Premature Ejaculation Treatment

Emla Cream works within 10–20 minutes of application. Priligy (dapoxetine) is taken 1–3 hours before sex and stays effective for several hours. Most men notice a significant improvement from the first use.

Priligy is prescription-only in the UK. Our service makes this simple: complete a short online questionnaire and a registered prescriber reviews it, often issuing a prescription the same day if suitable. The process is fully confidential.

Priligy is an oral tablet that works on brain chemistry to delay ejaculation — suitable for regular use and tends to be more effective for more severe PE. Emla Cream is a topical anaesthetic applied to the penis that works faster and locally, with minimal side effects. Some men try both to see which suits them.

Emla Cream starts from £9.99 and Priligy from £24.99. The online consultation is free, and delivery is free on orders over £40.

Yes. The consultation is confidential and all treatments are sent in 100% discreet, plain packaging. Order before 3pm for next-day delivery.

Both are generally well tolerated. Priligy may cause mild, temporary nausea, dizziness or headache and should not be taken with alcohol or certain medicines. Emla may cause temporary numbness or mild skin irritation and must be washed off before intercourse. Always read the patient information leaflet.

It depends. Priligy shouldn’t be combined with other SSRIs, MAOIs, certain painkillers, or ED medicines without advice. Emla has fewer interactions. Disclose all your medicines during the consultation so our prescribers can check your safety.

PE can be very effectively managed and often resolves with the right approach. Medications like Priligy and Emla give reliable control, and combining them with behavioural techniques and reduced anxiety can lead to lasting improvement.

The speed depends on which treatment you choose. Emla Cream works within 10-20 minutes of application, making it ideal for spontaneous use. Priligy (dapoxetine) tablets should be taken 1-3 hours before sexual activity and remain effective for several hours. Most men notice significant improvement from the first use, with Priligy increasing time to ejaculation by 3-4 times on average. Consistency with treatment often leads to better results and increased confidence over time.

While PE can't always be "cured" in the traditional sense, it can be very effectively managed and often resolves completely with the right approach. For some men, particularly those with psychological causes, PE may improve with treatment and then not return. Medications like Priligy and Emla Cream provide reliable control when used as directed. Behavioural techniques such as the "stop-start" method and pelvic floor exercises can also provide long-term improvement. Many men find that combining treatments with reduced performance anxiety leads to lasting improvement, even after stopping medication.

Priligy (dapoxetine) is an oral tablet that works systemically by affecting brain chemistry to delay ejaculation. It's taken 1-3 hours before sex and is suitable for regular use. Emla Cream is a topical treatment applied directly to the penis to reduce sensitivity. It works locally and faster (10-20 minutes) but must be washed off before sexual contact to avoid affecting your partner. Priligy tends to be more effective for severe PE, while Emla offers a non-tablet option with minimal side effects. Some men try both to see which works best for them.

When used correctly, these treatments shouldn't negatively affect your partner. With Priligy, there's no direct effect on your partner as it's an oral medication. With Emla Cream, it's crucial to wash it off thoroughly before sexual contact to avoid transferring the numbing effect. Many partners appreciate the longer, more satisfying sexual experiences these treatments can enable. Open communication with your partner about treatment can actually strengthen your relationship and reduce performance anxiety.

This depends on what medications you're taking. Priligy shouldn't be used with other SSRIs, MAOIs, certain pain medications, or recreational drugs. It's also not recommended with medications for erectile dysfunction without medical advice. Emla Cream has fewer drug interactions but should be used cautiously with other local anaesthetics. Always disclose all medications you're taking during your online consultation so our pharmacists can check for interactions and ensure your safety.

Yes, several techniques can complement medical treatment. Pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) strengthen the muscles that control ejaculation. The "stop-start" technique and "squeeze" method help you recognize and control the point of ejaculatory inevitability. Reducing stress through mindfulness, exercise, and adequate sleep can help. Some men find wearing thicker condoms reduces sensitivity. However, for moderate to severe PE, these techniques work best when combined with medical treatments like Priligy or Emla Cream for faster, more reliable results.
