Generic vs Non-Generic

[Avocado]

Which one are you using, and why?

I want to save money and buy the generic one, but I still have doubts regarding quality and what not. Is it exactly the same thing?

I'm using Dr. Reddy's Dutas. It is working great for me and has regrown a lot of hair. If I'd used brand-name Avodart from a UK source, I'd have literally paid four times as much.

I'm paying $80 for a 3 month supply of 1mg Finasteride

If I bought 30 5mg Proscar pills at $57 I could get 5 month of Finasteride and save $23 in the process.

What a dilemma: pay for a more expensive product or risk it buying generic. :tellme:

More answer would be appreciated for the community. I'm sure I'm not the only one facing this dilemma.

Finasteride is finasteride is finasteride. It is exactly the same molecule whether it is brand-name Propecia, Fincar, Finast, whichever. They're all finasteride.

As long as you get your pills from a legitimate pharmacy (regardless of whether the pharmacy is domestic or overseas), you have nothing to worry about.

Alright then. I'm gonna trust this fellow Good Looking Loser (Chris I believe is his name) and buy it from the link he provides at his website.

There is a field in pharmacology(Medicine) that is call Pharmacodynamics and pharmacothereapeutics. The actions of medicine even if they are same made from different companies and different brands may have differential effect on human body.The high cost antibiotics is better than generic antibiotic hands down because they have better tolerance.
