About drug salt

It was the first drug of this category invented to cure male impotence problem. It works by deactivating an enzyme present in our body called PDE5 or phosphodiesterase - 5. By inhibiting this enzyme, it can cause a long and lasting erection in men. It is a very strong drug, which means even a small dose is enough to induce an erection.

Medicinal use of the drug

It is used to treat the following conditions:

• Erectile dysfunction (impotence)
• loss of libido (decreased sexual interest)
• Pulmonary Hypertension

How a drug works

As mentioned above, Kamagra contains sildenafil citrate salt which is responsible for men getting an erection. To see how this drug works, let's first understand the anatomy of the male erection. A male erection is achieved when a chemical called NO (nitrous oxide) is produced in the male penis, which internally activates an enzyme called "guanylate cyclase". This guanylate cyclase converts a naturally occurring chemical in the body called GTP into C-GMP and this C-GMP is responsible for erection. Sildenafil deactivates the enzyme PDE-5, which is responsible for breaking down GMP. In simpler terms, Sildenafil breaks down the enzyme (PDE-5) responsible for reducing the erectile effects of another enzyme (C-Gmp).
