Anybody consume PROPERCIA before?

[gajah]

Guys,

Actually, there is a substitute for Propecia. The active ingredient of Propecia is Finasteride and can also be found in another medicine called Proscar. Propecia is a spin off from Proscar as Proscar contains 5mg of Finasteride while Propecia is only 1mg.

Proscar is commonly used to treat the enlargement of the prostrate glands which are only found in men. Thus, you will notice that Propecia is only used for hair loss treatment for men. Doctors using Proscar to treat patients found that it also induces hair growth, and that caused the Propecia spin off.

Anyway, you can buy Proscar for about 30% of the cost of Propecia for a month's treatment. A box of about 28 tablets will cost about SGD$100.00 but you can cut it into 4 or 5 pieces, meaning it would last you 4 to 5 months if you take it daily.

I started off on Propecia and am now on Proscar, there is no difference and no damage to libido. I have 3 kids since taking Propecia, so that should be proof?? I have been on Propecia since 2004 and till now, no side effects. GPs normall scorn when they hear that I am using Proscar as you are basically depriving them from profits from the sale of Propecia. One GP even told me that Propecia is time released and Proscar is not, which is BS.

Hope this helps!! Cheers!

Grow, hair grow!!

My personal experience. I took Propecia for almost 18 months, no visible improvement, my hair still dropped considerably during the trial.

And, I was not even properly advised that, this pill has to be taken on a long term basis, and if you stop the consumption, your hair condition might get worse. But, the Doctor did say it might affect your sex libido.

Well.. after 18 months, I just stopped the consumption - hack care!

Hahaha, hair come out but shit cannot come out! Maybe the shit has been converted into hair then come out from the top

Hair loss can be due to many causes :

Sleeping late; Lack of essential nutrients in the diet; Stress and worries; Too frequent washing of hair; using the unsuitable type of shampoo; poor health and old age.

My case is unique. Using the wrong type of hair growth lotion.

My GP quoted me $100/box when i need new supply of propecia recently...

WTF!! So i decided to seek alternative sources. Asked my fren to ask in thailand, only about 1200B. Which is about $50. Then I went over to the causeway to ask the pharmacy there, about $65/box. So decided to get a few boxes from JB first then buy somemore in thailand.

Next round I will buy Proscar and use pill splitter to divide into 4 portions. Save even more $$$

I have used propecia for a few years and after seeing improvement, I stopped using for about 2 years. Lately notice hair getting lesser, so decided to take propecia again.

I have started using propecia for few months. My scalp used to be very oily and quite a fair bit of danduffs. But has improved quite significantly. Since Thailand is so cheap, will consider to visit there one of these day.

a point to note for Proscar.. pls be careful when splitting it into 4 portions..

was told by my doc that it has an adverse effect on women (thus it is proscar or propecia is not prescibed to women for hair problems).. so if there are women folks at your home, do not let them have contact with your medicine..

otherwise, proscar is definately a cheaper alternative to propecia..

Bro,

how effective is proscar over propecia? In term of pricing, i think the propecia is more expensive.
