Generic Proscar or Genuine?

[Sparky]

I've just realised that I have run out of Generic Proscar, should I buy more of the same or would I be better getting the official stuff now? also, where do I get it from now as I have been out of the game for a bit, the stuff I have just run out of I bought 2 years ago.

cheers

I buy my Finasteride from the online store on this site, it works the same as Proscar.

 

[Sparky]

is it exactly the same as proscar though or do they adjust it to get around copyright?

I believe 5mg Finasteride has the same amount of ingredient as Proscar.

I have to disagree that generic is exactly the same as original. I've been talking about this for years because I have personally been involved with multiple cases of "my propecia stopped working" when the patient's Propecia (or Proscar) was actually generic. Once I recommended these patients switch back to name brand, the issues of reduced efficacy disappeared.

Is this the case across the board? Of course not, but it is a real issue for some and I've had patients publicly acknowledge their own similar experiences after I've spoken about it. If you can get name brand Proscar, do it.

Thanks Joe, only just seen this, I'm going to go for the original branded Proscar, I ran out about a month ago so need to get it asap lmao!

You'll need to order well in advance next time.

Don't think I suffered any loss because of this hiccup, will be more careful from now on!
