Hello Bill. I have ordered two times from Medstore and the last time was from 4rx because they have a lower price for generic finasteride. I had no problems with both. From Medstore, on the second order, I have received a generic version of finasteride called FiMpecia. I know some people strange this name because they know FiNpecia and think FiMpecia is not reliable finasteride. All I can say is that I used FiMpecia for one year with the same results that I had with original Propecia (6/7 years) but with much lower price. But from Medstore I would only buy generic Proscar (5 mg finasteride) because 4rx has a lower price for finasteride 1 mg. So I had no problems with delivery and quality of the products I have bought from 4rx and Medstore. But I am not selling anything!!! This is just my opinion of two more valid options to buy generic medication.

Food for thought:

Insurance companies these days track and monitor everything. If you are taking Proscar and dividing it up, IN the future if you do develop a real prostate problemm there is always a possibility you could be denied for Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy if you change or get new insurance due to a pre existing conditions. SOmething similar to this happened. A patient decided to get a stress test and asked his cardiologist buddy to do it. Of course they processed it through his insurance. He was subsequently denied coverage for a preexisting heart condition when he tried to get new insurance. I have not actually heard of any one getting denied for the prostate issue, but it is a possibility unless new insurance laws go into effect. I do like to let my patients know about this risk.

I have never bought Proscar in local pharmacy because I usualy buy on internet. But if you are between 20-30 years old does your doctor give you a prescription for Proscar without problems?
