morehairs Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hi, Does anyone here on Finpecia which is just a generic version of Propecia? It is only $1 a pill. It is available at hair2go.com. I am not sure whether it is legit or not. I am on Propecia right now. I pay $2 per pill. Any suggestions? Thank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member terry mitchell Posted August 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2005 morehairs, I looked at the website on Finpecia. Since Minoxidil is sold in it's generic form, this could be a real savings over buying Propecia, if it's legit. I'll wait and see if we can get more info. Terry.

Regular Member terry mitchell Posted August 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2005 I did some more research on this one. Finpecia is manufactured by Cipla, an Indian company. Their patent laws allow for the manufacturing of patent drugs as long as the process is different, if I interpreted the info. correctly. I found prices as low as 100 1mg. tabs for US 45.00. This, of course, raises a lot of questions. Do you really know what you are getting when purchasing meds from another country and over the web? How do their standards for manufacturing drugs compare to the U.S.? I hope we get some more feedback. Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Robert_ Posted August 21, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2005 It isn't the manufacturer of the generic medication that concerns me as much as the rogue distributor websites that carry it. Here is a thread that has a few options for savings on legitimate finasteride. It is definitely worth looking into. -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member JetFlyBoy Posted August 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2005 Yeah, I think I'd shy away from it. There are all sorts of things like this you can get over the web... some of them are a real savings, but my hair is one thing I just wouldn't mess around with, even if it costs twice as much. Regimen: 1 propecia taken in the morning, 3 shots 5% minoxodil twice a day around the hairline, 1% Nizoral several times a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 i tried finpecia for about 6 weeks. i got those pesky side effects, but honestly, when i stopped, i noticed no hair falling out. sure enough it continued when i stopped. about 3 years ago i had a pretty full head of hair, and no i have heavy difused thinning. im thinkin of trying it agian, only splitting it up into every other day, or every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
