What are Premature Ejaculation Tablets?
Premature ejaculation tablets are for men between the ages of 18-64 who cannot naturally control their ejaculation and cannot last longer than 2 minutes during sex. The active ingredient is a drug belonging to the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) group of drugs. SSRI’s are also used in the treatment of depression but act slower than this medication, which is designed to give your body a burst of serotonin and then leave. It is possible to buy premature ejaculation tablets online in the UK from Pharmica on prescription with our private prescription service.
How do Premature Ejaculation Tablets work?
Premature ejaculation tablets delay the ejaculation reflex signal to your brain via the sympathetic nervous system, influencing the amount of the neurotransmitter serotonin that reaches the brain. It controls the serotonin breakdown in the body and the levels remain higher than normal to prevent early ejaculation.
How should I take Premature Ejaculation Tablets?
Premature ejaculation tablets come in two strengths:
The lower dose, 30mg, is recommended as a starting dose. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water about 1-3 hours before sex to reduce the chances of fainting. These tablets are not made to be taken every day, but rather on an 'on-demand' basis. It can be taken with or without food but do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours. This treatment starts to take effect about an hour after taking a tablet and can last up to four hours.

No. Both premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction medications lead to low blood pressure so when taken together, they can cause fainting, dizziness, and collapses. Also, do not take premature ejaculation pills with alcohol as it may slow your reactions, cause you to faint and be dizzy.
Are there any alternatives to this treatment?

- Psychological counselling
- Medical treatment
- Stud100 desensitising spray to temporarily numb sensation in the penis

You should take premature ejaculation tablets for at least 4 weeks (or at least 6 doses) to determine if this medication is effective for you. This is because some men experience improvements on the first dose, while others may need to use this medication a few times before they notice any changes.
