Honestly there's no real way of knowing 100% depending on who your supplier was but yes it most likely is the real stuff and will work fine. I've been using generics for a while now and they have been helping very well. The high cost of propecia bothers me. Sure there are huge R&D costs but it's not like propecia was a new drug or anything; hair growth was a side effect discovered from proscar. I think propecia costs $55/mo for life or at least until propecia comes off patent. Merck seems a little greedy to me... -
thats what i am going to do jagdish, i bought some generic stuff from united pharmacies, i was told this is the same thing just cheaper without a script. we will see how well it works. http://www.unitedpharmacies.com/customer/product.php?pr...tid=449&cat=0&page=1 thats what i got. what do you think? Big thanks for the united pharmacies link. I was going through xlpharmacy.com but they keep raising prices and shipping too! I've been using finpecia and it seems to be working well.

He has a pretty high hairline and looks like he has had some unnatural work done. Anyone seen the show?

Value of hair densitometer?
slick old replied to slick old's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I've been following Dr Rassman at baldingblog.com and he repeats over and over again about the value of mapping the hair for miniaturization using the densitometer (a device he invented). I visited a top doc and he said it was more of a gimmic than anything useful. Dr Rassman seems to have ignored my email asking him to clarify this. Do any clinics here use this device? -

I use the finpecia made by Cipla. It seems to be working and it's much cheaper than propecia. It costs about $130 with shipping for 6 months.

The stuff I get is called finpecia and it comes in plastic foil packs of 10. It's made by Cipla and after doing some research they say their plants are certified by the FDA etc. I've been on it for 8 months and it seems to be working so I'll continue to use it. Cutting the pills seems like a pain to me.

I am talking about choosing between Ron Shapiro or his brother Paul. Your pattern looks pretty close to mine or where I am heading. I was told I need to shave down to 1/4 inch to do the surgery which makes me pretty nervous as I'd rather keep my hair longer to hide the work. Your hair looks about an inch long in the after pics. Was that your choice or necessary for surgery?

Thanks for all the comments guys. I'm still up in the air on which doc to go with. Of course money isn't my main concern but if I can save a large chunk of change going with a doctor who supposedly is just as good should I? I guess what I'm asking is would you guys choose Ron or Paul if it was your first surgery?

Hey guys first post been lurking here for a while. Had a second consult with Shapiro today and I'll probably go foward with my first transplant. I have the chance to do surgery with Shapiro's brother who, according to Matt is just as good. They've offered a pretty decent discount if I decide to go with the brother. Although I'm sure I have nothing to worry about with any docs at that clinic I really don't want to chance anything. Any feedback on this doctor? Thx
