Kamagra, which contains sildenafil citrate, can cause both common and serious side effects. While mild side effects are typical and transient, some individuals may experience serious reactions and should seek medical attention if they occur[1].
Common side effects include:
- Headache[1]
- Facial flushing (redness and warmth in the face)[2]
- Dizziness[2]
- Indigestion/upset stomach[2]
- Nasal congestion (stuffy nose)[2]
- Changes in vision, including blurred vision or visual disturbances[1]
- Muscle aches or pain[5]
- Diarrhea[5]
- Redness of the skin[5]
- Stuffy or runny nose[5]
- Trouble sleeping[5]
- Unusually warm skin[5]
Less common or rare side effects include:
- Nausea or vomiting[7]
- Nosebleeds[7]
- Hearing impairment or deafness[7]
- Altered color perception, or inability to see color[7]
- Diarrhea or stomach cramps (severe or continuing)[5]
- Reduced fertility or possible permanent infertility[7]
- Sleepiness[5]
- Rectal bleeding, redness, or irritation in the mouth[5]
Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention):
- Allergic reactions such as sudden wheezing, difficulty breathing, dizziness, or swelling of the eyelids, face, lips, or throat[1][3]
- Chest pain[1]
- Prolonged and sometimes painful erections (priapism), especially if lasting more than four hours[1][3]
- Sudden loss of vision[1][4]
- Severe skin reactions: severe peeling and swelling of the skin, blistering of the mouth, genitals or around the eyes, or fever[1]
- Seizures or fits[1]
- Sudden hearing loss or ringing in the ears[7]
- Heart problems or arrhythmias, particularly if combined with other blood-pressure-lowering medications[7][8]
- Melanoma (higher risk noted in some reports)[7]
Important safety notes: Kamagra is not FDA-approved, making its quality and consistency less reliable than approved medications[4]. It should not be taken with nitrates, blood pressure medications, or alcohol due to the risk of serious interactions, including dangerously low blood pressure or heart problems[8]. Always consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if you have underlying conditions.
