Erectile dysfunction have nowadays become a serious problem not only among the old and middle-aged men, but also in young men. According to the Merck Manual and National Health Society (NHS) of UK, it is estimated that almost half men in the age range of 40-70 years suffer from ED to some extent. Causes of ED depend on numerous factors. ED does not occur due to a single risk factor and many reason are responsible for it. Occasional ED i.e. not able to achieve an erection sometimes can occur due to stress, depression and anxiety or other psychological factors. Persistent ED or inability to achieve an erection continuously for a long period of time can be due to physical reasons or presence of some long-term lifestyle disorder like cardiovascular disorder or diabetes. Treatment strategies depend on the underlying cause of ED. Treatment options include lifestyle modifications, medications (PDE-5 inhibitors like sildenafil, Tadalafil or Vardenafil), use of vacuum pumps, psychological counselling, cognitive behavioral therapy, sex therapy or the last resort is surgery. Many alternative systems like herbal medicines, acupuncture can help as an add-on to the main line treatment.
Breakthrough in the world of anti-ED medicine occurred when FDA approved the “blockbuster” medication Sildenafil Citrate in 1998. It became very popularly known as Viagra. Since then, many generic variants of this gold standard drug have been made which claim and are clinically proven to be equivalently effective and safe as the brand-name version (Viagra).
One such generic version of Viagra is Kamagra Oral Jelly. It contains the active ingredient sildenafil citrate which is the first member or the prototype member of the family phosphodiesterase – 5 inhibitors.
