Generic Propecia :S

[Alexanderlondon]

Hi guys,

I'm a 21 y/o student and my hairloss has, unfortunately, already started. I have very few funds but I wanted to tackle the problem so i've bought generic propecia (as I can't afford the brand version), i've just received 'Proscalpin', which I imagine is a common generic brand. Can anyone give me any feedback on whether it works? It says on the packaging that it's 1mg of finasteride, all responses welcome!

Alex

If it is 1mg finasteride than it is 1mg finasteride. Only way it won't work as well as propecia or any other brand is if it is fake. If you are paranoid of this you could send it to some toxicology lab or get a blood test after a month or so to confirm it is real.

Hello!
Yes, Proscalpin is the same Propecia. The matter is that generic medications are produced by different manufacturers who use different names for their products. We use the active ingredient of the medication which is Finasteride 1 mg, not its name.
May I ask you, where do you buy it? Is it an online pharmacy?

Several people on this board have reported that the generic finasteride has not worked for them as well as propecia brand. See these threads:

Hi BaldDonald, I won't specify the website but yes it was an online pharmacy! Where do you get your information from may I ask?

Alex, does Proscalpin seem legit? I just ordered my second year of generics and received "proscalpin" instead of the "finpecia" I was taking. I'm much more skeptical about this generic, the package is goofy, and the pharma company is totally unknown. Before I was taking something as common as Dr. Reddys

BaldDonald is just a shill for the company, no reason to think he is telling the truth.
