They are equivalent to regular Viagra®, however due to their soft formulation, they are absorbed directly into the bloodstream. As such, they contain a much smaller dosage of Sildenafil Citrate to achieve the same result.<br />
<strong><a HREF="http://www.cheap-pharmacy.us/?action=cialis&amp;count=1&amp;t=&amp;pid=_2259&amp;dis=&amp;cart=">Cialis</a></strong> &#8211; Cialis, or Super Viagra, is used to treat erectile dysfunction, more commonly known as impotence. A man is impotent if he cannot achieve or sustain an erect penis for sexual activity.<br />
<strong><a HREF="http://www.cheap-pharmacy.us/?action=genericviagra&amp;count=1&amp;t=&amp;pid=_2259&amp;dis=&amp;cart=">Generic Viagra</a></strong> &#8211; Generic Viagra, containing Sildenafil Citrate, enables many men with ED to achieve or sustain an erect penis for sexual activity.<br />
