Efficacy of Dr Reddy's (generic) finasteride

[ziggs11]

For my fin friends and others,

In January (2013)I was surprised to find that my propecia scrip costs 71 instead of $88. Open the bag and its a new generic fin from Dr Reddys (India-based, global). All is well and good.

Two months later, I could swear my loss had accelerated. Had some ungodly shower sheds. I'm usually all for the generic but I couldn't shake my gut feeling that my loss had picked up. I was wondering if anyone else had any similar experiences with Dr Reddys after switching from the brand.

Me: USA. 24 y/o, propecia since 19, don't think I've lost a hair in the back 2/3 while on fin since I started thinning at 17-18 y/o. Front third still creeping back slowly.

Thanks.

Iv'e used Dr Reddys before here in the UK and i didn't experience any problems.....you may just have been experiencing a normal shed, keep a close eye on things dude and if it continues then maybe try and change brands.

I have been using Dr Reddy Fin (India-based global ) since June 2012 and I did have an Initial shed but I have to say that everything stabilised after a little while and its been fine ,hope things settle down and as BN stated keep an eye on it and if your still not happy change it

Take care I care

I remember when i first started on finasteride. I had a massive shed in the frontal third zone which never grew back.

I went from Not to having to use concealer in a matter of weeks. Realise it was hair probably on its way out but it definitly accelerated the loss.

Something to bear in mind is the inital shed it can induce but hopefully it stabilises for you.

Dr Arvind should be able to help i would have thought if you consult with them.



Hows the loss with the generic source now Ziggs?

Didn't want to find out, so I just ask for the Merck version now, its only $15 difference.
