A price on a particular medication on today’s pharmaceutical market differs from provider to provider. In the following article, we will compare prices on popular medications in two large online Canadian pharmacies: My Canadian Pharmacy (apppharma.com) and Canada Pharmacy (canadapharmacy.com).
Erectile Dysfunction Treatments

Viagra in its generic form know as sildenafil citrate, is by far the most popular and demanded medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It is been widely prescribed by urologists across the globe both in its branded form and also as a generic.
