Premature ejaculation (PE) treatment is far more affordable than most men expect. Unlike chronic conditions requiring expensive ongoing medication, PE treatment — particularly with on-demand dapoxetine — costs only when you use it. Here's what to budget.

Medication Costs (HKD)

Cost Per Use |
Approx. Monthly Cost |
| Dapoxetine 30 mg (on-demand) |

HK$400–800 (2× per week) |
| Dapoxetine 60 mg (on-demand) |

Key insight: Because dapoxetine is on-demand, you only pay when you use it. A man having sex twice per week might spend HK$400–800/month, while someone using it once per week would spend half that.

Treatment Timeline: What to Expect
Week 1: Getting Started
- Complete health assessment and doctor consultation
- Receive your first prescription (typically dapoxetine 30 mg)
- Medication delivered within 2–5 business days(Based on clinical guidelines and prescribing information)
- First use: Most men notice improvement from the very first dose (Li J et al. Clin Ther. 2014;36(12):2003-2014. PMID: 25438723)
Weeks 2–4: Finding Your Rhythm
- Use dapoxetine before sexual activity as directed
- Track your response: timing, control, satisfaction
- Side effects (if any) typically settle within this period
- First follow-up with your noah™ doctor
Month 2–3: Optimisation
- Doctor may adjust dose (30 mg → 60 mg) if needed
- Performance anxiety often begins to decrease as confidence builds
- You may start experimenting with behavioural techniques alongside medication
- Many men find their optimal routine during this period
Months 3–6: Consolidation
- Treatment effects are well-established
- Some men begin using medication less frequently as confidence grows
- Behavioural changes (better awareness, relaxation) may reduce reliance on medication
- Periodic check-in with your doctor
6 Months and Beyond
- Some men continue using dapoxetine on-demand indefinitely — this is safe and effective
- Some men reduce frequency as they develop greater control
- Some men stop medication, finding that behavioural changes are sufficient
- Your noah™ doctor supports whichever path works for you

- A single dinner out: HK$300–800
- ED medication (PDE5 inhibitors): similar or higher cost per use(Based on clinical guidelines and prescribing information)
Insurance Coverage
- Private insurance: Most Hong Kong medical insurance plans do not cover PE treatment specifically(Based on clinical guidelines and prescribing information)
- General outpatient coverage: Some plans cover GP consultations that may include PE discussion
- Hospital Authority: Public system does not routinely treat PE(Based on clinical guidelines and prescribing information)
Value Beyond Cost
The true cost of untreated PE is far greater than medication:
- Relationship impact: PE is a leading cause of sexual dissatisfaction and relationship strain(Based on clinical guidelines and prescribing information)
- Mental health: Untreated PE is associated with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem (Saitz TR, Serefoglu EC. Transl Androl Urol. 2016;5(4):409-415. PMID: 27652213)
- Avoidance behaviour: Some men avoid intimate relationships entirely
- Lost quality of life: Years of unnecessary distress
Effective treatment typically costs less than HK$1,000/month — a small investment for a significant improvement in quality of life.
