Don't be like these cheapskates, buy Proscar. I used to buy my drugs from elite net pharmacy.com (no spaces) although I don't know how their prices compare.
These guys must really be poor otherwise they have no respect for the money that goes into developing drugs and then putting them through trials. Finpecia is made by some Indian drug maker who ignores the patent Merck has, because in India it's legal to do that.
My advice: Buy Proscar and 1/4 the pills. That will give you approx. 1.25 mg of finasteride per pill.

These "cheapskates" would rather spend the majority of their hard earned on other things. Cipla is world renowned, and they don't "ignore" the patent...they are perfectly entitled to create finasteride through their own processes.
Yes...those damn Indians and their inferior finasteride.
ALL BOW DOWN TO MERCK! USA! USA! USA! USA! :roll:

I forgot, finasteride has come off of patent. My mistake.
Indian drug companies do ignore patents, though. It is legal to do that in India. They did it with finasteride before it came off patent.

I already spend a fortune on foam, if it wasnt for proscar i would be seriously broke. THe differences in long term cost between Proscar and Propecia is just phenominal. Dont know why anyone would go on propecia, its like 5 times the price for the exact same medication.
To the OP your doctor is a moron. Just goto another GP who has half a brain and will realise its the exact same medication, or just get it off the net.

My guess would be that some docs won't prescribe Proscar because they figure the patient will use a medical plan to get it, whereas a medical plan will not cover Propecia.
