How do Generic Viagra Soft Tabs work?

Soft Tabs are absorbed in your mouth and not in your stomach, which means that unlike regular Generic Viagra, there is less chance of the active ingredient (Sildenafil Citrate) being inhibited by the consumption of alcohol or high fat foods. Generic Viagra Soft Tabs work just like brand name ED medications by dilating the blood vessels and improving blood flow to the penis. This causes an erection when a man is sexually stimulated. Unlike regular pills that must be absorbed through the digestive tract, soft tabs are absorbed through the cell walls under the tongue and get to work faster. Generic Viagra Soft Tabs can be taken as little as 15 minutes before sexual intercourse. The medication remains active in the body for up to 4 hours and can be taken up to three times daily. Generic Viagra Soft Tabs may be taken with or without food.
