Senior Member hairbank Posted March 1, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted March 1, 2006 I just received shipment of my order of generic Proscar (Finasteride). I ordered online from Hairsave International (website is www.propecia-proscar.com). I'm concerned about what I received. The website says it will come from Brazil and is manufactured by Merck, a reputable pharmacutical company. The pills do appear as most do, inside a little plastic bubble on top which you push through the back silver lining - I hope this makes sense. My concerns - The pill packages ( I think there are about 8 pills in a packet) did not come in a box, they were taped together 2 packets each?? Also, trademark information said Merck but the other words word foreign......Finasterida, generica?? And, I can't tell for sure because of the foreign words but I think the expiration dates are 10/06 and 11/06..........since I'm taking 1.25 mg every other day I have a 8 month supply and will surpass this! I know several would avoid ordering online.......I'm not wanting to start that debate. For those of you who DO order online, do you order from Hairsave International or have you received a shipment like the one I received with foreign writing and not in a box? I'm very concerned about this and would appreciate replies from those of you ordering online.

Senior Member hairbank Posted March 2, 2006 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'm really hoping for some responses here. Does anyone order online and if so have you experienced anything similar to what I'm talking about?

Senior Member pushing 40 Posted March 2, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have ordered and recieved medicines exactly as you described with no problems at all. Its just cheaper packaging/processing situation. I really think it is a non-issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
