Hello all,
I've been on quartered Proscar 5mg (1.25mg a day) for the past year. I just renewed my prescription and noticed that this pharmacy used Dr. Reddy's generic finasteride 5mg. The good thing about Dr. Reddy's was the price, which was nearly 1/4 the cost of Proscar for a year's supply.
This made me curious about others' experiences with Dr. Reddy's? Has anyone been on Dr. Reddy's for more than a few months? Or, did anyone switch and notice any changes in effectiveness?
I realize this question has been asked on here before, and that some people will swear that switching from brand name to generics (or from generics to brand name) caused more hair loss. I've seen people on various forums that were adamant that switching from Proscar to Dr. Reddy's caused more loss. I've also seen people who swore that switching from Propecia to Proscar caused loss. I'm not sure what to think about all of this, as I know that it is the same active ingredient, and in my case it will also be the same dosage that I've taken for the past year. I was more hoping to get someone's input on Dr. Reddy's finasteride - preferably someone who has taken it for a while.
