Regular Member marino450 Posted July 11, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted July 11, 2006 Been on propecia for 3.5 months and it seem to be working for me ( i think it is ) havent seen any growth but hairloss is at a minimum and hair seems thicker. My question was that if i switch from propecia to proscar, would i get any shedding even though its the same stuff. Since propecis is working for me, is it stupid for me to try to switch to proscar to save some money??? Thanks alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member scientist Posted July 12, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted July 12, 2006 it's supposed to be the same thing so i don't think you should get any shedding. i'm going to switch as well to save cash, someone else posted that there is a new generic proscar that is even cheaper s http://www.bodyhairtransplant.blogspot.com http://www.youtube.com/metedude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any shedding? long term effects? How about the erection I switched last week, and already I see an intensive shedding compared to my propecia stage, and also my hard on is less hard. how about you guys?

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Marino, Switching from Propecia to Proscar should be no problem and you shouldn't experience any additional shedding since the medication is technically the same. You will want to cut the Proscar pill into quarters with a pill splitter since this medication contains 5mg of finasteride as opposed to 1mg of finasteride in Propecia. Additionally, many people do swich to save money, so it's not stupid at all. The only difficulty you might have is getting a doctor to prescribe the medication since it's not indicated anywhere on the medication that it is designed to prevent hair loss. Personally, I have made the switch and am quite happy about it. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member kg007 Posted August 11, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted August 11, 2007 I too switched from propecia to proscar about 2.5 months ago. I also had increased shedding, but I could not figure out that if that was from switch to proscar or from the rogaine foam that I had stopped during the switch to proscar.
