I read an FDA report estimating that 50% of online generics are fake, and 10% of US store bought doctor prescribed drugs are fake.
I trust my supplier, though even they can be tricked. I've had good results for years on Fincar, and this is after 2 years on Proscar from my doctor. No shed with the switch. So I know what I have is real. I just don't know if my next shipment will be real. But should I pay 3x as much to go from 50+% certainty to 90% certainty? If I was 100% sure the proscar was real, I might. But after my results, I'm at least 75% sure my stuff is real, so I see no point in spending the extra money, except to pay back Merk. But since they told me all those years, and still to this day, that Propecia does not work in front, which is why I got to NW4a before getting on finasteride, I kind of don't feel obligated to help them. Though I guess without finasteride I'd be completely bald now, so maybe I should. That would mean buying propecia though, not proscar.
