Premature ejaculation treatments

Premature ejaculation, or early climax, is when you ejaculate sooner than you or your partner desires.

You may experience it as a lifelong condition from your first sexual experience (primary PE), or it may have a gradual or sudden onset (secondary PE).

Priligy is a prescription medication used to treat premature ejaculation, which contains an ingredient called dapoxetine.

Dapoxetine is an SSRI specifically designed to treat premature ejaculation, and works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. It’s designed to be taken on demand 1–3 hours before sex.

There are two types of premature ejaculation:

The causes of primary premature ejaculation are often psychological. Secondary premature ejaculation can be caused by both psychological and physical factors. Physical causes can include drinking too much alcohol, using recreational drugs and inflammation of the prostate gland.

Studies show a significant increase in the number of people who report delayed ejaculation when taking dapoxetine (Priligy).

If you usually ejaculate in less than two minutes, Priligy may be able to help you last up to 3x longer.

The recommended starting dose of Priligy is 30mg.

If you take 30mg and find it isn’t effective enough, you can increase the dosage to 60mg.
