Drug name
Kamagra (Sildenafil)
Drug Uses
Kamagra is a solution for treatment of male erectile dysfunction.
How Taken
For most men, the recommended dose is 50 mg, taken as needed, approximately 1 hour before sexual activity. Based on effectiveness and tolerance, the dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 100 mg, or decreased to 25 mg.
Kamagra is rapidly absorbed. Maximum effect occurs between 30 to 120 minutes of taking the tablet.
Drug Class and Mechanism
Kamagra increases blood flow to the penis, allowing more blood flow into the penis, like happened naturally, when a man is sexually stimulated. With more blood flowing in and less flowing out, the arteries in the penis enlarge, resulting in an erection.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. Do not take 2 doses at a time.
Storage
Kamagra should be stored at room temperature, 15-30 degrees C (59-86 degrees F).
