More information
"Priligy is often prescribed for men aged 18 to 64 who experience premature ejaculation (PE). It is currently the only oral medication licensed in the UK specifically for this condition. By working on the serotonin levels in the nervous system, it helps to delay the ejaculation reflex, giving men more control and extending the time before climax. It is designed to be taken 'on-demand' prior to sexual activity, rather than as a daily medication, offering flexibility for patients managing this common men's health issue."

Priligy is a licensed oral medication used for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in adult men. It is designed for men who find they ejaculate with little sexual stimulation and before they wish to, which can cause personal distress or difficulties in relationships. Unlike some other treatments that are used 'off-label', Priligy is specifically approved for reducing the time to ejaculation and improving control over climax.
The active ingredient in Priligy is dapoxetine (as dapoxetine hydrochloride). It belongs to a class of medicines known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). While other SSRIs are often used as antidepressants, dapoxetine was developed specifically to be absorbed and eliminated by the body rapidly, making it suitable for on-demand use for sexual health.
Many men who use Priligy UK wide report a significant improvement in their intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (the time it takes to ejaculate). Users often describe feeling a greater sense of control during intercourse and reduced anxiety regarding performance. While individual results vary, clinical studies have shown that dapoxetine can increase the time to ejaculation by two to three times on average.
Every order of Priligy prescription medication shipped by Mail my Meds includes the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL). This document contains vital information about the medicine, including full dosage instructions and a complete list of ingredients. We strongly recommend reading the PIL before taking your first tablet. You can also access this information electronically via the EMC (Electronic Medicines Compendium).
Priligy works by boosting the levels of serotonin in the nervous system. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a central role in the ejaculation reflex. By inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, dapoxetine increases its availability at the nerve terminals. This enhanced serotonin activity delays the nerve signals that trigger ejaculation, helping you last longer and giving you more control over when you climax.
To get the best results from your treatment, follow these guidelines:
- Timing: Take the tablet 1 to 3 hours before you anticipate sexual activity.
- Hydration: Swallow the tablet whole with at least one full glass of water. This helps absorption and reduces the risk of feeling faint.
- Frequency: Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours.
- Food: It can be taken with or without food, though heavy meals might slightly delay absorption.
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol when taking Priligy, as it can increase the risk of side effects like dizziness and drowsiness.
Priligy is typically available in two strengths. Your prescriber will determine the correct dose for you based on your medical history and consultation.
- Starting Dose: Most men are started on the lower dose to assess tolerance and effectiveness.
- Adjustment: If the starting dose is well-tolerated but not effective enough, a doctor may increase the prescription to the higher strength.
Always take the exact dose prescribed to you. Do not double up doses if you miss one or feel it didn't work as expected.
Like all medicines, Priligy can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects include:
- Nausea (feeling sick)
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Headache
- Dry mouth
- Diarrhoea
If you experience dizziness, sit or lie down until the feeling passes. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, stop taking the medication and consult a medical professional immediately.
Priligy is not suitable for everyone. During your online consultation, you must inform our prescriber if you have:
- Heart problems (such as heart failure or rhythm issues).
- A history of fainting.
- Mania or severe depression.
- Liver or kidney problems.
Drug Interactions: Do not take Priligy if you are taking other antidepressants (MAOIs, SSRIs, SNRIs), thioridazine, lithium, or certain antifungals and antivirals. Ensure you list all current medications in your consultation.
While Priligy is the primary oral treatment licensed for PE, other options exist. Here is a general comparison:
| Feature | Priligy (Dapoxetine) | EMLA / Stud 100 (Topical) | Generic SSRIs (Off-label) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Form | Oral Tablet | Cream / Spray | Oral Tablet |
| Usage | On-demand (1-3 hrs before) | Applied to penis before sex | Often taken daily |
| Mechanism | Delays nerve signal (Internal) | Numbs sensation (External) | Delays nerve signal |
| Sensation | Normal sensation retained | Reduces sensitivity | Normal sensation retained |
Is Priligy available on the NHS?
While Priligy is licensed in the UK, it is rarely available on an NHS prescription. Most men obtain it via a private prescription from an online pharmacy like Mail my Meds, where the cost of the medication and the consultation are bundled together.
How long does Priligy last?
The effects of dapoxetine are most potent 1 to 3 hours after taking it. However, the medication is rapidly eliminated from the body, which is why it is used on-demand rather than accumulating in your system like daily antidepressants.
Can I combine Priligy with Viagra or Cialis?
You should use caution when combining Priligy with erectile dysfunction medications (like Sildenafil or Tadalafil) as both can lower blood pressure. You must consult your prescriber before taking these treatments together to ensure it is safe for your specific cardiovascular health.
Does Priligy cure premature ejaculation?
Priligy is a treatment, not a permanent cure. It works only when you take it. If you stop taking the medication, your intravaginal ejaculatory latency time is likely to return to previous levels.
