What is Kamagra Oral Jelly?

Kamagra Oral Jelly is a medication sold to treat erectile dysfunction and boost sexual performance. It comes in the form of a jelly that dissolves in your mouth. It comes in the form of a dissolvable jelly in a sachet. According to the manufacturer, Ajanta Pharma, each sachet contains 100mg of sildenafil citrate, which is the same active ingredient used in erectile dysfunction treatments like Viagra and Viagra Connect. Kamagra Oral Jelly is not approved for use in the UK, so it is illegal to buy or sell this medication.

Is it legal to buy Kamagra in the UK?

No, Super Kamagra and Kamagra Oral Jelly are not approved as a drug in the UK or EU, so buying it is illegal.

Even if the price and effects appear attractive, the risks of using an unlicensed medication are not worth it. You can’t be certain what the substances will contain or whether it’s been safely produced. Buying illegal medication is an entirely unnecessary risk, especially when safe, legal treatments are readily available and nearly the same price.

Always get your medication from providers recognised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) like ZAVA. This ensures that the medication is safe and actually contains what is listed in the ingredients.

Is Kamagra safe?

"Using unlicensed Erectile treatments is not only risky but can have a long term negative impact on the user due to the dosage and potential impurities in the substance" – Dr Brenda Ikeji, Medical Editor

No, Kamagra is not safe. You should not buy or take Kamagra Oral Jelly due to:

Health risks

Due to the lack of medical safety tests, taking Kamagra Jelly could pose a significant health risk. The ingredients and dosages may be different from what the manufacturer states, meaning you could be taking sildenafil or another, unregulated substance.

Criminal risk

Kamagra Oral Jelly is not approved for use in the UK. This means buying or selling it is illegal, and could lead to a fine or even prosecution.

Side effects

There is an increased risk of side effects from Kamagra because it is said to contain 100mg of sildenafil, which is the maximum dosage per day .

This dosage is usually only prescribed for severe erectile dysfunction. Normally, a doctor would start you on a lower dose to see how your body reacts to the medication or if you get any side effects. They would then adjust the dosage accordingly to your needs.

Kamagra can cause side effects like:

  • dizziness
  • headaches
  • nasal congestion
  • stomach problems
  • feeling of fullness
  • vision problems.

Taking too much sildenafil if you have certain health conditions or combining it with other medications can lead to a drop in blood pressure. This is especially the case if you take nitrates for a heart condition. This is why it is important you speak to your doctor before ever taking any medication.

Impurities and unknown ingredients

There is a chance that Super Kamagra and Kamagra Oral Jelly could be contaminated by foreign substances, which can be harmful to your health. This is because India, where it is manufactured, is not subject to the same hygiene regulations and controls as in the UK.

There is also no way to be sure that the concentration of the active ingredient matches what is stated by the manufacturer. This means you could potentially be taking a dangerous amount of sildenafil without realising it.

Lack of specialist medical advice

Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a range of other health conditions, some of which are very serious.

Without seeing your doctor about erectile dysfunction, what’s causing it might be missed. There could be another condition that could be treated that would fix your erectile dysfunction, if treated. There are also some conditions that can cause erectile dysfunction, which erectile dysfunction medication alone can’t treat. If this is the case, no amount will help, but a doctor may be able to recommend something that will.

Other medications and conditions can also affect how sildenafil works and how it impacts your body. When you get a prescription for a legal erectile dysfunction treatment, your doctor makes sure it is suitable if you’re currently taking any medication or have any conditions that could be harmful to you. When you order an illegal medication like Kamagra, these checks do not happen, and you could be putting your health at risk.

Does Kamagra work for women?

Sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient in Kamagra, is not approved for treating women. This is because, as with female Viagra, there is currently no clear evidence that shows Sildenafil boosts women’s sex drive. This means Kamagra is unlikely to work for women.

The manufacturer, Ajanta Pharma, offers a medication for women called Lovegra. If the manufacturer's information is correct, it also contains sildenafil, so is unlikely to work for women. Like Kamagra, Lovegra is not approved as a medicinal product in the UK, so buying or selling it is illegal.

Is purchasing medicines from another country a punishable offence?

Yes, purchasing medicines from another country that have not been prescribed to you is a criminal offence, even for personal use. You could be fined or face prosecution.

Conclusion

Kamagra is an illegal and unlicensed treatment for erectile dysfunction containing the active ingredient sildenafil. Buying and selling it is a criminal offence and can be punished with a fine and, in some cases, imprisonment.

Taking either Super Kamagra or Kamagra Oral Jelly can be harmful, as it is often done without medical advice. The ingredients and their dosages are not verified nor approved by appropriate medical bodies, which means you don’t know what you might be taking.

If you have erectile dysfunction, it is safer to take treatments approved in the UK that have been prescribed to you by a doctor. There is no need for a face-to-face consultation, all consultations with our online doctors can be done remotely and confidentially via your patient account.
