Dear KSV,

I did a search on Lexis Nexis, and I determined that Sildenafil
Citrate (Viagra) is made by Pfizer.  Vigorx is the company that is
using a process (to be patented) to reconstitute Sildenafil Citrate in
gel form, or soft tabs.  From the reading and internet search on
www.vigorx.com, it is apparent that virgorx was either acquired by or
renamed as Vidrin.

Here are some exerpts from the articles, which details what I've
summarized:

"Every Since Pfizer(R) introduced Viagra(R) (Sildenafil Citrate) in a
tablet form a few years ago, companies have been scrambling to find a
faster, more patient friendly form of the drug Sildenafil Citrate.
Now, Vigorx(TM) announces they are able to offer results in just 15
minutes, revolutionizing the speed and ease of taking Sildenafil
Citrate. Through a patent pending process, the compounding pharmacist
takes Pfizer's Viagra(R) tablets, and grinds them to a fine powder.
The Sildenafil Citrate powder from the Viagra tablets is mixed and
formulated into a mint-flavored dissolvable gel form."\

....

"Currently Sildenafil Citrate soft tabs are available by prescription
through the Internet. You can get them by going to www.vigorx.com.
There is an easy to fill out medical history form that is forwarded on
to a doctor for prescription approval. Once approved, Vigorx forwards
the prescription to the pharmacist who compounds the Sildenafil
Citrate soft tabs using the patented pending process."

revolutionizes the speed and ease of taking sildenafil citrate."

I have found dozens of Web sites which sell Sildenafil Citrate Soft
Tabs. Many of them have statements similar to this:

"Introducing Sildenafil Citrate soft tabs, the new sublingual lozenge
compounded by a regulated and licensed pharmacy facility from Pfizer’s
FDA approved Viagra®."

http://buy-sildenafil-citrate-online.com/

Here's some information about the marketing of the Soft Tabs:

"Interactive Multimedia Network recently launched SoftTab.com to
market Soft Tab, a new and superior form of Sildenafil Citrate (the
active ingredient in Pfizer's Viagra). Soft Tab is the fastest acting
oral medication available today for Erectile Dysfunction. These
tablets dissolve quickly under the tongue and achieve the desired
effect within 15 minutes, allowing those who experience erectile
dysfunction to more quickly enjoy sexual relations. The compounding
Pharmacist utilizes only Pfizer® Inc.'s, FDA-approved Viagra® in the
formulation of Sildenafil Citrate soft tabs. (Note:"Compounding" is
the unique preparation of a customized medication by a licensed
Pharmacist to solve the specific problems and needs of patients.)"

http://www.tradersnation.com/imni.shtml

Since this is a product that is compounded by a pharmacist, there may
be no single "manufacturer."

Pfizer (the manufacturer of Viagra) has applied for a patent on a
similar product:

There is also a patent application for a chewing gum containing
sildenafil citrate:

And an intranasal product:

These types of questions are best answered by professionals in the
field.  I would suggest you contact either a pharmacist or a
pharmacologist.

From the perspective of convenience, I would suggest you ask your
neighborhood Walgreens or CVS retail pharmacist.
