Introducing Priligy: Developed by Menarini, Priligy is a groundbreaking medication specifically designed to address premature ejaculation in men. Each tablet contains a potent 30mg dose of Dapoxetine, an effective selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). By increasing serotonin levels in the body, Dapoxetine helps enhance control over ejaculation, allowing men to enjoy a more fulfilling sexual experience.
Dosage Information: The recommended dosage of Dapoxetine is 30mg, but your healthcare provider may adjust this based on your individual response and tolerance. Take one Priligy tablet orally 1 to 3 hours before anticipated sexual activity, swallowing it whole with a glass of water to bypass the bitter taste. This medication can be taken with or without food but should not be consumed more than once every 24 hours and is not meant for daily use. Priligy is intended for adult men aged 18 to 64.
Contraindications: Priligy is not suitable for individuals allergic to Dapoxetine or any of its components. It is also contraindicated for those with specific medical conditions, including:
