Description
Priligy for Premature ejaculation
The active ingredient in Priligy is dapoxetine. It works by changing the levels of a chemical in the brain called serotonin. Increases in serotonin levels, in turn, delay ejaculation.
After a single tablet, Priligy will reach maximum levels in 1 to 2 hours, and only 5% will be in the circulation after 24 hours.
Priligy is similar to some antidepressant medications, but it works more quickly and remains in the body for less time. Some men taking some antidepressants complain they have delayed ejaculation as a side effect. Priligy when taken for premature ejaculation is not an antidepressant, even though it has similarities in the way it works.
Directions
Priligy tablets are for men 18 to 64 years only. Priligy tablets are not licensed for use in older men.
The starting dose is one 30mg tablet 1 to 3 hours before intercourse. The dose can be increased to one 60mg tablet, as required, providing the 30mg dose has been well tolerated (no significant side effects are experienced).
Priligy tablets can be taken with or without food. Tablets should be swallowed whole.
Do not take daily on a regular basis, or repeat a dose within 24 hours.
Side Effects
Priligy can, in some men, cause a reduction in blood pressure with dizziness and even blackouts. Men who feel light-headed should sit with their head between their knees or lie down until symptoms resolve. They should take no further tablets without consulting a doctor. Increasing from a 30mg tablet to a 60mg would be inadvisable.
