Priligy is the brand name of dapoxetine which is used to treat premature ejaculation (PE). Premature ejaculation is when you ejaculate too quickly during sexual activity.

Priligy gives you better control over ejaculation, so you can last longer during sex.

If you have erectile dysfunction, this can also cause premature ejaculation. It’s better to treat the cause of the erectile dysfunction first, so speak to your doctor if this is the case for you.

Priligy works using the active ingredient dapoxetine hydrochloride. Dapoxetine is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).

Serotonin is a chemical found in your nervous system. Dapoxetine works by stopping your nerve cells reabsorbing serotonin, so that it builds up in your nervous system. This helps to give better control over ejaculation.

You can take Priligy once a day around 1 to 3 hours before you want to have sex. But you should not use Priligy more than once per day.

You can take Priligy tablets if you have premature ejaculation. This means you ejaculate sooner than you’d like after starting sexual intercourse.

To help reduce premature ejaculation, try using a thicker condom to reduce sensitivity or taking breaks during sex. If these methods do not work, Priligy may be your next option. Speak to a doctor at Asda Online Doctor today to see if Priligy is suitable for you.
