hairhunting,
There are online stores that sell generic finasteride. Though one must be careful where they purchase it online, www.hairlosstalk.com is a credible resource that sells legitimate generic finasteride at more affordable prices. Though I don't know much about the pharmacies in the UK, you may be able to get a prescription for Proscar and cut the pill into quarters (since it contains 5mg of finasteride instead of 1mg) and take it daily. That's what I do. Bill

I get many emails re people wanting to start Propecia / Proscar and as i've stated on other posts i can put you in touch with my GP who prescribes me with it (Proscar) and has done for 8 yrs. A 15 month supply is ??120.00
Proscar is 5mg of Finesteride Propecia is 1mg of Finesteride Just cut Proscar in the 5th's  and you have Propecia  Unlike others GP'S whom seem to know very little about propecia/ proscar my GP has been on Propecia longer than i have and knows a great deal about it and can help you by anwsering any questions you have via a phone consultation. Drop me a PM or email and i can give you his details - I would put them up here but do not want to be seen as marketing. For the record he prescribes 1000's of guys here in the UK and the Proscar is 100% legit. There are probably many guys on here who already get it though him who can confirm. Regards Spex note: My GP can only prescribe within the UK.

are you sure that proscar and propeica are exactly the same. (besides the dosage)
As i understand it, proscar is used to target the prostate? are there any long term studies regarding propecia/proscar and their long term effect on the prostate?

Bill,
I truly was not trying to be funny. I genuinely didn't want to potentially over step. I am just trying to help out here DR Ashcroft: 07971472823 He is a top guy and will do all he can to help. Like most Gp's he is a busy guy but leave him a message and he will return your call. All the best Spex note: Proscar is 5mg of Propecia

I used Propecia for a short time and had the sexual side effects! Scared to try it again!
Took many months to get back to normal

Yes, I can tell you with absolute certainty that Proscar and Propecia contain the same meds.........active ingredient is Finasteride. Proscar, the 5mg variety is used to treat BPH (enlarged prostate), then, Propecia came out in 1mg form specifically for hair loss.

magalhaes,
I left the links up because you are not promoting them .But let me ask you - how have you assured that they are legitimate? I'm just wondering. I simply have reservations about purchasing medication online unless it's been validated as a credible resource. I'm interested in your thoughts. Bill
