Dapoxetine is a prescription medicine used to treat premature ejaculation (PE) in adult men aged 18 to 64 years.

It is the generic version of the branded medicine Priligy®. Both contain the same active ingredient and work in the same way. The difference is that Priligy is a branded product, while dapoxetine is the non-branded (generic) version, which is typically more cost-effective.

This treatment belongs to a group of medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Unlike antidepressants in the same class, dapoxetine is designed to be taken only when needed, rather than every day. Most men take one tablet 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity.

What is dapoxetine used for?

Dapoxetine is a licensed treatment for premature ejaculation (PE). It is prescribed to men who regularly ejaculate sooner than they or their partner would like during sexual activity.

Premature ejaculation is one of the most common male sexual health conditions, affecting around 1 in 3 men at some point in their lives. While occasional episodes are completely normal, PE may benefit from treatment if it happens frequently, causes distress, or impacts your confidence or relationships.

Dapoxetine is intended for men who:

Usually ejaculate within around two minutes of penetration.
Have little control over when they ejaculate.
Feel frustrated, anxious or distressed by the problem.
Have experienced symptoms for at least six months.

Note: It is not designed to treat erectile dysfunction or increase sexual desire. However, some men find that improved ejaculatory control also helps reduce performance anxiety and makes sex more enjoyable.

How does dapoxetine work?

Dapoxetine works by increasing the activity of serotonin, a natural chemical messenger in the brain that plays an important role in controlling ejaculation.

Normally, nerve signals trigger ejaculation during sexual activity. By increasing serotonin levels between nerve cells, dapoxetine slows these signals, helping delay ejaculation and improve control over climax.

Unlike antidepressant SSRIs, which take several weeks to become effective, dapoxetine is rapidly absorbed and eliminated from the body. This means it starts working within a few hours and does not need to be taken every day.

Most men take a single tablet 1 to 3 hours before sex, allowing the medicine to work when it’s needed while reducing the risk of ongoing side effects associated with daily treatment.

Note: It’s important to remember that dapoxetine isn’t intended to make you last indefinitely. Instead, it helps increase the time to ejaculation enough to improve control and reduce the distress associated with premature ejaculation.

Is dapoxetine available over the counter?

No. Dapoxetine is a prescription-only medicine (POM) in the UK and cannot be bought over the counter.

This is because a healthcare professional needs to check that the medicine is suitable for you. During your consultation, your prescriber will assess factors such as:

Your symptoms and how long you’ve experienced them.
Your medical history.
Any heart conditions or episodes of fainting.
Other medicines you’re taking.
Whether another treatment may be more appropriate.

Buying dapoxetine from a registered UK online pharmacy such as Chemist Click ensures you receive genuine medication that has been prescribed safely following a clinical assessment.

Avoid purchasing dapoxetine from unregulated websites that do not require a prescription, as counterfeit medicines may be ineffective or unsafe.

Can you buy dapoxetine online?

Yes. You can legally buy dapoxetine online from a UK-registered pharmacy after completing an online consultation. If your treatment is approved by one of our prescribers, your medication will be dispensed and delivered discreetly to your chosen address.

This offers a convenient and confidential way to access treatment without needing a face-to-face GP appointment, while ensuring the medicine is prescribed safely and appropriately.

Dapoxetine Dosage Instructions

Dapoxetine is available in 30mg and 60mg tablets.

Unlike many other medicines, dapoxetine is not taken every day. It is designed to be taken only before you expect to have sex.

Dapoxetine 30mg

Dapoxetine 30mg is the recommended starting dose for most men. It provides effective treatment for many people while reducing the likelihood of side effects compared with the higher strength.

Your prescriber will usually recommend staying on the 30mg dose if it provides good control over ejaculation and is well tolerated.

Dapoxetine 60mg

If you’ve tried 30mg and found it wasn’t effective enough, your prescriber may increase your dose to 60mg.

The higher dose may provide greater improvements in ejaculatory control for some men, but it is also associated with a higher risk of side effects such as nausea, dizziness and headache. For this reason, 60mg is only recommended when the benefits are expected to outweigh the risks.

Never increase your dose without advice from a healthcare professional.

Important note: The maximum dose of dapoxetine is 60mg per day. You should never take more than one tablet within 24 hours. Taking too much can increase the risk of serious side effects including fainting and serotonin syndrome. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist to confirm the most appropriate dapoxetine dosage.

How to Take Dapoxetine for Best Results

To get the best results from dapoxetine:

Take one tablet 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity.
Swallow the tablet whole with at least one full glass of water.
The tablet can be taken with or without food.
Do not crush, chew or split the tablet.
Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period.
Avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol while taking dapoxetine, as this can increase the risk of dizziness and fainting.

Although dapoxetine starts working within a few hours, it may take a few attempts before you feel confident using the medicine. Many men find that combining treatment with relaxation techniques, open communication with their partner and reducing performance anxiety helps achieve the best results.

If you miss the opportunity to take dapoxetine before sex, simply wait until the next occasion. Do not take it unless you expect to have sexual activity.

Dapoxetine Side Effects

Like all medicines, Dapoxetine can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them.

Most side effects are mild and short-lived, and many men tolerate the medicine well.

Common side effects:

Nausea
Headache
Dizziness
Diarrhoea
Insomnia

Drinking plenty of water and avoiding alcohol can help reduce the likelihood of dizziness and feeling faint.

Uncommon side effects:

Vomiting
Irritability or anxiety
Blurred vision
Increased sweating
Fainting or feeling faint (especially when standing up quickly)

Some men may experience a temporary drop in blood pressure when standing up quickly, which can lead to dizziness or fainting. This is why it’s recommended to stay well hydrated and rise slowly from sitting or lying down.

Serious side effects

Although rare, you should stop taking dapoxetine and seek urgent medical advice if you experience:

Fainting or loss of consciousness
Chest pain
A seizure (fit)
Severe allergic reaction, including swelling of the face, lips or throat
Thoughts of self-harm or significant changes in mood

If you experience any side effects that are persistent, severe or worrying, speak to your pharmacist, GP or prescriber.

Dapoxetine Warnings

Dapoxetine is not suitable for everyone. Before prescribing treatment, your clinician will assess whether it is safe based on your medical history and any medicines you take.

You should not take dapoxetine if you:

Are under 18 or over 64 years of age.
Have significant heart disease or certain heart rhythm disorders.
Have a history of fainting caused by heart problems.
Have moderate or severe liver disease.
Are allergic to dapoxetine or any of its ingredients.
Are taking medicines that should not be used alongside dapoxetine.

Tell your prescriber before taking dapoxetine if you have:

Kidney problems.
Epilepsy.
Depression, bipolar disorder or another mental health condition.
A history of dizziness or fainting.
Bleeding disorders or if you take medicines that increase bleeding risk.

Dapoxetine Interactions

Some medicines can interact with dapoxetine, making side effects more likely or affecting how well the medicine works.

Tell your prescriber about all medicines, supplements and herbal remedies you take before starting treatment.

Medicines that may interact with dapoxetine include:

Other antidepressants, including SSRIs, SNRIs and MAOIs.
Medicines used to treat mental health conditions.
Certain migraine medicines (triptans).
Some strong antifungal medicines.
Certain antibiotics, including erythromycin.
HIV medicines that affect liver enzymes.
Medicines used to treat erectile dysfunction, such as sildenafil or tadalafil, as the combination may increase the risk of low blood pressure in some men.
Blood-thinning medicines such as warfarin.
Herbal remedies containing St John’s wort.

Always check with your pharmacist or prescriber before starting any new medication while taking dapoxetine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many men experience both premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, so it’s common to wonder whether these medicines can be taken together.

For some men, combining dapoxetine with sildenafil or tadalafil can be appropriate, but this should only be done under the guidance of a prescriber. Both medicines can lower blood pressure, increase the chance of dizziness or fainting in some people.

If you’re experiencing both premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, let your prescriber know during your consultation so they can recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

There’s no set number of minutes that dapoxetine will make you last, as it works differently for everyone. Clinical studies show that men taking dapoxetine typically last around two to three times longer before ejaculation than they did before treatment. It also helps improve control over ejaculation and reduces the distress associated with premature ejaculation.

Dapoxetine increases the activity of serotonin, a natural chemical messenger in the brain that helps regulate ejaculation. By enhancing serotonin signalling, it delays the nerve impulses that trigger ejaculation, helping you last longer during sex. Dapoxetine is rapidly absorbed and cleared from the body, which is why it’s taken only when needed rather than every day.

Tadalafil and dapoxetine are used to treat different male sexual health conditions. Tadalafil treats erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis, making it easier to get and maintain an erection. Dapoxetine treats premature ejaculation (PE) by helping delay ejaculation and improve control. Some men experience both ED and PE, and in certain cases these medicines can be prescribed together if a healthcare professional considers the combination suitable.

Dapoxetine and paroxetine can both be used to treat premature ejaculation, but they work in different ways. Dapoxetineis specifically licensed for premature ejaculation in the UK and is taken only when needed, 1 to 3 hours before sex. Paroxetine is an antidepressant that is sometimes prescribed off label for premature ejaculation and usually needs to be taken every day before its full effects are seen. For most men looking for an on-demand treatment, dapoxetine is the preferred option, but the best choice depends on your symptoms, medical history and your prescriber’s recommendation.

Premature ejaculation is one of the most common male sexual concerns. It is estimated to affect around 1 in 3 men at some point in their lives. It can happen occasionally due to stress, anxiety or tiredness, or it may be a long-term condition. Although it can be frustrating, effective treatments and self-help strategies are available.

You may have premature ejaculation if you regularly ejaculate sooner than you or your partner would like, often within one minute of penetration, or if you’re unable to delay ejaculation during most sexual encounters. It may also cause distress, frustration or lead to avoiding intimacy. If these symptoms occur consistently over several months, it’s worth speaking to a healthcare professional or completing an online assessment to discuss treatment options.

Yes, in many cases erectile dysfunction (ED) medicines such as sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis) can be used alongside dapoxetine, and some prescription treatments combine them. However, this should only be done under medical supervision, as both affect sexual function and may not be suitable for everyone. A clinician will check for interactions, blood pressure issues, and underlying health conditions before recommending combined use.

If dapoxetine does not work, it doesn’t necessarily mean there are no other options. Some men may need a dose adjustment, more time to assess response, or a different approach such as behavioural techniques, topical treatments, or alternative medications. Premature ejaculation can have both physical and psychological factors, so a treatment plan is often tailored individually. If it isn’t effective, it’s best to speak with a healthcare professional rather than stopping treatment on your own.

Yes. If premature ejaculation or sexual performance changes start suddenly, it’s a good idea to get checked. Sudden onset can sometimes be linked to stress, anxiety, relationship changes, infections, hormonal issues, or other underlying medical conditions. A healthcare professional can help rule out physical causes and ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment.
