Hi, I started losing my hair when I was around 20. I am now 34. I used rogaine for a few months back in my mid-twenties, but it was still prescription only then, and too expensive. It made my head red, irritated. So I quit. Then a few years ago, I started using a "hair system." It looked pretty good, but was very expensive and made me feel self-conscious, even more so than the hair loss. So I gave that up too. I recently, for no reason other than my own "hunches" decided to start putting green tea on my bald spot (and I drink it too). I actually started seeing some very slight increased growth! Then, I started reading up online about hair loss treatments. Now, after reading so much on these and other forums, I have decided to take the plunge into propecia, minoxidil, and dutasteride (which I will add to the minoxidil for a topical application).
I am concerned about which vendors to buy from, and which generics are reputable and "the real thing." I researched Cipla (maker of Fincar and Finpecia, generic finasteride) and Ranbaxy (maker of Dutagen-generic dutasteride) online, and they both seem to be reputable Indian drug manufacturers.
Does anyone here have any long-term experience with these generic brands? I don't want to waste my money trying to save it.
And does anyone have any experience with these vendors: http://www.housepharmacy.com, http://www.globaldrug.tv, and http://www.propecia-for-hair.com? Or does anyone recommend another one? I really want to avoid a doctor visit for this.
Thanks in advance for any advice or comments.
