Question 1

How does Priligy work?

Accepted Answer

Priligy contains the active ingredient dapoxetine, a type of medicine known as an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor).

Dapoxetine’s job is to increase the activity of serotonin in the nervous system. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is involved in passing messages between nerve cells. One of its functions is to send the nerve messages that cause ejaculation.

By increasing the activity of serotonin in the nervous system, Priligy helps you to last longer during sex and gives you better control over when you ejaculate.

Question 2

What should I expect when taking Priligy?

Accepted Answer

Priligy can give you more control over when you ejaculate and allow you to last up to three times longer during sex. You should take one tablet, with a large glass of water, one to two hours before you plan on having sex.

Question 3

How effective is Priligy?

Accepted Answer

Priligy is clinically proven to help men who are diagnosed with premature ejaculation last up to three times longer during sex.

Question 4

Can Priligy be taken more than once a day?

Accepted Answer

Priligy should be taken no more than once a day, and only before you plan on having sex. It’s a good idea to alternate between using Priligy during sex and having sex without using any medication.

This way you will be able to see if you can achieve better control over when you ejaculate without Priligy's help. Eventually, you should be able to achieve the same level of control both with and without the treatment.

Question 5

What are the common side effects of Priligy?

Accepted Answer

Like most medicines, Priligy can cause potential side effects, although not everyone gets them. Common side effects include:

Headaches; dizziness; feeling ill; anxiety; asthenia; impaired concentration; constipation; diarrhoea; drowsiness; dry mouth; gastrointestinal discomfort; gastrointestinal disorders; hypotension; mood alteration; nausea; paraesthesia; sexual dysfunction; sinus congestion; sleep disorders; sweat changes; syncope; tinnitus; tremors; vasodilation; blurred vision; vomiting; yawning.

In order to minimise the risk of any side effects, stay well hydrated before taking Priligy.

A complete list of side effects you could potentially experience when taking Priligy can be found in the Patient Information Leaflet enclosed in your medication. Please make sure to read this in full before taking your treatment for the first time.

Question 6

Are there any people who shouldn't use Priligy?

Accepted Answer

Priligy is not suitable for those who have a history of depression, mania, syncope, bipolar disorder, postural hypotension, significant cardiac disease, or uncontrolled epilepsy.

Question 7

What is an "off-licence" medicine?

Accepted Answer

An off-licence medicine is one that is used in a different way to that described in its licence. Examples, of off-licence use include:

Using a medicine for a different condition to that stated in the licence. This may happen because doctors have found that the medicine works very well for another condition. Using the medicine in this way may be supported by expert groups, but the manufacturer of the medication has not extended its licence.
Using a medicine in an age group beyond the boundaries of the licensed range.
Using a medicine at a higher dose than stated in the licence.

Our Delay Spray is an off-licence treatment that is formulated around your needs and may contain lidocaine. Lidocaine is a mild anaesthetic that is licensed for use in other applications than premature ejaculation. Delay Spray makes use of lidocaine’s anaesthetic ability to delay ejaculation and prolong sex, so you can enjoy longer-lasting lovemaking.

Question 8

How much longer can I last when using a PE treatment?

Accepted Answer

This depends greatly on your personal experience with PE. However, you should experience a noticeable increase in the time it takes to ejaculate when using a PE treatment.

For example, one study showed that men using Priligy (60mg) were able to last up to three times longer during sex than without it. Likewise, Delay Wipes and Delay Spray each contain a mild anaesthetic that can delay the onset of PE to help you last noticeably longer in bed.
