We will start with some important points that you need to know about sildenafil, some of these points will be discussed in more detail later in this article. Important to know about sildenafil:
- Sildenafil widens the blood vessels so that blood can flow through them better

The History of Sildenafil
Sildenafil was originally developed to treat angina pectoris, a condition in which the heart muscle does not receive enough blood and causes narrowing of the coronary arteries. The drug was developed by manufacturer Pfizer and is recognized as a medicine. In 1989, sildenafil was patented by Viagra and not long after it was approved by the FDA as an erectile dysfunction drug on the American market.
The drug Sildenafil became a huge success, both on the American market and in the rest of the world. The patent of Viagra expired in the Netherlands on June 21, 2013 and since then cheaper brands have come onto the market, including Kamagra. Kamagra is cheaper than Viagra and is available through our webshop.
What exactly is Sildenafil?
Sildenafil is a drug that is sold under various brand names, including Kamagra. The drug is used by men who have difficulty or no ability to get an erection. Using Sildenafil stimulates getting an erection. The drug is also used to get long-lasting erections. Sildenafil is available in both pill and liquid form and should be taken orally.
In addition to erectile dysfunction, sildenafil is used for people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and sometimes for Raynaud's Phenomenon.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension
In pulmonary arterial hypertension, there is an abnormally high blood pressure in the pulmonary vessels, which can affect the heart function. The blood can no longer be pumped around properly and this can result in shortness of breath.
Sildenafil works effectively because it widens the blood vessels and this lowers the blood pressure. As a result, the heart does not have to work as hard and the symptoms are reduced.
Raynaud's phenomenon
In Raynaud's phenomenon, the blood vessels cramp when it is cold, for example, resulting in cold fingers, cold toes and a pale, red or blue color. Sildenafil ensures that the blood vessels dilate and that the blood can flow better. However, the effect of sildenafil on Raynaud's phenomenon has never been proven.
How Sildenafil Works
After taking Sildenafil orally, it takes about 15 to 30 minutes for the drug to start working. In general, the liquid version works faster. The drug is absorbed directly through the mucous membranes of the mouth, instead of ending up in the stomach in one piece.
In men who have problems getting an erection, the blood vessels of the penis do not relax. As a result, the corpora cavernosa, located in the blood vessels of the penis, do not fill with blood. As soon as the substance Sildenafil starts working and sexual arousal occurs, the corpora cavernosa start to fill with blood and an erection occurs.
The Benefits of Sildenafil
Sildenafil is considered the solution for men with erectile dysfunction or for men who want to get a long-lasting erection. It helps men (and indirectly women) to improve their sex life, because men are able to get an erection again, which they were not able to do before.
Another advantage is that Sildenafil is relatively cheap to obtain. Brands such as Kamagra-Jelly in particular offer Sildenafil in pill form and liquid very cheaply. While the quality, compared to the more expensive brands such as Viagra, remains the same. The fact that the drug works quite quickly is also seen as an advantage. As mentioned earlier, it only takes 15 to 30 minutes after taking it before the drug starts working.
In short, this comes down to the following benefits of Sildenafil:
- The solution for men with an erection problem
- Available at a reasonable price
- Quality is equal to viagra
- Only 15 to 30 minutes of processing time
The disadvantages of Sildenafil
The drug Sildenafil also has disadvantages. For example, there is a small chance of side effects, which we will tell you more about later. Another disadvantage is that there are many counterfeit Sildenafil products on the market. These counterfeit manufacturers sell these products under the name of a reliable manufacturer, such as Viagra and Kamagra. So you have been warned. These counterfeit products usually do not meet the strict Western rules that we know about the sale of medicines, which can make them dangerous. Also, these intimations of Sildenafil often do not even work.
There is one advantage, however. Through our webshop you can only buy the real version of Kamagra. This means you can safely order and use the drug without having to worry about whether the drug is real.
In summary, Sildenafil has the following disadvantages:
- Small chance of side effects
- Many counterfeit products
Side effects of Sildenafil
In extreme cases, side effects may occur after using Sildenafil. The chance is small, but it is there. That is why we recommend that you always read the enclosed leaflet carefully before you start using it. The most common side effects are rash and other allergic reactions. Other side effects include: palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain or high blood pressure.
The following side effects may occur:
Sometimes
- Headache, (rarely) flushing and hot flashes. Often occurs at higher doses than at lower doses. These side effects often pass once you get used to the drug.
- Gastrointestinal complaints such as diarrhea and (rarely) digestive disorders.
Very rarely
- Eye complaints such as blurred vision, painful and red eyes, double vision. If these complaints occur, you should always consult a doctor or physician. Occurs almost exclusively with a high dosage.
- Back pain and/or muscle pain
- Dizziness due to the drop in blood pressure
- Stuffy nose
When used as erectile dysfunction drugs, the following side effects may occur very rarely. Only if the drug is used irresponsibly.
- Heart cramp, heart attack or stroke. However, this has only occurred with irresponsible use, for example by men with a bad heart, over sixty years old and (too) high blood pressure.
If the side effects of Sildenafil last too long or are too severe, the doctor should be consulted. The doctor has the knowledge to assess the situation better. If the drug Sildenafil does not seem to work, it is not recommended to take an extra dose of Sildenafil.
Sildenafil in combination with
Driving a car
Driving is normally not a problem, however if you experience any of the above side effects you should stop driving. It may happen that you experience dizziness or poor eyesight, in which case it is logically irresponsible to participate in traffic.
Alcohol
Alcohol makes it harder to get an erection, so sildenafil in combination with alcohol can make you want to use more erectile dysfunction drugs. This can lead to irresponsible use, so be on your guard.
In addition, alcohol is a substance that dilates blood vessels, which means you may experience possible side effects more quickly.
To eat
If you eat before or after taking erectile dysfunction drugs, it may take longer for the effect to kick in. Be aware of this so that you do not take more erectile dysfunction drugs than is responsible.
Pregnancy
Use sildenafil or erectile dysfunction drugs NOT during pregnancy or if you are trying to get pregnant. If you are using sildenafil as a medicine while you are trying to get pregnant or are already pregnant, always inform your doctor or physician.
If you want to breastfeed, you should first consult your doctor or physician.
