Hi all,
I just saw a hair restoration surgeon, who prescribes me Propecia, despite never opting for an hair transplant. Something he said today was a revelation. I began brand name Propecia back in August of 2012, .5mg a day, and in early February, switched over to generic 1mg Propecia when it came out. Well, my doctor said he had heard via an e-mail group with other doctors that the new generic form is not effective. One doctor, in particular, had several patients who lost their gains while on it. My doctor was befuddled as to why Merck would license out the drug to this company. Perhaps, I have been able to see the difference in the two months. Anyone else have a bad experience with the generic?
Thanks,
Dan
