What makes Kamagra different from Viagra?
Generic Kamagra is a copy of Viagra, so it has exactly the same pharmacological effect, providing improved potency. The composition contains the same active substance – Sildenafil citrate. This component supports the effect of nitric oxide, which is released during sexual excitement. This allows you to achieve high-quality relaxation of the smooth muscles of the penis and contributes to the rapid filling of the cavernous bodies with blood, which ensures the development of a firm erection. Exipients may vary, but they do not influence the drug effectiveness.
Using this generic product to restore erection, a man gets a result identical to Viagra for less money. This is due to the fact that when creating Viagra, Pfizer spent fabulous funds to develop a unique formula, conduct laboratory tests, patent, hold a marketing campaign to promote the product on the pharmaceutical market. Generic manufacturers are saving at these stages by creating a cheaper product. This does not mean that analogs are worse and ineffective. No, on the contrary, in the production of more modern generics, the best raw materials are used, since the requirements for the quality of pharmaceuticals are constantly rising up. In addition, copies of Viagra are also subjected to laboratory tests, and the manufacture of tablets at each stage of the technological process is controlled and confirmed by WHO certificates.
The difference between Viagra and Kamagra lies only in the cost of the finished product. In addition, if the original drug is produced exclusively in the form of classic tablets, then generics are available in various forms – regular tablets in a wide range of dosages, soft tablets or jelly. This allows you to choose the best option based on personal preference or situation.
Dosage Guideline
To avoid complications, use strictly as directed by healthcare professional. Kamagra should be taken as needed approximately one hour before the planned sexual intercourse. The recommended dose of the drug is 50 mg and is taken before meals. The maximum recommended dose of the drug is 100 mg. The maximum recommended frequency of drug intake is 1 time per day.
Can I increse the dosage without doctor’s recommendations if the result is insufficient?
Based on the drug’s effectiveness and tolerability, its dose can be increased to 100 mg or reduced to 25 mg. But better to consult a healthcare professional before increasing the dose as it may provoke severe side effects.
Composition
One tablet contains active substance – sildenafil citrate 70.250 / 140.500 mg equivalent to sildenafil 50/100 mg.
Excipients are:
- sodium starch glycolate (type A);

- shell: hypromellose, Instacoat Sol IC-S-3788 (green) 1, titanium dioxide (E 171).
Mode of application
This drug is taken one hour before tha planned sexual intercourse. Nitric oxide activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase, which contributes to increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), relaxation of the smooth muscles of the corpus cavernosum, and increased blood flow in the penis. With sexual arousal, the local release of NO under the influence of sildenafil leads to inhibition of PDE5 and an increase in the level of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in relaxation of smooth muscles and increased blood flow in the corpus cavernosum. The use of sildenafil at the recommended doses is ineffective in the absence of sexual stimulation.

So if you decide to buy this jelly form, the effect starts within 10-15 minutes. You can take the drug when it is convenient for you, without looking for the perfect moment.
