Sertraline is being touted as a potential cure for premature ejaculation in the UK. Male sexual wellness clinics and health businesses are offering so-called “off-label” prescriptions, claiming performance-enhancing abilities. One business that advertises sertraline to British men suffering from PE claimed the drug can help extend the time to climax during sex by 400%.
Clinicians who prescribe men sertraline for PE usually recommend they begin with a daily dose for four to six weeks; later, they are advised to move to an “on-demand” setup, where they take the pill a few hours before intercourse. Medical professionals said while some medics recommend men with PE take a dose of sertraline every day, this carries risks. “Some clinicians give SSRI’s daily to treat premature ejaculation which is something I do not support as it makes them susceptible to all the side effects of prolonged SSRI use,” one doctor said.
