Priligy Tablets (30mg, 60mg)
About the product
Priligy tablets contain dapoxetine, a short-acting medicine used to treat premature ejaculation in adult men. Dapoxetine is a type of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that works by increasing serotonin activity in the brain, helping to improve control over ejaculation and increase the time before climax. The tablets are taken orally 1–3 hours before anticipated sexual activity, but not more than once in 24 hours. Priligy is intended for use in men who experience persistent or recurrent premature ejaculation and should be used alongside lifestyle changes or counselling if recommended. It is available by prescription following medical assessment.
