Kamagra when planning pregnancy
For couples trying to conceive, every chronic medication deserves a careful pre-pregnancy review. Kamagra (Sildenafil Citrate) at 50mg, 100mg may need to be continued, switched, or stopped before conception, depending on the active ingredient Sildenafil Citrate and the indication. The right answer is rarely the same for everyone and rarely "just stop the medication."
Pre-conception review of Kamagra
According to the prescribing information for Sildenafil Citrate, the pre-conception decision balances the risk of the medication during pregnancy against the consequences of leaving the underlying condition untreated. Some Erectile Dysfunction (ED) medications are continued safely through pregnancy; others are switched to safer alternatives before conception or in early pregnancy. Sildenafil citrate works by inhibiting PDE5, the enzyme responsible for breaking down cyclic GMP in penile tissue.
Effect on fertility itself
Some medications affect fertility directly — by altering ovulation, sperm parameters, hormonal balance or libido. Whether Kamagra has any documented effect on fertility depends on Sildenafil Citrate; the prescribing information notes any data. Anyone trying to conceive should discuss Kamagra with the prescriber and a fertility specialist if conception is taking longer than expected.
