Description
How does it Work?
Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Kamagra Oral Jelly, belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which breaks down a substance called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). By preventing the breakdown of cGMP, sildenafil allows increased blood flow into the penis during sexual stimulation. This facilitates a firm erection.
Kamagra Oral Jelly itself does not cause an erection directly. It enhances the natural erectile response by increasing blood flow to the penis when aroused. Sexual stimulation is required for the medication to be effective.
Uses
- Erectile dysfunction (ED): A condition characterized by the inability to achieve and maintain an erection.
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH): It is a condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs.
Recommended Dose
The recommended dose of Kamagra Oral Jelly is one sachet (containing 100mg of sildenafil citrate) taken orally approximately 15-30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. It is essential to avoid consuming heavy meals before taking Kamagra Oral Jelly, as this may delay its onset of action.
The effects usually last for about 4 to 6 hours, during which time you may experience improved erectile function in response to sexual stimulation. Do not exceed the recommended dosage within a 24-hour window.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, you can take it as soon as you remember. Unless it is time for your next scheduled dose, in that case skip the missed dose. Do not double dose to compensate for a missed dose.
