Apcalis SX Oral Jelly contains tadalafil 20mg in oral gel — the same active ingredient as original Eli Lilly Cialis, in fruit-flavoured gel sachets. It is the only oral tadalafil gel on the market: combining the fast absorption of a gel (onset in 15–20 minutes) with the exceptional duration of tadalafil (up to 36 hours). Produced by Ajanta Pharma (India), GMP certified, same manufacturer as Kamagra Oral Jelly. Discreet delivery across Spain in 4–7 days.
Apcalis Jelly vs Kamagra Jelly — The Two Gels Head to Head
Many men confuse these two products because both are oral gel sachets with flavours. The real difference is the active ingredient — and that changes everything:
What Makes Apcalis SX Unique — The Tadalafil Gel
The oral gel market for erectile dysfunction is dominated by sildenafil (Kamagra, Kamagra Fizz). Apcalis SX Oral Jelly is practically the only oral tadalafil gel available. This gives it a combination of attributes no other gel can offer:
- Gel absorption speed — onset in 15–20 min thanks to partial buccal absorption, same as Kamagra Jelly
- 36-hour tadalafil duration — far above the 4–6 hours of sildenafil in any format
- No food influence — tadalafil is not affected by fatty foods, unlike sildenafil
- Gel format — no need to swallow tablets, available in fruit flavours
In practice: taking Apcalis SX Jelly on a Friday afternoon means the effect can be present until Sunday morning — without taking anything else.

Available Flavours — Ajanta Pharma
Apcalis SX Oral Jelly is available in fruit flavours in individual 20mg sachets: strawberry, mango, pineapple, orange, blackcurrant, chocolate and mint (availability subject to stock). The flavours mask the slight natural bitterness of tadalafil. Each 5g sachet contains the full 20mg dose. Ajanta Pharma, manufacturer of the product, also produces Kamagra Oral Jelly — guaranteeing quality and experience in pharmaceutical gel formulations.
Dosage and How to Take
- Dose: 1 sachet (20mg) per use — single and maximum daily dose
- When to take: 15–20 minutes before sexual activity
- How to take: Squeeze the sachet contents directly into the mouth or onto a spoon; hold 30 seconds under the tongue to maximise mucosal absorption before swallowing
- With meals: No significant influence — tadalafil can be taken with or without food
- Maximum frequency: 1 sachet per 24 hours
- Alcohol: Maximum 1–2 drinks. Both are vasodilators — excess combinations can produce orthostatic hypotension (dizziness on standing)
Storage note: Store at 15°C to 30°C, in a dry place away from direct light. Do not freeze. Sachets are sensitive to heat — avoid storing in a car in summer or in very hot places.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Apcalis Jelly and Kamagra Jelly if both are flavoured gels? The fundamental difference is the active ingredient: Kamagra Jelly contains sildenafil (4–6 hours of effect, same as Viagra). Apcalis SX Jelly contains tadalafil (up to 36 hours of effect, same as Cialis). The format is similar but the therapeutic result is very different.
Does Apcalis Jelly work as fast as Kamagra Jelly? Almost — Apcalis Jelly starts in 15–20 minutes, while Kamagra Jelly may start in 10–20 minutes. The practical difference is minimal, but Kamagra Jelly may have a very slightly faster onset in some cases.
Can I take Apcalis SX Jelly after a large meal? Yes — this is a key advantage of tadalafil. Unlike sildenafil, tadalafil is not significantly affected by food, even fatty and heavy meals. You can eat normally and take the sachet afterwards without losing efficacy.
Does the 36-hour effect mean you will have a continuous erection for 36 hours? No — it means that during that period an erection can occur in response to sexual stimulation. Without stimulation, there is no effect. Tadalafil's half-life is ~17.5 hours, which maintains therapeutic concentrations in the blood during that period.
