propecia vs. finasteride....are they the same thing?

[brew13]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but i've been reading in some of these forums and people seem to use the terms propecia and finasteride interchangably...are they the same antiadrgoen?

Thanks!

Yes this is a stupid question simply because giving "propecia" to google will answer your question with the first link (wikipedia)..(hope you can read) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finasteride
