Hi I am a total newbie on finasteride and am jlooking to order my first batch of propecia and have signed up to the boots hair retention service , is this the best and easiest route to go ? , 28 1mg tablets is £45 is this about right or am I paying a premium here ? Also is there different types of finasteride and is propecia going to give my my best chance ?

Propecia first timer

The three-month plan at Boots is £90, or £30/month, which may be more expensive than Proscar or other finasteride, but less expensive than obtaining Propecia through other clinics.
I haven't heard about Propecia being prescribed through a regular doctor; at least it's unlikely in the UK. I've heard about Proscar or other finasteride being prescribed through a doctor, but those are unofficial treatments and there's no guarantee they'll hand out a prescription for a cosmetic issue.
As far as the effects on hair loss go, it seems that people here generally contend that Propecia is the same as any other 1mg of finasteride, although the ingredients may technically be different. Also, it hasn't been proven that using a pill-cutter to cut Proscar into fifths results in 1mg finasteride in each fifth; but whether any differences are significant enough for a noticeable effect is also unknown.
