Well, this might be an extreme worry - and i'm kinda in panic from my hair loss recommencing - but has finasteride ever caused hair loss in anyone? The reason I ask is that my hair loss seemed to go dormant for a good number of years and it's only started up again over the last two months after...

Hi :) is a quarter about the same size as a British penny? The other thing, would it be worth letting it sit in contact with your scalp for a few minutes before rinsing it off? I'm wondering would this lead to more absorption or something. And if you did let remain in contact with your scalp for...

I've been looking into buying some of Cipla's drugs but have been worrying that they may not be legit? Are Cipla known for being a reliable brand? But honestly, and slightly OT, this whole concern over whether the generics on the market are genuine or not is really disconcerting. It's been a...

very impressive results. but is there evidence that finasteride is better at restoring hair growth on the crown than at the hairline?

hi, I'm new here. Jim1447, would you ever worry that Finpecia isn't as good as Merck's Propecia? It's probably just paranoia on my part but my concern is that generic finasteride isn't as reliable or as well produced or something. Also, I was looking at the inhousepharmacy website (out of...

But Cipla's Finpecia seems to be able to be ordered from the UK. Is Finpecia not a genuine generic? Sorry if that's a dumb question, I'm unfortunately new to this all over again.
