Priligy is a prescription medication primarily used for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in men between the ages of 18 and 64. Its active ingredient is dapoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the nervous system to enhance the time it takes to ejaculate and improve control over ejaculation. This can significantly reduce the stress or frustration that often accompanies premature ejaculation. Priligy is taken orally, usually one to three hours before sexual activity, and should not be taken more frequently than once every 24 hours. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions closely when using Priligy to ensure its effectiveness and minimize potential side effects.
