Question 1

Does Priligy work immediately, or does it need to build up?

Accepted Answer

Priligy works on‑demand—it does not require daily dosing. You take it 1–3 hours before sex, and it starts working within that window. It does not accumulate in the body.

Question 2

Can Priligy cause fainting? How can I prevent it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, fainting (syncope) or orthostatic hypotension can occur. To reduce risk: take with a full glass of water, avoid alcohol, and do not stand up quickly. If you feel faint, lie down with head lower than body until it passes.

Question 3

Will Priligy affect my ability to get an erection?

Accepted Answer

Unlike some SSRIs, dapoxetine has low risk of causing erectile dysfunction. In clinical trials, erectile dysfunction occurred in less than 4% of men—similar to placebo.

Question 4

How long does Priligy stay in your system?

Accepted Answer

Priligy has a short half‑life of about 1.5 hours. It is mostly eliminated within 6–8 hours, and there is no detectable effect the next day.

Question 5

Can I take Priligy with tadalafil or sildenafil?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but caution is needed because both can lower blood pressure. Your doctor should supervise the combination. Avoid taking them at exactly the same time; separate dosing is advisable.
