What is the most important information I should know about Kamagra?
Do not take Kamagra if you are also using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems. This includes nitroglycerin (Nitrostat, Nitrolingual, Nitro-Dur, Nitro-Bid, and others), isosorbide dinitrate (Dilatrate-SR, Isordil, Sorbitrate), and isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur, ISMO, Monoket). Nitrates are also found in some recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite (“poppers”). Taking Kamagra with a nitrate medicine can cause a serious decrease in blood pressure, leading to fainting, stroke, or heart attack.
If you become dizzy or nauseated, or have pain, numbness, or tingling in your chest, arms, neck, or jaw during sexual activity, stop and call your doctor right away. You could be having a serious side effect of Kamagra.
Do not take Kamagra more than once a day. Allow 24 hours to pass between doses.
Contact your doctor or seek emergency medical attention if your erection is painful or lasts longer than 4 hours. A prolonged erection (priapism) can damage the penis.
A small number of patients have had a sudden loss of eyesight after taking Kamagra. This type of vision loss is caused by decreased blood flow to the optic nerve of the eye. It is not clear whether Kamagra is the actual cause of such vision loss. Sudden vision loss with Kamagra use has occurred most often in people with heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or certain pre-existing eye problems, and in those who smoke or are over 50 years old.
Stop using Kamagra and get emergency medical help if you have sudden vision loss.
What is Kamagra?
Kamagra relaxes muscles and increases blood flow to particular areas of the body.
Kamagra is used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. Another brand of Kamagra is Revatio, which is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension and improve exercise capacity in men and women.
Kamagra may also be used for purposes other than those listed here.

How should I take Kamagra?
Take Kamagra exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take it in larger doses or for longer than recommended by your doctor.
Revatio is usually taken three times each day, about 4 to 6 hours apart.
Viagra is usually taken only when needed, 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity. You may take it up to 4 hours before sexual activity. Do not take Viagra more than once per day.
Viagra can help you have an erection when sexual stimulation occurs. An erection will not occur just by taking a pill. Follow your doctor's instructions.
If you become dizzy or nauseated, or have pain, numbness, or tingling in your chest, arms, neck, or jaw during sexual activity, stop and call your doctor right away. You could be having a serious side effect of Kamagra.
Store this medication at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Viagra is used as needed, so you are not likely to miss a dose.
If you miss a dose of Revatio, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at the next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. Symptoms of a Kamagra overdose may include chest pain, nausea, irregular heartbeat, and feeling light-headed or fainting.
What should I avoid while taking Kamagra?
Avoid drinking alcohol, which can increase some of the side effects of Kamagra.
Avoid using other medicines to treat impotence, such as alprostadil (Caverject, Muse, Edex) or yohimbine (Yocon, Yodoxin, others), without first talking to your doctor.
