Is generic finasteride really effective?

[woodnor]

Hey guys, I've been taking Proscar for almost 3 years now. I live in Peru. The thing is for the last months Proscar and Propecia have been nowhere to be found, and I think they're not gonna sell it anymore here.

I've always been reluctant of getting generic fin because I've read stories here that it doesn't work. There's also no website that I know of that ships Proscar to Peru.

Now the options for generic fin here are one called Folcres and another one called Lopecia (both are 5mg, for splitting). I think the labs that make them are from South America.

Do you guys know of any of these brands? Is generic fin really effective?
