What is Kamagra?

Kamagra is an illegal medication used for erectile dysfunction. It is produced abroad, usually India or China, where production is not supervised. For many men, it initially seems like an attractive alternative to official erection medication. It is often cheaper, easily available and does not require a prescription. However, the use of Kamagra involves considerable health risks along with it and selling it is also punishable in the Netherlands. In this article by Drs. van den Brink we will elaborate on the risks of Kamagra and what safe options are available.

Why do men choose Kamagra?

Erectile dysfunction are a common problem among men. Research published in the Journal of Urology shows that, on average, 40% of men aged 40 and 70% of men aged 70 have to deal with this. However, only 1 in 10 men seeks professional help. The shame or discomfort of visiting the doctor are reasons for this. Another reason is the price. Kamagra is often offered cheaper than registered erection drugs such as Viagra. Unfortunately, many users don't realize that this low price comes at the expense of product quality and safety.

The health risks of Kamagra

Although at first glance, Kamagra seems to offer a solution for erection problems, the use of this medicine involves significant health risks. They are produced by unreliable organizations and are not manufactured in accordance with standard quality procedures. These risks are often underestimated, but can have serious consequences.

The composition and dosage are unknown with Kamagra

Kamagra is often produced in countries where quality control is less stringent than in Europe or is completely absent. As a result, the ingredients and dosages can vary considerably. The amount of active substance is often unknown and does not match what is on the package. As a result, there is an increased risk of an under- or overdose of the drug. This increases the risk of side effects such as heart palpitations, fainting and even cardiac arrest.

Approved medications such as Viagra, Sildenafil, Cialis and Tadaladil are checked and comply with European legislation. This states that the amount of active substance may differ by up to 5% from the dose on the package. With fake medicines, there is no such control.

There may be harmful substances in Kamagra

Fake medicines, such as Kamagra, may contain substances that are not listed on the packaging. For example, these may be cheaper active substances that give roughly the same effect, but may have different side effects. Even if you don't notice anything immediately, it can be bad for your health in the long term. It is also possible that toxic substances end up in the pills.

Interaction with other medications

For men who take other medications, such as nitrates for heart problems, for example, Kamagra can be particularly dangerous. Combining these agents can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure. This risk is increased by the fact that users often do not seek medical advice before using Kamagra. When using erection medication, it is always necessary to seek advice from a doctor and pharmacist who can assess your personal medical situation. Nowadays, this can also be done online without, possibly uncomfortable, visits to your doctor.

The use of Kamagra in combination with alcohol

Kamagra and alcohol are not a good combination. First, Kamagra lowers blood pressure, and alcohol has the same effect. When combined, these substances can cause dangerously low blood pressure, leading to dizziness, fainting, or even loss of consciousness. This is particularly risky in men with cardiovascular diseases.

In addition, alcohol can reduce the effectiveness of Kamagra. The use of alcohol can slow blood flow, so that the erection-promoting effects of Kamagra do not fully work. As a result, the desired effect is not achieved, while the risks of side effects increase.

Risk of scams

The sale of Kamagra in the Netherlands is prohibited. If you do want to buy Kamagra, buyers are forced to do so via illegal and unreliable channels. There is a high risk of fraud here and deliveries often do not arrive.

Punishability of Kamagra in the Netherlands

In addition to the health risks, the use, and especially the sale, of Kamagra is punishable in the Netherlands. Indeed, Kamagra is not a registered medicine in the Netherlands and should therefore not be sold. The Dutch Medicines Act sets strict requirements for the production, distribution and sale of medicines. Anyone who breaks these rules risks heavy fines and even prison sentences.

Ordering and buying Kamagra involves legal risks. By buying illegal drugs, you're not only breaking the law, but you're also supporting criminal networks that trade counterfeit drugs. The Health Care and Youth Inspectorate (IGJ) is taking increasingly strict action against this.

Safe alternatives to Kamagra

Fortunately, there are safe alternatives available for Kamagra. Medication such as Viagra with active substance Sildenafil whether Cialis with active substance Tadalafil have been approved by the EMA and MEB. In addition, both drugs have been on the market for years and are the most used erection drugs worldwide. Fellos also makes it possible to buy these medicines online in a safe way.
