Priligy 60mg FAQs
What is Priligy and what is it used for?
Priligy is a medication that contains the active ingredient dapoxetine. It is primarily used to treat premature ejaculation in men aged 18 to 64. Priligy helps to delay ejaculation, giving men better control over the timing of ejaculation and reducing anxiety or frustration caused by this condition.
What is premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation occurs when ejaculation happens too quickly during sexual activity, often within two minutes. This can cause distress and negatively affect relationships. Priligy works by increasing the time it takes to ejaculate, helping men gain better control.
How is Priligy taken?
Priligy should be taken 1 to 3 hours before engaging in sexual activity. It should not be taken more than once in a 24-hour period. The usual starting dose is 30 mg, which may be increased to 60 mg based on your doctor's recommendations. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water.
How does Priligy work to delay ejaculation?
Priligy contains dapoxetine, which is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It increases the action of serotonin in the nervous system, delaying the ejaculation reflex and extending the time it takes to ejaculate. This gives men more control over ejaculation and enhances sexual satisfaction.
What should I avoid while taking Priligy?
