I might have shot myself in the foot.

I went and ordered Generic brand of Propecia (Cipla) from what I read on some websites it supposed to have the same effect is this correct?
what's the difference between and proscar? Should I have ordered proscar which one if them is superior?

Now If I start using Cipla Propecia and find side effects can I just stop using the product or do I have to go through a cycle of some sort?

Last question I use Rogaine, where I apply it which is the temple area, the hair goes dry broom like, is that meant to happen I'm not destroying my hair more?
Which kind of minoxidil should I be using is Rogaine the best or Dr. Lees? or are they all the same?

In terms of their effectiveness they are all the same, as long as you stick to 5%. Some of the generics may have slight differences in the thickness of the liquid. Dr Lee's formula has a different viscosity that some people prefer, and tends to dry a lot faster on the scalp. The down side is that it is a bit more runny than the baseline Rogaine. Dr Lee's is also good for people who get a reaction from the PPG, one of the carrier substances, in baseline Rogaine. As to which form of 5% minoxidil to use, it is merely a matter of personal preference.

Cipla contains the same compound found in Propecia. There is no discernable difference between the two. If you have side effects that are serious enough that you dont want to give your body a chance to balance out, you can quit immediatly.
