Priligy, produced by Menarini, is a medication designed to help treat premature ejaculation. Each tablet contains 30mg of the active ingredient Dapoxetine, which is an antidepressant that has proven effective for this condition. As a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), Dapoxetine increases serotonin levels in the body, which, when low, can lead to difficulties in controlling ejaculation. By elevating serotonin levels, the drug aids in enhancing control over ejaculation and prolongs the time before ejaculation occurs.
DosageThe standard dosage of Dapoxetine is 30mg, though a doctor may modify this based on the patient's individual response and tolerance. A Priligy tablet should be taken orally 1 to 3 hours prior to anticipated sexual activity, swallowed whole with a glass of water to avoid its bitter taste. It can be ingested with or without food. This medication should be taken no more than once every 24 hours and is not intended for daily consumption.
Priligy is only recommended for men aged 18 to 64.
