Thanks for the input FUTURE_HT_DOC... i hear that a lot of HT docs suggest using half a pill for 0.5mg since full 1mg is overkill in most cases... anyone can confirm/deny that?

So I am considering going from 1 propecia pill (1mg) to half (splitting them) to do 0.5mg every day. I see people refer to studies that claim that half a pill is pretty much as effective as the whole thing. But i am having difficulties finding the actual studies.. can someone link to some? Also, has anyone tried going from 1mg to 0.5mg? what was your experience? thanks.

So, I understand this as a 0 to 100 scale. Like this 0------------50-------------100 where 0 is you are losing hair because of the DHT and 100 is where you do not lose any hair. at the same time with 0 you probably have a lot of DHT and are very sexually active, while at a 100 you dont have much if any DHT so you arent sexually active. If you take propecia to supress DHT, then you are essentially going from 0 to 100, correct? Or at least trying to get there, to stop losing hair and supress DHT. If there is no DHT that means you are less sexually active, less sexually active meaning have all those side effects. So, question here is, if you are taking Propecia and you are having side effects, doesnt that mean that its working, and is getting you on the 100 side of the scale? While at the same time if you are taking propecia, and have NO side effects that would mean its not powerful enough to take you to that side.. therefore you will still lose hair because it cant supress all of the DHT??? Am I understanding it right that no side effects is a bad thing? Essentially the side effects are proof of the medication working and supressing what we want it to supress? i.e. sexual hormones?

What I am trying to figure out, is where is the propecia or proscar that people take is made... like i made an example mine is made in the US. Id like to know where other's is made.

no replies? its as if noone takes Propecia or Generic version of it.

Do you order Propecia from there or Generic? Whichever one it is, where does it say its from on the bottle? India?

So I just started taking propecia 3 days ago, while I still have a 60 day supply I would like to figure out if I can get it cheaper than $76 per 30 pills at Rite Aid. I looked at my Rite Aid sold bottle and it says its the Product of the USA... which is great.. I trust it.. I have been browsing these forums looking at people's feedback and opinions and it seems like a lot of people recommend canadadrugs.com however their generic version is from Turkey and their Propecia (non generic) is from India.... I dont know if I trust either of those... Its way too easy to make fake pills with use of chalk and other chemicals.. especially if its a drug that cant really be tested.. aka Propecia.. which doesnt give direct results at a predetermined interval. So... I dont think I will go with a generic unless it is made in the US. I would like to know... your bottles.. of NON Generic.. real Propecia.. where does it say they are from? And where did you buy them from? Do stores in the US sell ones from India? or are all US store (not online) sold ones made in the US? Does anyone have any Generics that were made in the US? Thanks EDIT - PS: Before anyone says... why would they make fake pills? Because in order to synthesize real ones you need a factory.. but if you got a basement and 5 bucks to buy a pound of Chalk then you and your buddy can make ten thousand doses, and sell them via a process similar to money laundering thereby making profit from nothing. Ofcourse real plants wouldnt make fakes. Although even those can skimp on stuff.. if they need 10 thousand pounds of an ingredient.. taking 1 pound and selling it to buddy is less than 0.01%.. doesnt make a difference right? Except 10 people do that.. now all of a suddenly it turns into 1%, then at the next stage of manufacturing another 20 people do that. and so on and so forth... unfortunately this happens ALL the time in all industries in 3rd world countries.. starting from meat factories to medicine to detergent.. you name it.

i believe he is saying 30 cents a piece... so that makes 270 of them $81

bump I would like to get some feedback in regard to my question about offbrand generic propecia as I brought it up in the last post. Quote:

Just got my prescription was $76 for 30 tablets of Propecia (tiny orange tablets with P on one side and Propecia on the other). It seems like the generic version is about 2/5 of that price... but it says it comes from India/Turkey what are the chances of it being fake? or not as good?

Thank you so much for a very detailed explanation for all of my questions. I just called my Physician and confirmed that he can prescribe Propecia for me. I plan on asking him if he feels that I could get away with getting Proscar to save money. I am going to see him in 2 hours Is there anything specific I should ask him? Or watch out for when it comes to getting on Finasteride? (I read about the side effects.. lets hope im not in the 5% or whatever it is that are effected)

Oh and another question.. if I get Propecia right now and try it out for a year... 1) Who should I go to? My Physician to get prescription? 2) What is the kind I should be looking for? There are different kinds right? Id like the kind that has the biggest chance to produce results.

Thank for the lengthy and thorough explanation, it really helped shed some light on my questions. However I have a couple more questions: 1) From what I understand no drug out there (i.e. Propecia) will regrow new hair? So the only thing it will do is keep existing hair. In other words it wont make my hair look any better it will just prevent it from getting worse? Or am I not understanding that right? 2) Does propecia make current hair thicker? 3) When will Hasson and Wong open an LA office? Any estimates? 2011? 2015? 4) Is HT procedure something that keeps on getting better? Like is it likely that in 5 years time surgeons will be able to do more with less? or better results? When i was driving to work today for some reason I was thinking of an analogy with women's breast enhancement procedures. 20 years ago they would leave scars and not look as good... but nowerdays you cant even see/find a scar. (sorry if thats a dumb analogy). Thanks again for all the answers

I would do Propecia, but like for a limited time.. lets say.. for a year until the transplanted hair feels like its at home.. i just dont want to take it forever you know. Why do you feel like HT is not for me? As I mentioned previously i still need to learn a lot about HTs... so I am curious why you feel that way? EDIT - on a side note... you said to get a professional opinion.. any specific suggestions for LA area?

So, I am 25. I started getting a receding hairline in High School (probably 10 or 8 years ago). Up until about 6 months ago I just kind of lived with it without giving it a second though... Just accepted it as part of life.. up until about 6 months ago when I saw some TV commercials for Hair Club For Men and realized that I could probably do a HT and deal with this problem. So now that I know there is something that can be done about it, I am really self conscious about my hair, and think about it EVERY DAY for the last 6 months. It really bugs me, every time my friends snap a picture or do video i always worry that my baldness will show up. Needless to say I am pretty much 100% set on doing this. I found these forums a few months back by accident and have been reading and learning about HTs. I learned that I should stay the heck away from HairClub for men and go to a recommended surgeon instead. I really dont want to take any drugs (propecia etc)... i want to do a HT and get it over with... i realize a lot of people are saying that you pretty much never stop at 1 procedure... you need to do more than 1... well I am hoping that 1 will get me to the point where I wont be embarrassed anymore.. and then if I want more just because of greed for more hair then whatever, thats fine I just dont want it to be like a half done job. I really dont know much about HT's and all the terms thrown around on forums dont make much sense to me. FUE etc... I work in an environment where I can wear a baseball cap or a hoodie or anything like that.. so I hope to take a week off when I finally do this and then go back to work after a week. I am attaching my pictures.. I just got a haircut today so its cut pretty short. Some pictures are taken with flash and some are without flash (13 pictures total). Id love to hear any kind of feedback.. I live in LA area... any procedure type suggestions? How many grafts will I need (approx) ? I would like to fill in the receding hairline and do top of my head (I marked on 2 pictures in blue)... am I a good donor? (I have no idea what makes a good donor)... Anything else I should know? Any recommended surgeons? Thanks ahead of time. Head.zip
