Finpecia worked great for me. I started on finpecia about 2 months ago and I have never taken propecia before that. Previously when I had to apply minoxidil on my head, there will be a big amount of hair on my hands after rubbing on the minoxidil(at least 20-30 strands) About 2 weeks after I started finpecia, the shedding stopped, and I only get 1 or 2 strands after rubbing. Therefore I believed finpecia worked for me. I dont know how consistent the quality of finpecia will be but I dont see how much better using genuine propecia can get for my case.
