What is Vriligy 60 

Vriligy tablets are used to treat Premature Ejaculation in men. 

Dapoxetine is the active ingredient in Vriligy 60 mg, which helps treat Premature Ejaculation (PE) in adult men aged 18 to 64.

It postpones ejaculation and enhances ejaculatory control during sexual activity.

This prescription-only drug can be purchased only on the recommendation of the doctor.

Uses of Vriligy 60

Dapoxetine is the primary component in the Vriligy Tablets, which is well-known for treating Premature Ejaculation. 

Premature Ejaculation is one of men's most common causes of sexual dysfunction. It is the condition of ejaculating too quickly with minimal sexual stimulation before it is desired. 

It is the most frequent sexual disorder. Treatment options exist for Premature Ejaculation. 

Medications and counseling that delay ejaculation can all help you and your partner to have a better sexual experience.

Dapoxetine can be combined with Sildenafil to treat both Premature Ejaculation as well as Erectile Dysfunction.

How does Vriligy 60 work 

Men with lower levels of brain chemical Serotonin typically ejaculate more quickly. 

Dapoxetine, the main ingredient of Vriligy-60 mg, is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) that prevents the reabsorption (reuptake) of Serotonin into neurons.

By blocking the reabsorption, it makes more Serotonin available to improve the transmission of messages between neurons and allows nerve cells to communicate with each other for longer.

This action of Dapoxetine in Vriligy 60 improves ejaculatory control and delays ejaculation during the sexual engagement.
