Description
Priligy tablets are used to treat premature ejaculation (PE) in adult men. They can help increase the time it takes to ejaculate, improve control and reduce distress or frustration related to PE. After a short online consultation, a UK-registered prescriber can issue a private prescription if suitable, and your treatment is dispensed by our pharmacy and delivered in plain, discreet packaging.
What are Priligy tablets?
Priligy contains dapoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) specifically developed for premature ejaculation. By affecting the levels of serotonin in the brain, it helps delay ejaculation and improve control during sexual activity. Priligy should only be used as directed by your doctor or prescriber and is not intended for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
How it works
Priligy contains dapoxetine, a fast-acting medicine used to treat premature ejaculation in men. It works by increasing the level of serotonin in the brain, which helps delay ejaculation and gives you better control during sex.
Priligy is taken 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity, and only when needed – it is not for everyday use. When used as directed, it can help increase the time to ejaculation and reduce anxiety or stress related to climaxing too quickly.

Each tablet contains dapoxetine as the active ingredient.
