    Also bear in mind that boots supply propecia on a patient group directive so have very strict criteria for who they can and can't treat.

    My GP didn't even look at my head b4 he wrote a prescription

There was only a small number of questions, and I couldn't see any of my answers that would flag me as wrong for it. I'm not allergic, I'm old enough....

    I've had rapid loss in the last couple of months and this rejection has crippled me as it was my last hope. Anyone have experience with this?

    PS; Please don't reply with links to generic prescriptions from questionable GPs. Thanks
    Your other option is to do the online questionaire on the Belgravia website and they'll post the treatment out to you - be warned though, Belgravia is expensive.

    Turns out they'll only accept those with temple/front loss, but not those with all over loss, which is strange. Does this mean Propecia isn't effective for the latter? My hair is thinning quite rapidly on the sides.
    Bumping this to see how you're doing? Did you stick with the boots programme, or have you stopped taking fin by now? Thanks.
