    Default Switching from generic to brand name Propecia. Assistance please

    I have been on a very low dose of generic Propecia for several years and have to say I am pretty happy. I had my DHT level checked and it was so low the lab sent an alert with the results. I am taking 1/2 of a 1 mg pill every other day verses the recommended dose of 1 mg every day. I am thinking about trying brand name just to see if there is any difference. At 64 I am always looking for more hair! I would take the same low dose. I have heard that some people who switch from brand name to generic see a negative result Anyone have experience switching from generic to brand name.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey,

    Everyone is different and responds differently.

    Ideally take branded version of fin and 1mg recommended dose daily whether that's Propeica or cut Proscar into 5ths as then you know where you are at and no need to constantly second guess yourself... ;-)
