dollars.

completely different ball game. they won't ship to the UK.

my source is used by many on this website, also

 

 

How is it a completely different ball game? its alot cheaper, thats the difference.

 

$48 for 400 days worth.................vs 200 pound for 365 days worth.

They charge $25 shipping too, but still only $73. ;)

 

Yes they do ship to the UK, ive used them about 8 times now.

cheers jay, and cheers for the recommendation.

 

noticed they sell nizoral there too but from johnson and johnson and 10ml smaller than nizoral 60ml from boots

 

pharmacies in uk online charge a hell of a lot of money, these are priced very well, shame about the 25$ shiping though

 

would you recommend finpecia 1mg for now then yes?

The $25 shipping charge is irelevant, they are charging $1.42 for a strip of 10.

Thats $14.20 for 100 days worth.

 

37 X $1.42 = $52.54 + $25 = $77.24 for a years supply of Finasteride.

 

I really dont understand how anyone can fail to see this is a bargain???

i will let you know how i get on equivalent of 125pound a year bargain

 

how long do i stay on finpecia 1mg for before going on to the 5mg?

 

I think you may have gotten some misleading advice at some point.

 

You should take 1mg per day whether you buy the 1mg or the 5mg tablets. If you buy the 5mg tablets, you can cut them into 4 and take 1/4 per day (this works out at 5mg per 4 days). If you are worried about an extra 0.25mg per day, then skip 1 day in 5.

 

The advantage of buying the 5mg tabs is purely financial since 10 tablets will last 40 days.

 

I also buy 5mg tablets although I use proscar (it's more expensive than generics like fincar but much cheaper than 1mg propecia). This is probably where the 200 pounds per year came from that was mentioned earlier in the thread (30 proscar tabs are about 70 dollars).

lol, no offense, but if you're silly enough to pay those prices then it's your own fault for not researching.

You can get the generic drug a lot cheaper online.

I bought a years supply for 200 pounds a few months back

 

I haven't bought any yet I was just stating fact.

I would like to get on it, but so many horror stories out there.

I personally wouldnt like my 5-alpha-reductase enzyme deleting for life, which is what some people are finding, even years after coming off the drug.

 

My alpha 5 reductase enzyme deleting for life ) that sounds scary What's that?

Its the enzyme that is responsible for converting Testosterone to DHT.

We need some DHT, for many things in the body.

 

Reducing it is fine, but I think the unlucky ones that are having a hard time with it have had it permanently deleted with the drug.

 

Of course, not eveyone is having problems, but their is a certain risk.

Ok I have been back on Fin for the last week after being off it for a while. I am looking forward to the results!!

 

For those of you who don't know I came off of it because I thought I was having a Cystic acne breakout because of it/ However now that my face has healed and cleared up I am going to attempt it again, and hopefully won't have the breakout again! Will post some pictures soon!

Don't get off of it totally because of an acne breakout, they come and go, be persistent with your medication.

 

If you get off and on, your hormones will fluctuate.

 

Get some benzoyl peroxide or w/e for the acne.

 

 

I get acne too fyi, I'm on the 6th month now, basically cleared up, with an occaisional red spot.

I've read some articles on it and in my opinion the risk by far outweighs the benefit, but I think it depend on how much hair matters to you.

Hey guys! Thanks

 

I did get on Monodox and and a benzoyl peroixde cream and acid face mask from the dematologist and it certainly helped clear everything up.

 

I have now been taking 1.25mg every other day and have not noticed an increase of breakouts.

 

I've also started using the generic Minoxidil foam! Love it! No more greasy runny mess and it drys so quickly!

When I stared Finasteride it actually reduced my oily skin. A Zinc supplement really helps also.

 

Stick with this for one full year, then reevaluate your situation. Pics go a long way in really deciding whether the treatments are working. Take them in the same light with the same length hair and hair cut. Good luck!

Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily

Avodart 0.5 mg. daily

Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily

5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily

Biotin 1000 mcg daily

Multi Vitamin daily

 

Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1? :D

Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily

Avodart 0.5 mg. daily

Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily

5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily
