How does Kamagra Oral Jelly 100 mg Work

Sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient, is essentially a selective inhibitor of the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific PDE-5 enzyme. cGMP is required to cause proper blood flow in the penile muscles but the PDE-5 enzyme disintegrates it. Therefore, it becomes difficult to get or retain an erection. PDE-5 inhibitor drugs curb the activity of this enzyme and thus prevent the breakdown of cGMP. However, Kamagra only works in the presence of sexual stimulation. Because physiologically, the stimulation releases nitric oxide (NO) in the muscles lining the inner wall of the penis which activates the cGMP molecules. This results in vasodilation of the penile muscles and increases blood flow.

Uses of Kamagra Oral Jelly 100 mg

It is an effective medicine prescribed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence. It helps the consumer maintain a firm erection during sex.

Recommended Dosage

The usual suggested dose is 1 jelly per day, to be taken 30-60 minutes before having sexual intercourse. Just put it in your mouth and chew, it will dissolve. Unlike a tablet which you have to swallow with water. It should not be taken more than 4 hours before having sex because its effects will fade off by then. One may take it on an empty stomach or after having a meal. However, it works faster when taken without food. And if you must have food, take care that it should be low in fat content as fat reduces the efficacy of Kamagra. Know that the exact time of the medicine showing its effect will depend on the individual’s body metabolism and tolerance level. It generally remains effective for 4 to 6 hours.

If you intend to take it for an extended period, consulting a doctor is advisable so as to know the suitable dose. But in any case, more than 1 jelly per 24 hours should not be consumed.

Missed Dosage

If you take it only when needed, there are fewer chances of you missing a dose. But if it’s a regular prescription medicine for you and you have missed a dose, you take it as soon as you remember. However, if the next scheduled dose is very near, you should take only one and skip the other. In no circumstances should you take a double dose. You should consult your physician about this.
