Default Finpecia

Hi,

Whilst in India I bought 700 tablets of finpecia for $70US. Is this a good price? I have the name of the supplier in India if I require more medication.

Regards

Rod

Hi Guys,

Well I thought I would get at least one reply to me post

Honestly, I'm telling you the truth about the cost of my finpecia medication. I have enough for 2 years.

Regards

Rod

I believe you, yes that sounds about right.
Alldaychemist (also based in India) are about the same.

Why people let themselves get ripped off with this generic medicine is beyond me.

Hi,

About 1.5 years ago I tried finasteride but I suffered from a lack of libido and therefore stopped using the medication. I will say though that I gave up after about a week and I recently underwent my second HT and my surgeon suggested giving it a try again.

I'll try it for a bit longer this time and see whether I have the same side effects.

Regards

Rod

I take finpecia 1mg generic Finateride and have no issues with it and get it from a well known reliab le source and this is key. The ukfinasteride site and Dr Singh are great!

Try this RodG

Hi Spex,

Thanks for the suggestion I'll give your suggestion a try. I've bought two years worth of Finpecia so I might as well try to get over the side effects.

Regards

Rod

Spex, Im not sure what you mean when you say that the source you buy it off is key? If the medicine is the legit stuff, then the site you buy it off surely, is irrelevant?

I think that site is vastly overpriced.

No worries RodG, best of luck with it.


Jay,
There are many sites out there 'selling' drugs. How does anyone know for sure which are legitimate and which aren't. Many have had fingers burnt in the past buying cheap fake meds online. Not all meds sites sell authentic drugs. FACT.*However if you feel your supplier does sell legit drugs - great.

I know many UK guys take real comfort however in the fact that speaking directly to a UK registered GP in person is important to them and me especially when embarking on purchasing prescribed medication and as a result of this prepared to pay a relatively small amount more( compared to cheap websites) for this level of service and reassurance. I recommend Dr Singh as I know for a fact he is legit and buy my meds from him and prepared to pay a few quid more to avoid any uncertainty or doubt.

If you feel you can get your meds cheaper and its 100% legit go for it but right now I know I would rather know 100% who I am buying my medication from and to be able to speak to them in person and know it's from a legitimate source especially when it's cheap at only 200 quid for a years supply.

Out of interest who prescribes the meds from the site you buy from. Do you speak to an actual GP or is it literally anyone can buy from there regardless ?

Hope this helps.

Best
Spex

Anyone can buy regardless. India has different rules to the UK, lol.
I hear what you are saying about having confidence in where you buy from. But really, faked medicines have also been sold totally unwittingly in the UK as well.
Having said that, I know alot of people who buy from alldaychemist, and all have had great service on all medicines bought.
Personal choice of course.
