What do you guys think about this website for
Propecia? I've heard bad things about online pharmacies, and want to be safe, but I'm on a serious budget with no health care.

I checked their distributor, United Pharmacy, and it got some fairly negative, albeit mixed, reviews.

Get a prescription for proscar (generic propecia). you will have to cut the pill in quarters but from what i recall the cost is almost half.

Jesus, is that another picture of Bobman? He's a Hasson and Wong patient. He certainly didn't get those results from Propecia.

IrishAndroid,

Personally, I'd stay away from ordering any product on a website that promotes false advertising. If they're going to use before/after hair transplant patients to advertise Propecia, stay away from them.

If you want to save money, consult a qualified hair restoration physician and discuss getting a prescription for Proscar. It contains more finasteride per pill, but cutting it and taking one quarter daily will give you a very similar dosage as one Propecia pill.

Best wishes,

Bill

Good grief. I think my job description is about to get modified to include "fraud enforcement" because this is getting to be a bit more commonplace. I have to keep telling myself that this is flattering for our clinic since so many other websites lift our patient results as their own.

WOW, what a great deal! Apparently each order of Propecia comes with a free 7800 graft transplant from Hasson and Wong!

Seriously though. If all these places are going to rip off H&W, you would think they would at least not use the very first pic on the website.

Laziest con artists ever.

This is just shameful of these sites. I mean, I'm glad they recognize great work, but really!! Unless of course Bobman is making a killing selling his photos on the side

At this rate, Bobman will have his own reality show by next year.
