In case you were not aware of it that same manufacturer, Cipla, also manufactures a generic Proscar under the name Fincar which like finpecia is much less expensive then the original.

Hair and nails are somewhat similar in their genetic make up. You can buy supplements that help with the growth of healthy strong hair and nails, typically these products contain high levels of Biotin. I am not saying it will stop hair loss but it is very possible you are deficient in biotin.
