Overview

Premature Ejaculation Doctor Service

Priligy is used to treat premature ejaculation in adult men aged 18 to 64 years.

Premature ejaculation is when a man ejaculates with little sexual stimulation and before the man wants. This can cause problems for the man and may cause problems in sexual relationships.

Priligy increases the time it takes to ejaculate and can improve the control over the ejaculation. This may reduce the frustration or worry about fast ejaculation.

The effect of Priligy lasts for up to four hours after the tablet has been taken. It can almost double the duration of sexual intercourse and helps men gain better control over when they ejaculate.

How This Medicine Works

  • The active substance dapoxetine takes about one hour to take effect, so you need to allow time for it to work before having sex.
    The effect of Priligy will last for up to four hours, therefore you should take Priligy one to three hours before you expect you are going to have sex.

Priligy is not suitable for people living with certain conditions or those taking certain medicines. It is not recommended for some men with heart, kidney and liver problems. It can also interact with other medicines, such as other antidepressants.

The service isn’t suitable for you if:

  • You are under 18 years old or you are 65 years old or over
  • You do not have premature ejaculation.

A good self care guide and information for premature ejaculation is available on the NHS website.

FAQ

What Is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is a common sexual problem. It's where the male ejaculates too quickly during sexual intercourse.

A study looking at 500 couples from 5 different countries found the average time taken to ejaculate during intercourse was around 5-and-a-half minutes. However, it's up to each couple to decide if they’re happy with the time taken – there's no definition of how long sex should last.

Occasional episodes of premature ejaculation are common and are not a cause for concern. However, if you're finding that around half of your attempts at sex result in premature ejaculation, it might help to get treatment.

Various psychological and physical factors can cause a man to suddenly experience premature ejaculation.

Common Physical Causes Include:

  • Prostate problems
  • Thyroid problems – an overactive or underactive thyroid gland
  • Using recreational drugs
  • Biological reasons – some men may find their penis is extra sensitive

Common Psychological Causes Include:

  • Depression, stress, or other emotional problems
  • Anxiety about your relationship or sexual performance
