Dapoxetine 60 Mg – Priligy

What Is Dapoxetine 60 mg?

Dapoxetine is a fast-acting SSRI developed specifically for the short-term management of premature ejaculation. Unlike traditional SSRIs used for depression, dapoxetine has a rapid onset and short duration of action, making it suitable for on-demand use prior to sexual activity, as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

The 60 mg strength is typically prescribed when a lower dose (30 mg) has not provided sufficient improvement or is not tolerated. Decisions regarding dose adjustment should always be made by a clinician based on effectiveness and side effects.

How Dapoxetine Works

Dapoxetine increases levels of serotonin at nerve endings in the central nervous system. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of mood and several reflex actions, including the ejaculatory reflex. By prolonging the activity of serotonin, dapoxetine can:

• Delay the ejaculatory reflex

• Increase the time before ejaculation

• Improve perceived control over ejaculation

These effects can help improve symptoms of PE when used as part of an overall treatment plan.

Indications

Dapoxetine 60 mg is prescribed for:

• Premature ejaculation (PE) in adult men

• Improving control over ejaculation

• Delaying time to ejaculation

It is not indicated for sexual desire disorders, erectile dysfunction, or use in women or children.

Dosage & Administration

• Take one 60 mg tablet 1–3 hours before anticipated sexual activity, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

• Do not exceed one dose in 24 hours.

• The medication can be taken with or without food.

• Swallow the tablet whole with water.

Your healthcare provider may start you on a lower dose (e.g., 30 mg) before increasing to 60 mg based on your response and side effects.
