What
is Priligy ?
Priligy (Dapoxetine) is a drug specifically
developed for the on-demand treatment
of PE [Premature Ejaculation] and
is the first oral medication (tablet)
to be approved for this condition.
Priligy (Dapoxetine) has been extensively
evaluated in five randomised, placebo-controlled
Phase III clinical trials involving
more than 6,000 men with PE and their
partners. This is the largest and
most comprehensive clinical trial
programme to date for a drug therapy
to treat PE. Priligy (Dapoxetine)
is a unique, short-acting, selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)
designed to be taken only when needed,
that is 1–3 hours before sexual
intercourse is anticipated, rather
than every day.
Premature Ejaculation
PE is a distressing sexual dysfunction
that can be present from the first
sexual encounter or can develop later
in life. Depending on the methodology
and criteria used to evaluate the
prevalence of PE in studies, the reported
proportion of men affected with this
condition at some point in their lives
has ranged from 4–30%.
Studies have revealed that more men
suffer from PE than from Erectile
Dysfunction and can strike men at
any age. It is thought that a combination
of physiological and psychological
factors influences the mechanism of
premature ejaculation, causing it
to happen more quickly and with a
reduced feeling of control. Using
an inhibitor such as Priligy can help
a man to regain that feeling of control
and remove the negative personal impact
the problem can have.

first regulatory approvals for the
treatment of premature ejaculation
(PE)
How does Priligy work?
Priligy is classified as
a SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake
Inhibitor) drug, which means it doesn’t
need to be taken on a regular basis
every day. It only needs to be taken
an hour or two before sexual intercourse
for the user to feel the benefits
of the drug. Research suggests that
serotonin plays a central role in
the control and timing of ejaculation
and an inhibitor such as Priligy delays
the release of this hormone into the
body and so delays the act of ejaculation.
Priligy™ is an oral medication
taken to combat the effects of premature
ejaculation and is formerly known
as Dapoxetine. The drug has been approved
in some European countries such as
Sweden and Finland and is increasingly
in demand as a treatment for premature
ejaculation. Although not yet approved
for marketing authorisation in the
United States, several other EU countries
have approved the drug including Austria,
Germany, Spain, Portugal and Italy.
