About Priligy (dapoxetine)
Priligy (dapoxetine) is marketed in some countries for premature ejaculation but is not FDA‑approved in the United States. Southwestern Medical Center does not prescribe or dispense Priligy. If you are seeking care for PE, our clinicians can evaluate you and discuss FDA‑approved and evidence‑based approaches.
Important: Avoid purchasing unapproved drugs from unverified online sources due to safety and quality risks.
What we can do
- Assess contributing factors (e.g., anxiety, thyroid issues, prostatitis) and discuss lifestyle strategies.
- Consider topical anesthetics or other evidence‑based approaches when appropriate.
- Coordinate therapy referrals and follow‑up to track progress.
