Title says it all. I started out on aurbindo brand finasteride, and just recently switched to CVS pharmacy and was given the accord brand. since being on accord i actually feel like my sex drive is much higher. maybe my body just adjusted? I get sketched out by these indian manufacturers. let me know what you guys think!

I started on Aurobindo but switched to Merck Propecia after a month. I obsessively searched for what was the best brand, found a million conflicting opinions, nothing conclusive. I've noticed no difference though.

okay so you’ve noticed no difference though. paying for peace of mind. how much do you pay for brand name, and how do you get the pharmacy to give it to you

I paid $4 for a 4 month supply of Aurobindo, so a dollar a month, almost for free. I pay $100 a month for Propecia.

But I didn't take Aurobindo long enough to know if I would work. I just read too many testimonials from people saying they switched to a cheaper brand and started having noticable loss. My hair loss feels like a heavy burden, I think about it almost all the time. I found out that only Merck Propecia has been through clinical trials for efficacy, everything else is a copy of it and has not been tested, but I didn't want to take any chances.
