Hi,

I'm sorry if a thread designated to this already exists (I didn't find advanced search option here, so if it exists, please let me know and this can be deleted).

This could be a good place to post experiences from online pharmacies and their drugs for others to see.


Well, I'm personally concerned and would like to hear from others about unitedpharmacies.co.uk. I have ordered "Fistide" from them, the service was great, the pill packages looks legit/quality made etc... one thing though, I started to take it and I don't seem to notice any sides or any changes of how I feel at all, so I'm thinking maybe I've received the fake drug..?

However I've read many testimonials of others confirming that unitedpharmacies.co.uk is legit and their drugs are definitely working. So I'm willing to order from them again, but other drug as I suspect "Fistide" in particular might be fake or low-quality..
So I'm thinking of ordering some finasteride of more known companies like Dr. Reddy's, Cipla, or Merck and see if I can notice any difference.

Just a quick question: what's the difference between these to?:

http://www.unitedpharmacies.co.uk/product.php?productid=9&cat=0&page=2
Both seem to be made by Merck, nearly the same number of pills (28/30), but the price difference is more than double...


It would be really great to hear from everyone who ordered some specific finasteride from unitedpharmacies.co.uk, and how is it working for you. Thanks.

Many guys here trusted inhousepharmacy and ended with fake pills. What's the point of risking it? You will never know for sure that you got legit stuff. Get proscar

I've heard only good things about unitedpharmacies.co.uk (unlike .com), but just wanted to hear more experiences..

I'm going to order Proscar this time, but it's a little confusing to me as there are 3 Proscars, which all seem to be made by Merck but with different prices, anyone knows anything about it?

Here are those 3:

http://www.unitedpharmacies.co.uk/product.php?productid=9&cat=0&page=2
http://www.unitedpharmacies.co.uk/product.php?productid=1286&cat=0&page=2

(I can understand the small price difference might be because of the country of origin, but it's quite strange when 28 pills cost £40 and 30 pills cost £100...)

I get all my stuff from 4rx.com It's pretty legit.
Can you confirm the drug is working for you? (results or sides)
What product do they sell? (it only says "Generic Propecia", and made by Cipla)
Also, where do they ship from? (United Pharmacies delivered from Honk Kong to me)

I'm also quite amazed with huge price differences between the pharmacies.. Inhouse Pharmacy sells 30x5mg pills for $110 (Proscar); 4rx.com for $30; United Pharmacies for ~$60 (Proscar). - WTF ?!!!

No problem! If you want my full story, then check out my post in "Success Stories"

They ship from India. They also have a pretty responsive online chat/help, so you might try asking them any tough questions that you can think of as well.

viewtopic.php?f=30&t=65594

2 money saving tips if you decided to go with 4rx
1: Let's say you want 180 caps. Add the 90 caps to your cart instead. It will take you to a checkout page, but it will also give you a chance to upgrade your order to 180 pills for $20 cheaper (or do the same trick for a year's supply by adding 180 to cart, then upgrading to 360 for $40 cheaper)

2: Use the promo code Q52EM37T during checkout for another 10% off. That's my promo code that I got for being a return customer, so feel free to use it :)

when it finally arrives i'll be switching from from 1.25mg finasteride to 1.0mg dutasteride from unitedpharmacies.com

i plan on taking both for about a week or so [since it takes dutasteride a while to build up]. then after a month of pure dutasteride go get my T levels checked to ensure that DHT is blocked correctly and get an idea of where i stand. hopefully that doesn't cost too much [i haven't done it]

Wow, you had great results, and you've mentioned you had ball ache, which is a clear sign the finasteride is working - I'm definitely doing my next order from 4rx.com. And thanks for the ordering tricks ;)
You didn't mention however, what is the finasteride brand they're selling and you're using? (you know, there is Proscar, Finpecia, Fincar, Fistide, etc., etc.)

Also, what is the shipping time, how long it took to arrive to you? (btw, where are you? I'm in Europe)

I don't remember what the brand was...but I want to say the ones I got were Finpecia.

I'm talking to their online support right now, and this is the answer that I got

"We have more than one supplier for the same medication and we ship out according to the availability of the stock. We carry generic Propecia manufactured by GenPharma, Sunrise, Cipla and Intas Lab Pvt."


I'm really not sure when I noticed the crown filling in a bit more. I would take a picture of my hair probably 4-5 times a DAY when I first started, I was that troubled by it. I didn't notice anything for the first few months, and then I kinda just forgot about it. (the whole "a watched pot never boils" concept). I think I really noticed that it was a bit fuller probably 6-8 months after I started.

Also, it's still thinner than the rest of my hair, but I now have enough there that I have decent coverage. It's not a miracle drug that is guaranteed to regrow 100% of your hair. Just remember, it's 500x easier to MAINTAIN hair than it is to regrow. I wish I could turn back the clock to when I was 22 so that I could start before there was any noticeable loss.

Do you remember if your Finpecia looked like this?:

As I understand you were always buying/taking 1mg pills? Never tried buying 5mg pills and cutting them in quarters? (it's cheaper this way)

Dammit, neither 4rx.com or Inhouse ship to my country... I'm now left with United...
Any more reliable pharmacies?

4rx only ships the blister packs themselves. They put them in a flat brown envelope so that it makes it through customs easier.

I've only used 4rx, since I live in the US, so I'm not sure what other company would ship to you. I assume that you're in Canada?

Nope, I'm in Lithuania (EU). United Pharmacies shipped to me with no problems, but after hearing good things from you about 4rx I wanted to try them this time. I contacted their support and they don't ship to a number of countries (many European countries, Canada, etc.), well I guess it's their policy, the support said it's because of the customs, but yet again I got no problems with customs when ordering from United..

Could you take a look at the pictures in my above post - is this the Finpecia you were using?
