Priligy is given to men aged 18 to 64 years old dealing with premature ejaculation. Dapoxetine, the name of the compound, was initially developed as an antidepressant belonging to a family of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs). Premature ejaculation is described in several scenarios as involving ejaculation that occurs within two minutes of penetration or with little stimulation, and poor control over ejaculation. Priligy acts to combat this by increasing how long it takes to ejaculate while promoting control over ejaculation. Further, it reduces stress associated with ejaculation brevity and in return will lead to a more satisfactory sex life. Men should know that this is not a condition to be embarrassed about and have an open and honest discussion with a trusted medical professional who can work towards mitigating the effects premature ejaculation have one their life and help renew their sex life and relationship with their sexual partner.
Common side effects when taking priligy include nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, dizziness, and dry mouth. These are all minor side effects that have been reported. As always, any severe adverse reactions should be reported to a medical professional immediately and discontinue use of priligy right away. Follow the instructions provided when given priligy, as not adhering to the guidelines can result in unsafe health conditions and may impact your life, health, and safety in negative ways. It is important to be aware of potential drug interactions and remain aware of how to correctly consume the medication.
Priligy should not be taken with any drug in the class of phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE5) which include most erectile dysfunction medications, as well as those treating pulmonary arterial hypertension. Priligy should be taken between one to three hours before sexual activity and it is taken on an as needed basis, meaning there is no strict dosage schedule. Priligy is available as 30 mg and 60 mg doses and can be taken with or without food. You should not take more than one dose of priligy within 24 hours and avoid consuming alcohol. Priligy is available for purchase through physical or online pharmacies as film coated tablets taken orally with one glass of water. Priligy is currently not licensened for use to treat premature ejaculation in the United States and other countries. To preserve legality, please talk to a physician about your available options for treating premature ejaculation. Other treatments may include therapy to reduce stress and depression, or tactics to reduce urge to ejaculate. Regardless, it is important to have a conversation with a medical professional who can safely guide you to a correct option that will not harm your health and will compliment your lifestyle while also reducing the harm premature ejaculation has on your life.
Premature ejaculation can manifest in men for many reasons, most commonly as psychological issues stemming from depression, anxiety, stress, or guilt. Sometimes, it may be resultant from a medical cause (hormonal), due to injury, or as a side effect of medications. It is important to keep your doctor aware of all medications you are currently taking.
