Default Ziering Medical uk vs Dr.Feriduni?

Well, after reading, looking and taking the advice of you all, I finally contacteds Dr.Feriduni's surgery and posted some pics for him to have a look at.

I still have my assessment appointment in Glasgow for Ziering Medical (but I can't find any info other than the publicity pictures etc actually on Zierings page about its own doctors) but i feel I'll cancel this as the amount ofpublicity to reasure future patients that Ziering's put into its own doctors is ZERO, and the advice and research on Dr/Furiduni was pleasing and inspired confidence in the man. Then he has a few videos on youube etc. He feels like the "Stan Lee" of the HT world.

So, Belgium it is....price dependant. I dont take any medication or propecia. My hairs always been kinda far back anyway, but I want the temple area filled etc. I cant afford the ?50 per month on this Propecia thing but i have saved for the Hair Surgery. I have allergies to lots of medication as well. I know I'll get the advice that theres no point in getting HT if the rest of the hair's gonna go, but what are my options here honestly. There's no magica green tea, or even the possability of a 20% off coupon from Dr.Feriduni for when I have to go back to thicken up or replace the hairs that Propecia would have "maybe" saved?

Thanks again for the advice guys and girls. Its amazing the feeling of calm hat replaces constant anxiety when you finally decide to do something positive about losing hair....and also if you've saved a few thousand pounds too...dammit!llol

Bud

i would still go to the zeiring consultation , but only for reaserch , don't sign anything , but enter the office with your eyes wide open , it will give you more of a grounded base and more HT knowledge .

Go look at UKfinasteride , you can get finasteride on there for 34p per day , if you buy 5mgs finasteride tables , cut into 6th and take 0.8mgs daily , it works out 10.40 pounds per month .

Good luck with Dr Feriduni and come back and report your findings .

Hi and thanks for the tablet and appointment advice. The trouble with me seeing various professionals is that their advice usually conflicts which in turn, for me anyway, makes me nervous. I'm hedging my beta on Dr.'s knowledge because too many opinions on a topic I'm novice about could put me off even although knowledge is power, ignorance is bliss

As for the tablets, I found 5mg Fin for ?0.08! Why doesn't everyone just buy those instead of the super expensive 1mg? Is it too good to be true?

Thanks again guys

You're referring to proscar or a generic version of it of some sort if it's 5mg for that cheap, be careful what you buy as it could be fake. The 1mg tablet is the brand propecia made by Merck. That's why it's more expensive. I buy it from boots & it's not 50 GBP a month. It's 90 GBP for 3 months & no need for prescription as they provide that.

If you're worried about side effects or allergies at least try a tiny bit of the medicine whether you buy proscar or propecia, and cut it up.
Use mino foam, you must try to save some hair, we're all trying to do the same.
Do go to that clinic but I agree DON'T sign anything & then head to Dr. Feriduni, from research he seems to be excellent.

It's actually 5mg Finasteride tablets from most chemists. It's ?0.08 per tablet divided by 5 or 6 = 50 pence per mOnth? I'll try it and see what happens but I'm checking with my doctor first to be sure and the asking the chemist because they know more about pills than the doctors. I like my sex. Don't EVER want to reduce that! Fingers crossed

Oh forgot to say, that I read a few places that several reports indicate that you only have to take between 0.2-1mg twice per week because "they say" it's just as effecting with reduced side effects as taking 1mg every day. Since I'm new to this whole thing it's as reasonable as people who say take it each day do I'll look into that more too

Feriduni is excellent. Ziering is just another big chain looking for your money.

Hahahahahaha

No bud , you misunderstand .................... I cut 5mg finasteride tablets into 6 parts and take 0.8mgs of the tablet daily .

I worked out by doing this it would cost 34 PENCE UK sterling per day , this adds up to , approximatly 10.40 UK POUNDS sterling per month .

Dutch has a very valid point , and care should always be taken , sadly if it sounds to good to be true it often is .

I buy mine from a very large and very reputable online company in the UK , for propecia , merck and generic , proscar and also finasteride it has a subsidury company online called UKfinasteride , it's not fake or dodgy , and I've used the same stuff for years from different sources without my hair falling out .

By being astute you can save money , even over high street chemists .

I hope that clears up the misunderstanding .
