Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Please tell me the treatment of primary premature ejaculation. I have been suffering for many years, from the beginning of my sexual life. I did not consult with a doctor and have not taken any medicine for this problem yet. I have no other health or physical problems without this. No erectile dysfunction.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Premature ejaculation in most individuals occurs because of anxiety and psychological reasons. Lack of experience, less foreplay, stress, etc., result in rapid ejaculation. Relaxed mind helps to improve the time. Distraction during sexual intercourse helps to increase time. Try to divert mind away during sex and this will help.

Drugs like SSRIs are the mainstay treatment for premature ejaculation. Dapoxetine is used commonly. The drug can be used on SOS basis and help to improve the time. It is safe to use. Please talk with a psychiatrist for the prescription.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Please tell the dose of Dapoxetine. How to take Dapoxetine? One tablet daily? For how many months?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The tablet is available in the dose of 30 mg to be taken around one hour before sex. The tablet should be used when needed and not regularly. The drug is safe to use and no serious side effects. This is a prescription drug and you should take the drug with proper prescription only.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Can I take it as one tablet once daily at bed time before sleep except on days with sexual activity for 30 days? Please suggest.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, this can be taken.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor, thank you for the reply.

I want a permanent cure for this disease by taking medicine. When I went to the pharmacy to get the medicine, they asked me to show the prescription. Could you please upload a prescription?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern, but it is not possible to provide an online prescription for this medicine. You have to visit a psychiatrist in person to get a prescription. With medicines your anxiety will decrease and you can remain in remission.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
