Kamagra is a generic Sildenafil citrate drug used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, and male impotence which is generally referred to as erectile dysfunction. It is also useful in treating altitude sickness like other PDE5 inhibitors. Nevertheless, it is mainly perceived as a medicine to treat erectile dysfunction.

Sildenafil is also contraindicated for severely impaired liver, those who have recently had cardiac attack, impairment in renal functioning, hypotension and stroke.

Sildenafil is also tested to have adverse contraindications like hereditary deteriorating retinal disorder including the retinal phosphodiesterases.

Side Effects of Kamagra
The common side effects that Kamagra can have are the same as other sildenafil drugs have. Most of them are mild in nature and fade away in an hour or so. But it’s important that you discussed the possible side effects with your doctor particularly if you have an ailment or two and are on medication. The side effects of Kamagra include indigestion, minor headaches, a running or blocked nose, flushing of the face, nausea, light sensitivity, blurred and/or bluish vision. In rare cases, complete vision impairment is also possible.

Other serious but rare side effects include severe hypotension, priapism (a condition in which the penis remains erect continually and associated with chronic pain but seldom with sexual urge), ventricular arrhythmias (abnormal contraction of cardiac muscles), myocardial infarction (severe heart attack), stroke, sudden loss of hearing and increase in intraocular pressure.

The drug can boost sexual urge and provide enhanced stamina to those who take it even when they aren’t suffering from ED but the side effects and their severity they might undergo still remain the same.

Drug Interactions
The interaction of other drugs with Sildenafil alters the way it is metabolized in the body and eventually increasing the occurrence and severity of side effects due to the boost the multiplication of plasma levels get.

One major medicine that is indicated to have severe interaction with Sildenafil belongs to protease inhibitors’ group which is used in the treatment of HIV. So, it is not advisable for those patients taking them to use more than 25 mg of Sildenafil (Kamagra in this case) in a span of 48 hours. Also, conjugant use of alpha blockers and Kamagra can abruptly lower the blood pressure levels to new lows (hypotension) but this can be avoided if the consumption of these two drugs are spaced apart by 4 hours.

Kamagra is an approved generic equivalent of brand Viagra right from its active ingredient and excipients and thus both benefits and side effects are certified to be same. However, Kamagra shouldn’t be taken as an aphrodisiac, meaning that it isn’t going to give anyone an erection if one isn’t himself aroused sexually.
