Priligy (Dapoxetine) 30mg Tablets

Buy Priligy Online

Priligy is a fast-acting prescription medication containing dapoxetine, the only licensed oral treatment in the UK specifically designed to treat premature ejaculation (PE) in men aged 18 to 64. It helps improve control over ejaculation, increases time to ejaculation, and reduces distress or frustration caused by this condition.

Priligy belongs to a group of medicines known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), but it works differently from typical SSRIs used for depression. It is taken on demand, making it a convenient option for men who need short-term support for sexual performance.

Ingredients

Active Ingredient (per tablet):

Dapoxetine hydrochloride 30mg or 60mg

Other ingredients include:

Lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, colloidal anhydrous silica, magnesium stearate, and film-coating agents.

• Men with a consistent history of poor control over ejaculation and associated distress or interpersonal difficulty

Directions for Use

1. Take 1 tablet (30mg or 60mg) with a full glass of water 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity
2. Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours
3. Priligy can be taken with or without food, but avoid alcohol, as it increases the risk of side effects like dizziness or fainting
4. Start with 30mg. If no improvement is seen and side effects are tolerable, 60mg may be prescribed under supervision

How Priligy Works

Dapoxetine increases serotonin levels in the nervous system, helping delay ejaculation by enhancing control over the ejaculatory reflex. It works rapidly, with effects noticeable within 60–90 minutes after ingestion and lasts for several hours.
