Priligy (dapoxetine) is a medicine for premature ejaculation, but Hi-Doctor does not prescribe it directly today. The alternatives offered instead carry robust clinical evidence and EMA authorisation, and a licensed doctor reviews your case to decide which one is appropriate.

​
What it is

Priligy is a sexual health medicine whose active ingredient is dapoxetine, a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor developed specifically for premature ejaculation. It is taken on demand, 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity, and is authorised in several EU countries. Although Priligy is associated with sexual health, it is not the first-line medicine Hi-Doctor prescribes — the doctor reviews your case and chooses between the EU-authorised alternatives below; if none is safe for you, they say so at no cost.

​
Why Hi-Doctor doesn’t prescribe it

A licensed doctor decides case by case, and Hi-Doctor never prescribes without evaluation. The doctor reviews your questionnaire, rules out contraindications, and explains the available options clearly. If your case is not eligible for any of them, the doctor tells you at no extra cost.

​
What can be considered instead

Sildenafil (Viagra)

Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor. The doctor assesses it after ruling out cardiovascular contraindications.

Tadalafil 10/20 mg

Long-acting PDE5 inhibitor. Available in low doses for daily use or higher doses on demand. See the tadalafil page.

Vardenafil 5/10/20 mg

Alternative within the same class, sometimes better tolerated depending on the patient’s profile.

Avanafil 50/100/200 mg

Faster-acting PDE5 inhibitor. An option for selected patients based on medical judgement.

Alprostadil (Vitaros)

Topical option for patients who don’t respond to PDE5 inhibitors or have contraindications. The doctor assesses suitability. See the alprostadil page.

Sexual health consultation

Answer the sexual health questionnaire and a registered doctor reviews it. They decide whether treatment is appropriate, which one, and at what dose — and declining is a normal outcome. See what it costs and how the review works.
