Concerned about my daily dosage

[misterium]

Hi,

I recently just ran out of Propecia, which I have been taking religiously for about 11 months now.

It may be a few weeks to a couple months before I can get another bottle of the stuff... but I have a bunch of Proscar as reserve (always prepared).

I have about 2 blister packs of Proscar, and about 70 Cipla finasteride pills in my reserve bottle... I am unsure of the Cipla stuff though so I'm just gonna stick to the Proscar til I can get back onto the Propecia again (I simply prefer having a steady dosage and don't mind paying for the brand name).

So, today I had to take a 1/4 Proscar for the first time.. instead of my Propecia 1mg perfect dose.

Should I be at all concerned about this change-up in daily dosage? I don't THINK so, but just in case I want a few other opinions.. obviously the daily dose will be more finasteride than usual since I'm doing 1/4 Proscar and not 1/5.

Any feedback or am I being paranoid?

Thanks!
-Mike

I have taken everything from .25mg a day to 5mg a day and currently I am taking 2mg a day.

I don't mean to discount all those who claim side effects from finasteride, but I simply cannot understand how people have all these problems from 1mg, or are sweating having to take 1.25, etc.

finasteride can be taken in varying doses, and up to 10mgs a day, etc. You may notice an increase in acne or your sex drive may shoot way up, and/or down, etc..but the body is resilient.

In answer to your question, after being on it for 11 months, I simply cannot see how going to 1.25 or even 2mg would do ANYTHING negative to you.

Excellent thanks.

I did not think so either, just checking with others as it were

I've had zero sides at all in my course of these 11 months (that I've noticed, anyway)... my sex drive has been and continues to be extremely strong.. and I don't have acne anymore (already been there and did that in my teens and got it taken care of at about age 20.. I'm 27 now.)

I took Accutane for 4 months straight (strongest dose, back face and back/chest acne in those days) and it basically cured me. Haven't had a zit since.



So no worries on rushing to get a new bottle of Propecia..

I have both real Propecia and then CIPLA fincar...my bigger concern is if the CIPLA stuff is real !

I have alternated taking both. I have ordered of Drugs-one, as suggested on this site, and recently off of 111Drugs, or whatever it is. All I know it, other guys claim to have had success from using CIPLA ordered from the various sites.

I am going to go straight CIPLA soon.

I too ordered my Cipla finasteride from Drugs-One.

At my request, a friend who is from India got me some Fincar when he returned from a trip home. A 10 pack of Fincar costs 100 Rupees which is just over $2. I think all of us should try and befriend our Indian colleagues!
