    Default Anyone Buy Propecia (Not the generic kind) In the UK?

    I want to start but I want to buy the more expensive Propecia I understand people say Proscar and various other generic ones are exactly the same and much cheaper but I would like to start with the branded ones.

    If you do buy the branded propecia where do you get it from?

    I've seen it here:-

    http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/prope...s_4_11992.html

    http://www.privatemeds.co.uk/propecia.html

    Anyone tried them?

    thanks a lot.

    standbyme,

    Honestly there is NO need to buy the branded version unless you seriously have money to burn. Many guys just cut Proscar into 5ths. It is the SAME drug, finesteride.

    Speak to Dr Ashcroft in the UK - he has been prescribing UK guys for over 10 years and knows a great deal about the drugs and their effectiveness. He will put your mind at ease if no-one here can.

    Link here to his info :

    All the very best

    Thanks Spex.

    Its just I've read about people who started with the branded then switched to the cheaper Proscar and had bad reactions and felt the proscar was less affective. I have also read about people recieving bad batches of proscar and feeling uneasy about the quality.

    I have no doubt there are cowboy companies selling proscar.

    Thats why i buy mine from Dr Ashcroft who sells the merck branded Proscar.

    It is JUST as EFFECTIVE as Propecia. Its the same drug.

    Make sure you compare eggs with eggs in this equation and not eggs with oranges

    Ok sounds good I read his info but I don't quite understand:-

    I can supply 3 packs of proscar for £120, 4 for £150, (Merk)


    I can supply generics.Note, I only supply UK sourced finasteride generics that are licenced by the MHRA for, and used by the NHS. I can supply 3 packs for £80, 4 packs for £100, 6 packs for £140, for the long term client.

    Doe's his mean he can supply proscar from merck and a different kind from elsewhere?

    Thanks again Spex.

    Just out of curiosity how many people who start Propecia go to their doc's for blood tests etc?

    Hello mate,

    I am currently using proscar (2.5mg everyday), minoxidil and nizoral and I'm feeling positive about the results, if I don't get the regrowth I want then I will look at HT in the future.

    I have used this site for many products (I'm a recreational bodybuilder) and it is good to go, some products are cheap and some are expensive, so shop around before you buy. They are a uk company but are based overseas. Delivery has always been within 2 weeks.

    Good luck...
