile dysfunction, with neither medication inhibiting the others. However, you should inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking before starting Priligy. PDE-5 inhibitors do carry a small risk of lowering blood pressure upon standing up, which can be increased by taking Priligy.
You should avoid drinking alcohol when taking this medication, as this can increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, risk of injury from fainting, sleepiness, and slow reactions.
While Priligy is an oral medication, EMLA cream is a numbing agent containing lidocaine and prilocaine that is applied topically to the head of the penis to reduce sensitivity. It is not licenced specifically for premature ejaculation but it widely used in this capacity and is available prescription-free. Priligy, which is an antidepressant, is usually only prescribed if other treatments such as EMLA cream have failed to achieve results.
Priligy is licenced in the UK as a prescription-only medication. It should therefore only be purchased from an registered pharmacy, such as Dr Felix. When buying products prescription-free from an unlicensed and most-likely illegal source, you can never be sure if it is genuine.
Since Priligy is an antidepressant, it is usually only prescribed in the event that other treatments, such as the numbing agent EMLA cream, have not worked. If EMLA cream does not seem to work for you, it is best not to continue using it. EMLA cream can cause localised side effects, and may be transferred to your sexual partner and limit their sensation of pleasure.
Priligy is thought to be effective in roughly 58% of users. However, different couples have different expectations of sexual performance time and satisfaction with the results of Priligy therefore varies.
