How Kamagra Works

Erectile dysfunction is a problem that a number of men encounter. There are a number of reasons for a man not to be able to achieve penile erection. A number of causes can trigger erectile dysfunction. Some of them include being overweight, having diabetes, medication to treat an illness, smoking, and being a heavy drinker.

Fortunately, there are several products available in the market, physical and online, that helps improve this medical condition. One of these products is called Kamagra.

Kamagra comes in several kinds that cater to a wide range of men needing the product. The product is available as a tablet, soft tablets, oral jelly, or as a soluble tablet that you dissolve in a glass of water to drink. The main active ingredient in this product is something called sildenafil citrate.

Sildenafil citrate, the same active ingredient in Viagra, was initially used to treat problems in the pulmonary artery. However, when the chemists who produced this tested it on subjects, they saw that there was also an increase in erection in the subjects. Pfizer, the pharmaceutical enterprise, decided to market it as a drug to treat men’s problem instead.

The way sildenafil citrate works is it blocks the enzyme called phosphodiesterase 5. This enzyme is the cause of limited blood flow to the penis. Sildenafil citrate, once absorbed into the blood, relaxes the muscles in the penis thus allowing proper blood flow to happen. Once the penis muscles are relaxed, and with proper sexual stimulation and arousing, a man can finally achieve penile erection assisted by Kamagra.

Different people experience different effects of the drug. And the effects can be felt at different times. The medicine usually takes effect around half an hour after taking the drug. And depending on the form of the medicine you take, the time it takes for it to take effect may be shorter. However, all effects of the drug normally last up to four hours so there is no need to rush the process of lovemaking.

Because of the worldwide acclaim that the drug received, a number of people have used it for different purposes. There are some athletes who used it because they believed that the medicine helps in their sports performance because of the more opened blood vessels that are created when taking the drug. There is another study that mentioned that this drug actually helped in battling jet lag, though that is not really tested on humans. These uses may actually be true considering sexual stimulation is needed for the drug to take effect against erectile dysfunction.
