Well, i finally got my prescription for real Proscar a few weeks ago and got my first batch. The only bad thing is that these pills are the long cylinder shaped ones (produced by Teva). They are a little harder to cut but i'll bear with it. Next time I'll be sure to request the round ones as...

Well, I am starting to become paranoid over using Indian generics so I finally decided to take the plunge and just get real proscar (but US generic of course). However, I don't feel like the hastle of going to my doctor so I want to just do the medical wellness center thing. However, once I...

How do they know for sure its "cosmetic"? People of all ages can have strange medical problems.

I don't believe my dads is for BPH. He used to take propecia and then get Proscar now. I could just say its for "oversensitivity to male androgens" or "to control excess DHT per the doctor's orders" haha well, i wouldn't really by lying.

My dad just got a years supply of proscar for $10. He used to take propecia but learned from me about the miracle pill cutting technique. I can't believe this. I pay more than that for about 4 months worth of fincar. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience getting proscar covered by...

I order Riteaid minoxidil for the first time from drugstore.com but had always used real rogaine in the past. Everything seems fine except i'm disappointed there is no "tall black cap" like real rogaine has. How are you supposed to store this stuff? Do you place the white cap back on or...

I have experienced no sexual side effects so far from using 1.25 grams of cipla fincar each day. Erection is fine and semen quantity and quality seems the same. I wouldnt know I was on anything at all. My back acne and shoulder acne has also cleared up which is a great plus. Hope all...

Is this the type that is also responsible to acne? I am positive my back acne and shoulder acne has disappeared because of finasteride and there is noway it is a coincidence. However, my skin is still medium to overly oily as before.

any link to a study showing oxidation is bad? After all, how protective is the outer layer of the pill from these "negative" effects? I have been cutting two pills for a total of 8 days at a time.

This may sound random but i thought i heard of some instances where it was shown to actually reduce the onset grey hair? Maybe i was wrong. My dad is 60 and his hair still has half its color. He has been in finasteride for probably 5-7 years i think.

By the way, I'm praying it will help reduce some of my body hair. I sware it already helped some of my back/shoulder acne (which can also be caused by dht)

DHT causes baldness and secondary sexual characteristics like facial hair and body hair. If you reduce dht you can in theory reduce body hair. finsteride blocks 50 percent of the type 1 of 5ar (i think type 1 but forget exactly it might be type two)which testosterone needs to be...

You definitely have hair like the typical "white guy in college". My hair closely resembeles that but slightly more receded. I am between a Norwood 1-2 but I too started early. I feel pity for guys I see loosing it. I have an acquaintance starting to loose his perfect norwood 1 juvenile...

There have been cases of other people where their acne somewhat declined. Either way, i hightly doubt it smply just disappeared when i changed nothing else. The only thing I did was start taking 1.25 mg of finasteride each day.

he may not have a doctorate in chemistry but isnt he studying it in school? He is probbaly a little more qualified here than the average person.
