Any difference from generic finasteride from propecia?
Just switched from propecia to generic form and im kinda nervous if it will mess up my progress.

Yes, the price is different.
-
size of the pill is different too lol
-
You mean the size of the generic 5mg pill vs the 1mg Propecia pill?
I never bought generic 1mg so I wouldn't know the size diff. But I do remember Propecia pills being really small.

Noticed a Difference
I began using generic 1 mg finasteride around 2 months ago, after my drugstore began to carry it. The manufacturer's name was Dr. Reddy's Lab. I switched, thinking that I would finally be able to save money (around $25 a month). Around the 3rd month, I began to notice significant thinning again (which I hadn't seen in almost 10 years). Of course, I got scared and switched back to Propecia. I'm not sure if this was just a coincidence, but I'm not willing to take any chances, especially with my hair. My questions are, will what I lost grow back, and has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks

Correction - I began using generic 1 mg finasteride around "3" months ago....

Generic Fin from either Cipla (brand name - Finpecia) or Dr Reddy Labs is legit and is same thing. Both are highly reputed pharma companies in India.
I switched to Finpecia several years ago and get same results.

Noticed a Difference
It's very stressful! I understand that the generic is manufactured by a legit company, my concern is the possibility of my body's DHT production switching back into gear. From what I've read, a generic is required to have the same "active ingrediant" to be accepted by the FDA. However, the molecular structure of that compound mixing with the "non-active" ingredient(s) can be different, meaning a slightly different reaction. I'm just concerned because I've come so far and would hate to regress.
Thanks
