Senior Member Balboa Posted December 15, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 15, 2009 I was just speaking to the U.K rep from BHR (Dr. Bisangas Clinic) And spoke to him about a number of topics one being Finasteride. He said he has a bad experiance with Fincar quite a number of years ago and came off them he now only takes SAW PALMETTO. I am a little concerned about this becuase i take Fincar as my source of Finasteride. i take 2.5mg once every 2 days as advised by Mick from Farjo. Has anyone here heard anything bad about Fincar from the indian drug company CIPLA I trusted these tablets becuase they were manurfactured by CIPLA and i have used there ACCUTANE in the past that has served me well so couldnt see any reason not to trust there version of Finasteride.

Senior Member Maxxy Posted December 15, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 15, 2009 When he speaks of a bad experience resulting from Fincar, does he not actually mean he had a bad experience with Finasteride? The fact that he now takes Saw Palmetto would suggest this is the case and that he isn't actually referring to a bad experience with a particular brand (it just happens he was taking Fincar).

Senior Member Balboa Posted December 15, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 15, 2009 no sorry i didnt put that clearly enough thanks for bringing that up. His problems were not with Finasteride itself just fincar he said he had horrible dry mouth and felt bad on it. he went back to Proscar but he now only takes Saw Palmetto becuase he has beard hair on his haid and Beard Hair needs DHT he says so he was trying to get a balance Dr A.

Senior Member Anouar Posted December 17, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2009 Balboa, I used 5mg Fincar from Cipla for years and I had no problems. I still use 5mg today. I get it from my pharmacy but its dr. Reddy's which also comes from a Pharmaceutical company in India. I forgot to mention I don't have any issues with Dr. Reddy's either. Hope this helps.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted December 17, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2009 Just be careful where you get your Finasteride from. I've heard that the drug is one of the most faked drugs on the market. I really can only trust my Pharmacy to be honest.

Senior Member Balboa Posted December 18, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2009 cheers guys. its very risky for indian companys (CIPLA) to fake drugs as faking drugs over in india gets you the death penelty.
