Hi all. I started a topic a few weeks ago with a few questions and I haven't gotten the answer I'm looking for, so I figured I would narrow it down a bit. I've already searched in other threads but couldn't find the exact answer I was looking for.
I'm currently on generic finasteride - it's the pills that say H on one side, 36 on the other (image attached). My general practitioner who prescribed it told me the generic stuff is 80% the same, which could account for it being less effective (I've been on it five months and my hairline is getting worse and I'm thinning more on top). If I recall correctly, the pharmacist said something backing this up.
On the flip side, I've read on here from a few posters that it's exactly the same as Propecia. Who is correct? If the generic is not the same, I'm thinking of moving on to Proscar, or another affordable option.
