Drug for Premature Ejaculation

Men have been suffering from premature ejaculation (PE) since ages, but till date, there has been no approved prescription drug for premature ejaculation treatment. Several herbal drug manufacturers have claimed that their concoctions treat premature ejaculation, but these have been just claims.

The lack of a prescription treatment has led thousands of men suffering from PE to also face other issues like low self-confidence and depression. But now there is hope on the horizon for such men. The new drug Priligy from Johnson & Johnson is under review with the FDA as a prescription treatment for PE.

Priligy contains dapoxetine hydrochloride, which was created for treating depression but showed better effects on men suffering from PE. So the manufacturer decided to put it forward as a medication for this condition.

If it is approved, it will become the first prescription treatment for PE, but it will be much more than that. Any medication that treats this sexual health condition in men would also help prevent a lot of other issues faced by them. Men who are not 100% in sex generally feel inadequate and this tends to rub off on the other aspects of their life.

A drug for premature ejaculation will allow men to treat this inadequacy and subsequently regain their confidence. While there are some other treatments for PE including topical ointments like lidocaine and SS Cream, the need for a drug has always been felt.

Once Priligy is approved, it is expected to quickly gain immense popularity as it would be a breakthrough product for men’s sexual health.
