Online price: $1 / 100 mg
The action of the drug is based on sildenafil, which is also the active ingredient of Viagra. Twenty years after the appearance, sildenafil remains the method of choice in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and restores the life quality of men.
The differences between Viagra and Kamagra are insignificant because of the drugs based on the same formula. At the same time, Kamagra is considerably cheaper, as buyers do not have to pay extra for the development process and a commercial advertising campaign for the Pfizer brand.
Dosing and administration
Kamagra is made in the form of tablets. Each tablet has a greenish shell and rhombus shape. Depending on the dosage, the tablets may be composed of 25-100 mg of sildenafil. The daily intake of the drug should not exceed 100 mg.
Pharmacokinetics
The treatment of erectile dysfunction with PDE5 inhibitors, which includes Kamagra, is recommended by medical authorities in many countries, in particular, the European Association of Urology (recommended level 1a, 2017 EAU recommendations). The fact is that medications of this group interfere with the uptake and subsequent splitting of the substance, which is responsible for the blood filling of the corpora cavernosa and erection itself. Thus, PDE5 inhibitors provide the erectile activity of the penis, which is possible only after sexual stimulation.
Contraindications
Kamagra is contraindicated in the cases of leukemia, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and gastric and intestinal ulcers, severe diseases of the cardiovascular system, hypersensitivity to sildenafil citrate and/or other components of the drug etc.
You can find out the complete list of contraindications and recommendations in the instructions for the medicine or during the consultation with your doctor.
