Kamagra Oral Jelly is the generic form of the main active ingredient (Sildenafil citrate) that is found in the more expensive Viagra. When Viagra entered the market, it was hailed as one of the most effective drugs used to treat male erectile dysfunction (ED). ED has many different causes, age related causes are common with an increased incidence of about 70% in men above 60 years. However ED is also associated with many medical conditions such as diabetes, stress, traumatic neurological conditions, surgical post- operative pelvis complications and even excessive smoking which could occur in much younger men, hence the popularity and increase in the use of Kamagra Oral Jelly among younger men.
The costs of manufacturing newly patented branded drugs such as Viagra are usually very high and once the patency runs out (mostly after about 10 years), other manufacturers are able to make similar drugs using the same active ingredients but at a much lower cost for consumers.

This is how Kamagra Oral Jelly came into existence in the late nineties. The drug manufacturers – Avanta Pharma in India took the opportunity to create a low cost generic version of Viagra with the same active ingredient (Sildenafil citrate) that is found in Viagra and they manufactured it in different formats. The common formats for Kamagra are:
- Tablet forms, hard, soft, effervescent, and flavored.
- Kamagra Oral Jelly – also fruit flavored, some of the common flavors are orange, pineapple, mint, and strawberry.
Kamagra Oral Jelly comes in sachets of 100 mg of the active ingredient, Sildenafil citrate.
Sildenafil, works as a PDE (phosphodiesterase) inhibitor that helps penile erection by enabling vasodilation causing a temporary increase in blood flow to the spongy tissue of the penis during sexual stimulation. For the gel to work properly there must be initial sexual stimulation.
Kamagra is available in Australia, it does not require a prescription and can be bought online from many pharmaceutical websites. Most suppliers deliver Kamagra Oral Jelly Jelly within 5-10 days in discreet packaging of 100 mg sachets. Doses taken by users can range from 25mg (those with medical conditions) to a maximum of 100 mg a day. Older men are advised to take half a sachet, 50 mg daily.
It should be taken about 45 minutes to 1 hr before sexual activity and with a glass of water where possible. It is good to avoid dehydration and to get the best results, ensure the body is well hydrated. Dehydration can cause toxic accumulation of the active ingredient in the body.

The oral jelly form of Kamagra is usually preferred by those who want to avoid tablets. It is absorbed into the body much faster than the tablet form and effects can be seen as early as 20 minutes after taking the gel. The effects remain in the bloodstream for up to 6 hours and in some cases up to 24 hours.
Due to its effective vasodilatory effect, users are advised to exercise caution when taking the oral jelly and not to exceed a daily dose of 100mg.
Caution
There are some users who need to be more careful with Kamagra Oral Jelly and possibly only take it on advice of their physicians. They include:
• Patients who have had strokes, or cardiovascular problems.
• Patients taking protease inhibitors for HIV. These protease inhibitors can interact adversely with Kamagra Oral Jelly and cause higher than normal blood levels of Sildenafi (the main active ingredient) leading to dangerous side effects.
• Older users (above 70) especially those with liver disease should take lower doses, as the drug may not be metabolised quickly enough by the liver thereby leading to toxicity in the blood, especially when taken daily.
• Users with visual problems. Kamagra has been associated with loss of vision in some users especially those with retinal problems.
• Some antibiotics can also slow down the efficiency of Kamagra Oral Jelly. Also those taking oral hypoglycemic drugs for diabetes mellitus, nitrates for angina, and beta blockers need to get proper advice from their physicians. Fatty meals, alcohol and grapefruit juice should also be avoided within hours of taking Kamagra Oral Jelly.
