Also bear in mind that boots supply propecia on a patient group directive so have very strict criteria for who they can and can't treat.

My GP didn't even look at my head b4 he wrote a prescription

I've had rapid loss in the last couple of months and this rejection has crippled me as it was my last hope. Anyone have experience with this?

PS; Please don't reply with links to generic prescriptions from questionable GPs. Thanks
Your other option is to do the online questionaire on the Belgravia website and they'll post the treatment out to you - be warned though, Belgravia is expensive.
