Really? That seems strange that they said it was illegal to give to you. My friend is taking it and he went to a different doctor as well. I went to a doctor in north west of Melbourne.

Where were the doctors that you went to?

Why don't you buy online?
I am sure there are some safe places to buy. My first experience was with unitedpharmacies. I bought one year supply finasteride 1mg, the product was ok, but I have only received 180 pills
I have bought from 4RX since 2007. They have a number from Australia on their contact page.

So I just went to the Chemist with my prescription and I got given some generic brand called Finasta... has anyone heard of it?

It is 5mg Finasteride. I really hope it works the same as Proscar!

I'll keep you updated with how it goes. I see you say you will go once you get the courage. I highly doubt the doctor would judge you at all, especially over something like this. Think of all the truly embarrassing stuff people go in for. Doctors would have seen it all and this would be nothing to them!
