About Priligy
Priligy tablets are manufactured by A. Menarini and contain the active ingredient dapoxetine. It was originally researched as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant, but had a short action time. It is now mainly used to treat premature ejaculation.
Priligy helps to delay ejaculation by increasing the activity of serotonin in the body’s nervous system. This helps slow down ejaculation and prolong sex.
NowPatient offers Priligy as a treatment for premature ejaculation only, following an online consultation with a prescribing clinician.

FAQs
Answers to Popular Questions About Priligy
What is Priligy?
Priligy is a prescription medication containing dapoxetine, used to treat premature ejaculation (PE) in men aged 18–64. Dapoxetine is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) specifically designed for on-demand use before sexual activity. It is the only licensed oral treatment for premature ejaculation in the UK. Priligy is available as 30 mg and 60 mg tablets.
How does Priligy work?
Dapoxetine increases serotonin activity in the nerve synapses that control ejaculation. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps delay ejaculation by inhibiting the ejaculatory reflex. Unlike long-acting SSRIs used for depression, dapoxetine is rapidly absorbed and rapidly eliminated, making it suitable for on-demand use before sex rather than daily dosing. Clinical studies show it approximately doubles intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT).
How effective is Priligy?
Clinical trials show that Priligy approximately doubles or triples the time to ejaculation. At 30 mg, average IELT increased from about 0.9 minutes to 3.1 minutes. At 60 mg, it increased to about 3.6 minutes. Priligy also significantly improves perceived control over ejaculation and reduces distress. It is most effective when combined with behavioural techniques.
How do I take Priligy?
Take one 30 mg tablet 1–3 hours before anticipated sexual activity. Swallow whole with a full glass of water. If the 30 mg dose is insufficient, your prescriber may increase it to 60 mg. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours. Priligy can be taken with or without food but avoid excessive alcohol. Stay well-hydrated to reduce the risk of fainting.
Can I take Priligy with Viagra or Cialis?
Priligy can be used alongside PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil) if a man has both premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. However, the combination may increase the risk of side effects, particularly dizziness and low blood pressure. Your prescriber should assess suitability and monitor you carefully. Start with lower doses of both medications.
What are the side effects of Priligy?
Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhoea. Dizziness and syncope (fainting) are specific concerns — always take Priligy with water and avoid dehydration. Avoid alcohol, as it increases the risk of fainting. Less common effects include insomnia, anxiety, and decreased libido. These side effects are usually mild and short-lived due to the drug’s rapid elimination.
Who should not take Priligy?
Priligy should not be taken by men with significant heart conditions, a history of syncope, severe liver impairment, or those taking MAOIs, thioridazine, SSRIs, SNRIs, or tricyclic antidepressants. It should not be taken with recreational drugs such as ecstasy or St John’s wort. A postural blood pressure test may be recommended before prescribing.
How can I get Priligy?
Priligy requires a prescription and is available from your GP or through NowPatient’s online service. NowPatient offers discreet online consultations and home delivery. Your prescriber will assess whether dapoxetine is suitable for your type of premature ejaculation.
