Question for people in UK
Has anyone used the Boots hair retention programme?
What is it like?
What drug do they give you?
Thank You

Hi Mark,
I joined the hair retention programme with Boots. They give you propecia for £90 (12 weeks) and review with pharmacist to ensure the drug is right for you and working. Besides the quarterly check-ups, it is the most cost effective way to get propecia in the UK. You can also get money off hair loss products like regaine. I would advise you to buy minoxidil in the US though.
Regards,
Zack

That is still an extortionate price for Propecia (Finesteride 1mg) ! Many guys in the UK have obtained Proscar (Finesteride 5mg) from Dr Ashcroft for many years now at a much lower cost. 15 months supply for approx £120. He used to be my GP and is a wealth of knowledge on the subject as has been on the drug himself 15 years+ - His info is on my web site. You can also get Proscar online from a variety of legit sources.
IMHO the Boots program is a hair scam as all the products they sell you can all be obtain at a snip of the cost elsewhere - Any experience UK vet will only confirm this.
Proscar is exactly the same drug as Propecia - you just need to break it into 5ths which really isn't that difficult: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UUjPNTr9eM

Hi Spex,
I agree, Proscar is more cost effective. I would not go as far as calling the boots programme a scam, as to buy propecia only in the UK is £32 for 28 tablets. When you add a private prescription on top, it'll make it nearly £60.
Boots offers the actual propecia (not generic) at £90 for three months, which is reasonable. I was a bit wary about online sites but i think in the longer term I might switch to the generic. Any reputable sites where this can be obtained? How do you find it is working for you?
Cheers

Hi thanks for the reply
Is it legal to prescribe medication to people who are not on your doctors list?
It seems fishy. I'm not saying the guy is a fraud but on the off-chance that the proscar is counterfit and doesn't work.... well at this stage I just can't risk it...
Did his Proscar work for you?

Hi Mark
Go see your own GP first as you can get Proscar for next to nothing as i know a few guys who are doing this.
I will be visiting my GP once my current supply needs replenishing.

Hi, just curious to know if you stuck with the Boots retention programme, or if you're even still taking Fin?
Thanks.
