Strange Smell: Propecia V. Generic

[lmt400]

Hi,

 

Ive recently switched from generic Finasteride 1mg (Finalop) to 1mg Propecia (As generic isnt available in 1mg in this country) and have noticed that the tablets have a strange, quite bad smell. The Generic brand did not have this smell, however the original does.

 

Can anyone using Propecia confirm whether theirs has this smell? Is it possible I got a bad pack?

 

Thanks

I have had a few patients over the years that have said they noticed a strange smell from the propecia. You can always contact Merck and ask them if this is normal. If not, they might offer to replace them.

Hi,

This is most likely because of the ingrained attitude of drug companies selling only the marketed (and expensive) brand. First and foremost, they've got your wallet in mind. Never forget this.

 

It just stinks! :cool: When Lynyrd Skynyard was asked to comment on the US Big Pharma, he so poignantly commented: "Ooooh that smell!"

To bathe yourself of this putrid stench, order generic finasteride from www.canadadrugs.com

 

There is no fear of being prosecuted by anyone, but if you find a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman outside of your door, you can't outrun a horse, so swallow all of your pills immediately. And your breath won't even stink. After they leave, take epikak, because finasteride may become hallucinogenic from doses in excess of 100mg.

 

Before you argue that it is strictly illegal to import prescription drugs from Canada, read between the lines: "Under U.S. law, it is illegal to import drugs from Canada. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), however, does not prosecute anyone who imports prescription drugs for personal use. Americans may import up to a three-month supply of medications without fear of prosecution. "

"Some members of Congress even encourage the practice by listing Canadian pharmacies on their Web sites." Interesting read:

You decided not to become a genetic victim when you chose a hair transplant, so why be a financial victim at the hands of Big Pharma?
