I don't think Cipla, the billion dollar multinational pharmaceutical company (that makes Finpecia/Fincar) that has been around since 1935 is going to risk it's reputation by faking an inexpensive drug like finasteride. But I agree, if you have the access and extra money for brand name that's the best way to go. Also agree on taking finasteride. Glad I got on it a few years ago.

You would think propecia would be below 30 a month by now but I guess there still arent enough generic manufacturers yet.

so i had my Propecia script, that I have been paying $95+ for 30 tabs at RiteAid, filled at Walmart in south central PA with generic today.
$73.18 for 30 tabs.
I called a month ago and the Pharmacist said forty something for 30 tabs, so this was a shock today.
I have been on it for almost 10 years now and haven't lost any more hair since, so it's worth it to me, but a price break would be nice.

Its kind of ridiculous that a drug actually keeps its same price for 20 years. The patent system is a mess as usual for anything politicians touch, and actually discourages innovation for decades.

Its 2014 now. How many generic manufacturers are there right now just reddy and merck still?
