About premature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual problems men experience, and effective help is available.

Your pharmacist can talk through practical techniques and, where suitable, prescription treatment.

Treatment options

Behavioural techniques

Methods such as the stop-start and squeeze techniques help many men and can be used alongside other treatment.

Dapoxetine

A prescription tablet used to treat premature ejaculation in men aged 18 to 64. It is taken one to three hours before sex, when needed.

Desensitising sprays and creams

Local anaesthetic products that reduce sensitivity, applied shortly before sex.

Seeing your GP or a specialist

Recommended if the problem is linked to another condition or has a significant impact on your relationships.

This is general information about the options available. Your pharmacist will advise which option, if any, is suitable for you after your consultation.

Who it is for

  • Men aged 18 to 64 experiencing premature ejaculation
  • People looking for discreet support without a GP appointment
  • Suitability is checked by a pharmacist

How it works

  1. Book online and complete the confidential pre-screen
  2. Speak to a pharmacist in private
  3. Receive advice and treatment if suitable

Good to know

  • Treatment is not suitable with certain heart conditions or medicines.
  • Avoid alcohol with treatment, as it can increase side effects such as dizziness.
  • All consultations are completely confidential.

Related services

Private services involve a consultation with a pharmacist. Treatment is only supplied where it is safe and clinically appropriate, and not everyone will be suitable. Fees apply and are shown when you book. If you feel very unwell, call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency.
