Description:

Priligy is a medication manufactured by Menarini, containing the active substance Dapoxetine. It is primarily used in the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in adult men aged 18 to 64 years. Priligy belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), specifically designed to address the issue of premature ejaculation.

Mechanism of Action:

Dapoxetine works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, emotions, and ejaculation. By increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain, Priligy helps to delay the ejaculation reflex, thereby extending the time to ejaculation and improving control over ejaculation.

Indications:

Priligy (Dapoxetine) is indicated for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in adult men. Premature ejaculation is defined as persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, on, or shortly after penetration, and before the person wishes it.

Dosage and Administration:

• The recommended dosage of Priligy is one tablet (30 mg) taken orally with water, 1 to 3 hours before anticipated sexual activity.
• It is important not to exceed the recommended dosage, as this can increase the risk of side effects.
• Priligy should not be taken more than once within a 24-hour period.

Potential Side Effects:

• Common side effects of Priligy may include:
  • Nausea
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Diarrhea
  • Fatigue
  • Insomnia
• More serious side effects are rare but can include:
  • Fainting or syncope
  • Changes in mood or behavior
  • Suicidal thoughts or tendencies

Precautions:

• Priligy should be used with caution in individuals with certain medical conditions, such as liver or kidney impairment, heart disease, or bleeding disorders.
• It may interact with certain medications, particularly antidepressants, and patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are taking.
• Alcohol consumption should be limited while taking Priligy, as it can increase the risk of side effects.

Note:

Priligy (Dapoxetine) is an effective medication for the treatment of premature ejaculation. Its use should be under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, and patients are advised to follow their healthcare provider’s recommendations closely for optimal safety and efficacy.
