    Costco Generic Finasteride Triples In Price?

    So, I've been paying 24 bucks for 90 tablets of 1mg Finasteride from Costco's online pharmacy. I just received an email saying the new price is $65 for 90 tablets. Has anyone else experienced this or is it just in my area? It seems beyond strange that the cost of a generic medication would...

    Recent experiences with generic propecia

    I was on Propecia from May of 1999 up to February of 2013, so about 14 years. Worked fantastic. For all intents and purposes at age 43 I look like I have a normal head of hair. At age 28 I looked like I was going bald, because I WAS GOING BALD. Thankfully I've never had any side effects at all...

    Dr. Reddy's Generic Finasteride Led to Shedding

    If anyone is interested a second generic just entered the market, "Accord Health Care". CVS seems to have now replaced Dr. Reddy's with this, as I, as well as others I know were given this brand when filling our last prescriptions. As far as those still questioning Dr. Reddy's, Dr . Reddy is...

    Dr. Reddy's Generic Finasteride Led to Shedding

    Just thought I'd add my 2 cents to perhaps comfort some people's fears over using generic meds. -According to the FDA currently 84% of all prescriptions filled in the US are for generics, and this number is expected to rise. That means people with heart problems, cancer, HIV etc. are using...

    Why has cost of Dr.Reddy's generic Propecia gone UP?

    Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. So as most know, Dr. Reddy's Labs introduced generic Propecia in February I believe. They had an exclusive right to it for 6 months during which time the generic only cost a little less than regular Propecia. For me it was $69.99 for the...

    What are your experiences with Dr. Reddy's finasteride?

    Been taking Dr. Reddy's for 6 months now. Had been on Propecia for over a decade before the switch. Haven't noticed any difference. In fact my hair looks a bit better since I started it.

    Experiences after switching from Merck to Dr Reddy's Propecia?

    Approaching three months on the Generic after over a decade on Propecia. So far everything exactly the same. Hair just as good, if not better, still no sides.

    The new 1mg Generic Propecia does not work?

    Almost 80% of all prescriptions filled in this country are generic (http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/BuyingUsingMedicineSafely/UnderstandingGenericDrugs/ucm167991.htm) If generics were this risky venture you'd think a good chunk of the country would be be up in arms to due to...

    Dr. Reddy's Generic Finasteride Led to Shedding

    Sorry to hear that. I've been on Dr.Reddy for over two months after being on Propecia for over 10 years and thankfully see no difference. In fact my hair seems to be in a phase where it's looking extra good. I have no clue if this is due to the generic, but my hair does in fact look a bit better...

    Experiences after switching from Merck to Dr Reddy's Propecia?

    Been on Dr. Reddy brand for over 2 months now. Still no change. At least for me just as effective as Propecia. I know a lot of people get concerned about the generic not being made in the US, but if you look on your Propecia bottle (Merck) you'll see it says right on the bottle "Finasteride...

    Jenny McCarthy calls out Propecia

    Also, how many people have had really bad experiences with breast implants? Notice she doesn't call that industry out. Oh yeah, that's because she has them and likes them and thus has nothing to say about it.

    Experiences after switching from Merck to Dr Reddy's Propecia?

    I've been taking the Dr. Reddy generic for 6 weeks now, after having been on Propecia since may of 1999. So far just as effective as Propecia and still no sides.

    Generic Propecia at Walgreens, is it the same?

    I just picked up mine from CVS and I also got the generic, without even asking for it. Cost $69.99 for 30 tablets instead of the usual $90.00. Dr. Reddy labs has an exclusivity right for 6 months, at the end of which more generics will enter the market. According to the FDA web site as soon as...
