Apcalis SX Oral Jelly (Tadalafil)

While this jelly form of Apcalis provides the same effect as the tablets, it also works much faster because the jelly form is more rapidly absorbed in the blood as compared to tablets. Although the rate of absorption and the time of visible effects will vary from one person to another.  The drug usually takes effect in less than 15 minutes and lasts for 24 to 36 hours. It comes in sachets with 7 different flavors: orange, mango, pineapple, strawberry, mint, black currant, and chocolate – making it fun and convenient to take.
