37 - Just Went To Dermatologist

[James1313]

Personally I use generic fin and I think it is working great. Others only use the name brand stuff. I honestly don't think there is a difference as long as you are getting the stuff from a reputable pharmacy.

There are some that will disagree with me, but I believe in the documented statistics. Sides will happen, but the percentage is low.

You mean Proscar, the generic version, right? I'm not trying to play twenty questions, but there's so much stuff online, especially anecdotal evidence and horror stories.

What about Rogaine in your opinion? Just trying to cross my t's and dot my i's.

Ask all the questions you need to, somebody will usually have an answer for you. Yeah, I use generic proscar(fincar I believe). I also use generic minoxidil. I have both the foam and liquid. Again, I think the generic is just as effective.

I'll probably go with the generic. I see it comes in 5mg tablets. That means I'd need a pill cutter, right? .5mg is a whole lot of cutting.

I'm going to wait until I get my results back from the endocrinologist about my thyroid.

I suppose you could split the pills with a knife, but it is pretty easy with a pill cutter. It will run you a couple of bucks.

James-
There is both generic Proscar (5mg) and generic propecia (1mg). I have used both . Generic is fine as long as it is legit. I personally use inhouse and they have been fine. Proscar is cheaper but because I wanted a low dose this time, I went with generic propecia (called Finpecia at inhouse) because it is easier to cut in smaller doses. And because I am using a smaller dose, the price is not a big deal. At a small dose, I seeing improvements, but it is slow. I take .25mg normally 2x a week, but sometimes I will only do it 1x a week-forgot a couple of times.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I was under the impression I would have to dose at 1mg per day, but I see guys on here are dosing at .25 - .50 a few times per week and seeing results. I guess it depends on the severity of the hair loss.
