    Fincar Finpecia questions

    Gosh, I thought I was tripping the first time I saw the snowflakes on these pages! Eggnog shouldn't cause that! LOL About Cipla, the way I understand it, Cipla just uses a different "manufacturing process" to make the same drugs. That's the way the patent system in India works. As long as...

    Had Regimen but lost health insurance

    I wouldn't fake any prescriptions. You may wind up with bigger problems than hair loss. As has been mentioned a couple of times on this board by different folks, hair transplant surgeons often offer a free consultation. They will also write a prescription for a years worth of Propecia during the...

    Proscar pharmacists, and crushing pills

    If you feel you need to crush you pills, crush one and then divide it into 5ths with a razor blade on a flat dry surface. Then carefully scoop up each pile with the blade and put the material into empty gel caps. You can make your own capsules that way. If you can't find any empty gel caps...

    generic cipila finasteride??

    I read on one of the pharmacy sites where at the first of the year, India is bringing their patent laws in line with the rest of the world. Cipla simply using a "different manufacturing process" to produce the same drug may not cut it then. That's one reason why I bought a years supply. For you...

    Parasites and hair loss

    I read the article. Does anyone know what kind of hormones are given to treat a Low Thyroid condition? Just for curiosity's sake, would finasteride help or hurt someone with that condition if it went undiagnosed?

    Hairsoreal or Toppik?

    I don't much about either product, but you might want to see social_drinker's pix in this thread: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/discussions ... 7&start=10 Looks like Toppik used in conjuntion with Couvre' is working well for him!

    Questions from new, worried finasterid-user.

    Scarpro, You sure you don't work for the makers of Procerin or Avacor? Just kidding. :lol: I hope it all works out for you. I just finished my first week on finasteride and no sides yet. Where is some wood? I need to knock on it.

    Gentle there are hairs sleeping!

    When my hair started thinning three years ago, I quit blowing drying my hair (except on rare occasions) and started letting it dry on its own. After a shower, I comb it once into place and let it dry. I figured all the extra brushing during blow drying was just going to pull out more hair. I...

    side effects of finasteride

    Sorry I wasn't more clear. I said what I did because you said you have felt no side effects at all. Then you went on to say that you hair had gotten worse. I was just trying to assure you that something must be going on. Otherwise you wouldn't be losing more hair right now. I don't guess...

    side effects of finasteride

    If you are losing more hair than before, that could be considered a side effect. Just this morning I read in another thread where two or three people were talking about an initial three week shed. Sounds like things are moving for you. It just gets worse before it gets better.

    the BIG 3 month update.

    Thanks for the report! It good to see another story of positive results. The people with good results get happy and tend to go on with their lives without coming back here to talk about it. While those with sides or no luck, usually will. I bet the positive stories far outweigh the negative...

    Anyone else have fatigue on finasteride?

    Mine look just like that and do taste a little bitter. Got them from United Pharmacies here: http://www.menspharmacy.com/prostate/pr ... incar.html They ship from Figi. 7.50 for airmail shipping. Delivered in 8 days to the US. I saw another place that had free shipping. No time to look...

    Anyone else have fatigue on finasteride?

    I'm on my fourth day on finasteride. Just took 1.25mg on an empty stomach and I feel like I'm on speed or something! I hope fatigue doesn't set in during the coming weeks, because before I started the finasteride, I already felt quite fatigued on most days. I'm probably feeling close to what normal should be...

    how did u first notice you were losing hair

    Diffuse thinning is also called FPB (female pattern baldness). Instead of the horsehoe thinning in the front and a round bald patch in the back, like with male pattern baldness, diffuse thinners have their hair gradually thin out all over the top of the head. Lots of men suffer from diffuse thinning.
