Senior Member lost my swagger Posted December 17, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2009 ----- i guess the question i should have asked this whole time is 'whats that WHITE crap ive been stuffing down my throat this whole thing! anyway spex my pill does not even look like yours either its looong and blue.. imagine a thin long rectangle but with rounded edges(if that makes sense)... anyone else have proscar shaped like that?? i dont know much about Rx so i dont know if its common to have different variations of the same medication i guess. *** RESULTS WILL 100%, without a DOUBT, VARY*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Maxxy Posted December 17, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2009 I've been buying Proscar for years, they have always looked like the one in the photo. I've had them from Farjo, various online stores, and pharmacies in Thailand and Spain - they have never changed for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member fixing-it Posted December 20, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 20, 2009 When I went to see Hasson in feb. 2008 and started on proscar I used the drug store right down the street from them and subsequently kept ordering from them for over a year and they were just like the blue ones pictured,Then I switched to my local pharmacy [riteaid] this past summer and they were the round white pills.I do know the blues cut up better and easier....

Dr Hasson 2-08 So are the white ones still OK or are they junk? I've just got my prescription from a Canadian Pharmacy and I got these circle white ones... WHat gives here?

Senior Member Maxxy Posted January 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hey Mrgiant, I have also replied to your thread in the hair loss drug section. If you purchased them from a genuine pharmacy, I wouldn't be overly concerned, however, as I stated in the other thread - every Merck branded Proscar I have seen has been the of the blue type as pictured in my above post.

Senior Member hdude46 Posted January 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2010 Mine are blue but they are long and oval. They are dr. reddy generic and i get them from my local pharmacy. ive been on them 6 months and i cant tell if they are working or not. some days i feel like they are, others i dont. im taking pictures to keep track. everyone tells me the generics are fine as long as they are from a legit source, which they are, but i kinda was expecting to see better results, or atleast results where i knew it was working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Timothy Carman Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Note this is a "generic" 1 mg finasteride tablet. Interesting, since there is an active patent on Merck's 1 mg tablet, "Propecia", and producing, distributing and selling of a 1mg finasteride formulation I believe is not legal. (This may be why it says for export only.)So you would need to be careful when it comes to the one mg finasteride "generics".

Dr. Timothy Carman Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Generics can vary widely-possibly in more ways than appearances alone as well, I believe.
