All,

I am wondering if anyone can help me. I recently brought generic Propecia from Horizon Drugs website. A drug called Aurofina-1 arrived, that does say finasteride 1mg on the packet, however I cannot find a single other reference to Aurofina-1 on the internet; strange. It seems the normal generic Propecia that people get is called finpecia so I am surprised it is not that. Can anyone help, is this legitimate or have I been ripped off?

Kind regards,

Ajen

Hola que tal.

Hoy he recibido el pedido de finasteride que realize a medicfarm , cual es mi sorpresa que me mandan finasteride llamado AUROFINA-1 , no tiene prospecto ni nada , vienen directamente los blissters.

Alguien esta tomando este generico?

gracias

Ajen,

I too can't find any information on this, at least not in English. The information I did find in Spanish, I used Babelfish to translate but still didn't see anything substantial that could validate this. You might want to consider contacting the company or talking to your physician about this.

Otherwise, I'd consider getting a prescription for Proscar, splitting the pill into quarters and taking 1/4 pill a day which is similar to taking Propecia. This is what I do and is much more cost effective.

Bill

Hi guys,

I have also bought aurofin-1. I did buy it over the internet and it was merchandised as most effective. However I have not received any documentation of this drug. Just 9 strips with each 10 pills on it. Enough for 3 months. However I'm now afraid of taking these pills because the way i recevied them. They where in an envelope with a post mark of the republic of Seychelles on it. Nothing else but a stamp on the back of the envelope with Gerrit Heimerle a po box and the city Victoria. HAs anyone been tripped into this as well? I find it odd to say the least. Please help I've paid a lot of money for these pills.

Ajen and sukkel, I personally wouldn't take anything that doesn't say "Merck Frosst" or "Propecia" or "Avodart" right on the box!

Regards,

I am responding to your recent inquiry... I also have received Aurofina-1 with the same unique packaging despite my prescription from my doctor forwarded.. I just received it today and I was wondering your results and or any responses thus far?

Thank you,

CaZ

Hi, I just had a similar experience. I ordered two 90 day supplies of propecia and received 90 tablets of Aurofina-1. Can anyone explain what this is? I wanted to get away from the high cost of propecia, but I feel like a fool now.

Thanks, Carl

Hi everyone, to all those who have had bad experience with the generic known as Aurofina-1, i have done some research, and found what claims to be the certificate of analysis. I have attached an image of the COA.

The Manufacturing company appears to be a company named Aurochem laboratories, the research i have done on their webpages does not lead to any evidence that they manufacture aurofina-1 although on one of their two webpages states they produce finasrteride but does not state any name which it is sold under.

http://www.aurochemlaboratories.com/ This site states thaat it manufactures finasteride but has no product name: aka it doesn't mention whether it is aurofina or not

http://www.aurochemlabs.com/ This site has no mention of the production of finasteride at all


Both of the above sites I tried to contact but received message failure errors.

My recommendation is to contact your suppliers, after doing some of your own research into this see what they say, as they may distribute more than one generic and if you are fortunate enough they may resend you, from a known generic that they may also offer.

Please can someone tell me what they thought of the information I supplied. Does the COA and the websites link or look legitimate.

Please inform me. Thanks and best of luck in resolving this.

I received this from generics4all. After taking it for about two weeks, my hair loss resumed in force. I was on Propecia for about 6 years, and my hair was stable. After going back and forth with the support from generics4all, I am convinced that this is a sham operation. I stopped taking these pills. Also has anyone noticed that the pills have a very odd odor which Propecia does not?

Hi all,
I, too, have just received loose strips of Aurifina1 tablets in the mail, from Seychelles. I am now sceptical, whether these tablets actually contain finasteride or something that does not work. I have ordered 180 tablets or 6 months supply. Should I throw them out and see a doctor, or start using them and hope for the best?
