I was using the same pharmacy: Walgreens. I saw dermatologist today and she said that 0.25mg dosage shouldn't make much difference and she doesn't think generic vs brand should matter, but said theoretically if somehow I wasn't assimilating full dosage I could lose some ground and said that I...

My story: Been on Propecia for the past 8 years (not much change to hair during that time) until my GP suggested I save money by switching to generic finasteride (which I stupidly accepted): 12/05/2013 - Switched to Finasteride 5mg (divided by 4) 04/14/2014 - Refilled Finasteride (Different...

From what I read online and from what my doctor said while there maybe a difference in inactive ingredients between brand name drug and generic the active ingredient has to be the same. Moreover, generic drug has to pass the same tests that name brand drug passed and basically it has to have the...

Don't think you read my post well, kind sir. I never stopped any treatment. Just switched out propecia to 1/4 proscar for 5 months and then hopped back on Propecia. Just started doing Rogaine 2x a day instead of 1x. One more question for folks here though (maybe a little dumb): I always only...

My story in short: I am 33, noticed slight receding hairline when I was around 24-25. Propecia for the past 7-8 years, rogaine once a day. Never was sure if either of those are doing anything, but nothing much was changing with hair so I was happy with that. Switched to proscar divided by 4...

Any other feedback guys? I keep freaking out that my hair loss will progressively get worse and I get bald in the coming 3-4 months (I just switched back to propecia a week ago)

Didn't really think it was related to the age :-O if it is true then good. Thank you! - - - Updated - - - This is comforting: I guess/hope it was mainly psychological. Everyone I asked said they notice no change. I guess I will keep taking propecia and start using rogaine twice a day and may...

stop dht, thanks, but what do you mean 33 is too late for hairloss? Also, anyone here ever switched from Rogaine once a day to twice a day? I wonder if this can help a bit. - - - Updated - - - Hi, I ordered finasteride from the same place I ordered propecia: Walgreens, so I am sure there is...

I am 33 now and the first time I noticed my receding hairline was around 24-25. I started taking propecia around that time and generally always noticed that my hair line was receded. I also used 5mg minoxidril (Walgreens brand) sporadically (usually once a day or once every two days). To be...
