Kamagra 100 mg tablet

How does it Work?

Kamagra 100mg contains the active ingredient sildenafil citrate. It belongs to a group of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.

During sexual arousal a molecule called nitric oxide (NO) is released within the penis. This increases levels of another molecule called the cGMP. cGMP causes the smooth muscles inside the penis to relax.

As a result, the blood vessels open wider allowing for blood to flow. It causes the corpus cavernosa (the spongy tissue in the penis responsible for erections) to swell. Thus, the penis becomes larger and stiff enough for sexual intercourse.

However, an enzyme called PDE5 breaks down cGMP molecules, ending the erection. PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil stop PDE5 from working too quickly. It prevents the cGMP breakdown. Hence, the action of nitric oxide is enhanced, promoting blood flow. This helps prolong the erection, making it firm enough for satisfactory intercourse.

Note that Kamagra itself directly does not cause an erection. It helps the male body respond better to sexual arousal by increasing blood flow into the penis. Sexual stimulation is still needed for Kamagra to work.

Uses

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED):

Difficulty getting or keeping an erection firm enough to have sex. The condition is also known as ‘impotence’. It prevents some men from having a satisfactory sexual performance.

• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH):

A type of high blood pressure in the arteries that carry blood to the lungs.

Recommended Dose

For erectile dysfunction, take one Kamagra 100mg pill about 1 hour before sex. Have it orally with a glass of water. Do not crush, split, break or chew the tablet. Do not take more than the recommended dose in 24 hours.

For pulmonary hypertension, take it as prescribed by your doctor.

Missed Dose

For erectile dysfunction, Kamagra 100 is taken as needed before sex. In that case, there is little chance of missing out on a dose.

For pulmonary hypertension, if you forget to take a prescribed dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is about time for your next dose, just leave out the missed dose. Then keep taking the next doses as usual.

Overdose

Kamagra needs to be used at the right dosage. Only then it can produce the desired results. Taking too much ED medication can lead to serious side effects. Talk to your doctor if there is an overdose.

Refrences

1. Is Kamagra 100mg safe?

   Kamagra 100mg is generally safe when taken as prescribed. However, it may cause side effects such as headache, drowsiness, stuffy nose, etc. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. If the side effects last long or get worse, notify your doctor at once.

   Never take 2 doses at the same time. Do not mix it with other medicines. Do not take an extra dose to make up for a forgotten one.

2. Will Kamagra make the penis bigger?

   Yes. The sildenafil citrate in Kamagra helps make erection firmer and fuller during arousal. It does so by relaxing smooth muscle cells and widening blood vessels. The erection becomes more rigid and suitable for intercourse. However, it does not permanently increase the size of the penis.

   Note that it does not cure ED. It doesn’t increase your sex drive either. It only works if you’re sexually aroused.

3. How long does Kamagra 100mg last?

   Take a dose of Kamagra 100mg between 30 minutes to 4 hours before sex. Its effects may last for up to 4 hours.

4. Can I take two Kamagra pills in one day?

   No. The recommended maximum dosage is once daily or as directed. Never take more than 100 mg of Kamagra in a 24-hour period.

5. Is it OK to drink alcohol and take Kamagra?

   Moderate drinking may be safe while taking sildenafil for ED. However, alcohol itself can make it hard to maintain an erection. And it increases the risk of side effects. So, avoid taking Kamagra 100mg pills along with alcohol.

   Do not take grapefruit juice or large, heavy meals with Kamagra.

6. Can I take Kamagra every day?

   Studies show that sildenafil can be safe for most men if taken once a day. However, it is prescribed based on the medical needs of the person. Also, not everyone has the same reaction to any given medication. When in doubt, consult with a healthcare provider. They may modify the dosage or frequency.

7. Can I take Kamagra 100mg once for fun?

   Some people may choose to try Kamagra to improve sexual performance, even when they don’t have ED. If you are taking Kamagra recreationally, you should learn about its possible serious side effects as well. You are advised to talk to a doctor before taking any ED medication.

8. Can women take Kamagra 100mg?

   Sildenafil (Kamagra) is not recommended for women because studies thus far have shown mixed results. This medication is meant for men having erectile dysfunction.

9. Does Kamagra 100mg tablet affect sperm?

   No. There is no clear evidence of sildenafil affecting sperm count. So taking Kamagra 100mg should not have an effect on fertility.

10. Why is Kamagra not working for me?

    Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Kamagra, works effectively for erectile dysfunction.

    If Kamagra 100mg is not working for you, it might be because:

    • You have taken Kamagra 100mg and instantly tried to have sex. You haven’t waited at least 30 minutes to one hour.
    • You have waited 4-6 hours after taking the medicine. The effects have worn off.
    • The dose is too low for you.
    • You haven’t become aroused from sexual stimulation.

11. Is Kamagra stronger than Viagra?

    Kamagra and Viagra both contain sildenafil citrate as the active ingredient. Hence, these medications work similarly. Sildenafil citrate is prescribed to help increase blood flow to the penis to treat erectile dysfunction.
