Senior Member Spanker Posted January 4, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hey, so I guess I have been under a rock when it comes to this subject but I missed the point that 1mg generic finasteride became available. I got a script and did not notice that was what it was. I have been on 1.25mg fin for 10 years successfully, cutting the 5mg into quarters. I am trying to decide whether or not to go back and get a 5mg or to just move to the 1mg and not have to worry about cutting the pills. Thoughts?

Regular Member Ian. Posted January 4, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted January 4, 2020 I would suggest sticking with what has been working for you for the past decade. Quartering a pill is worth the minor inconvenience rather than going through a potential backslide in your hair retention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member paddyirishman Posted January 4, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 4, 2020 There is one big elephant in the room on this one. It's that very small word . ..generic... Never put your trust in any medication that is important to you on this basis. We are lead to believe it's the same, like for like , same amount of active ingredient , and excipents and so on. The pharmaceutical company's are experts at disguising ..like for like. ......... Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
