Erectile Dysfunction (ED) can be a difficult subject to address for many men. But ED is much more common than people think. It affects one in five British men. And while it’s more common in men over 40, a survey conducted by Atomik Research shows that over half of men in their thirties, are struggling in the bedroom.
Thankfully, there are plenty of effective treatments for ED. All it takes is a short conversation with your GP or pharmacist, and they may well be able to help you find the right solution.
The problem is that only 33% of men who suffer from ED, actively seek help. Many wish to avoid talking about it, and instead, buy ED medication online. Whilst online pharmacies have increased ease of access, there are many sites across the internet selling non-regulated drugs, which pose a danger to public health and safety.
In recent years, one increasingly popular ED treatment has been Kamagra. Users can buy Kamagra tablets and oral jellies online for cheap, without a prescription, with many sellers promising next day delivery.
Unfortunately, very few people actually know what Kamagra is. They don’t know what’s in Kamagra, if it’s safe to take, or if it’s even legal to buy in the UK.
Kamagra claims to be an ED treatment similar to Viagra. It is manufactured by an Indian company called Ajanta Pharma Ltd. According to the manufacturer, the active ingredient in Kamagra is sildenafil citrate (the same active ingredient in Viagra). However, as Kamagra is not regulated or licensed in the UK, this cannot be verified.
It is available as a tablet, an effervescent tablet, or an oral jelly, and is popular due to its low price and how easy it is to buy.
Taking prescription medication without consulting a doctor or pharmacist can pose a significant risk to your health. It is not necessary, given how easy it is to access ED treatments.
Kamagra doesn’t have to be taken as a tablet. It also comes in pouches as a flavoured oral jelly.
Kamagra oral jelly dissolves in the mouth, so there is no need to take it with water. It is easy to swallow, and since it is absorbed quicker into the bloodstream, it produces a faster response. Kamagra oral jelly claims to give an erection in as little as 10 minutes. This faster acting method of sildenafil could pose a health threat, as it can cause a rapid drop in blood pressure – This is one of the reasons that liquid Viagra or Viagra gel is not available on the market. Each pouch is thought to contain 20-100mg of sildenafil citrate.
Kamagra oral jellies come in many flavours, including chocolate, vanilla, mint, banana, orange, and strawberry.
Kamagra tablets contain one active ingredient, sildenafil citrate; however, Super Kamagra (also called Super Kamagra 160) has two ingredients. Each tablet alleges to contain 100mg of sildenafil citrate, as well as 60mg of dapoxetine.
Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), a commonly prescribed antidepressant. It is also used to treat premature ejaculation.
According to the manufacturer, Ajanta Pharma Ltd., the combination of drugs allows you to have sex for longer. But because both drugs can cause a drop in blood pressure, taking them together is not advised. It can lead to dizziness, fainting, and other harmful side effects.
According to its manufacturer, Kamagra contains sildenafil citrate. This is the same active ingredient as Viagra.
During sexual stimulation, sildenafil helps to relax blood vessels in the penis, allowing them to fill with blood. This helps to achieve and maintain an erection.
No, it is dangerous to buy or consume Kamagra for the following reasons:
Thankfully, there are low-cost alternatives to Kamagra which you can purchase legally, from a registered pharmacy. A box of Kamagra typically costs around £5-£7. This is similar in price to medication which is safe and regulated.
*Sildenafil is a like-for-like legal alternative to Kamagra. It is safely used to treat ED by millions of men worldwide.

Kamagra is banned in the UK, and buying it online is unsafe. The precise ingredients are unknown, raising concerns about potential contamination with substances that are not fit for consumption.
Fortunately, the availability of safer alternatives eliminates the need to buy Kamagra online, for the purpose of saving money. Trustworthy and regulated suppliers offer safer alternatives, which have high success rates and pose fewer unknown health risks.
