Hi everyone,
I'm looking into purchasing Propecia from Canada and would like to know if there is a way to get the generic version (Proscar) without compromising the quality of the original? I'm currently in the process of purchasing Propecia from Canada from the UK so I'm not sure if there is a suitable generic option at this point.
Thanks in advance,
If anyone has any further questions about this, feel free to ask!
Hello Alyon,
Thanks for your reply! I'm considering buying from a UK pharmacy but since purchasing from Canada I have been advised to look into online pharmacies that offer a generic version of Propecia. The generic Proscar is available at a significantly lower cost than the branded version. However, I would like to know if there is a way to get the generic Propecia without compromising the quality of the original? I'm currently in the process of trying out these options and have tried several alternatives online but none of them are as effective as the branded Propecia.
Would you like to check the cost of the generic Propecia at the pharmacy?
Thanks, Alyon
It's great to hear that you have found a good pharmacy!

I'm currently in the process of trying out the cheapest option. The cost is quite affordable, but I would like to know how much is included in my order at this time?
It would be great if I could find out more about the different options and they are all available at a significantly lower cost. I would like to find out more about the quality of the medication, dosage, and any other details I need to know.
Also, I would like to know if I can order the generic Propecia online from Canada where the price will be cheaper.
Thanks for your reply and the information on the Canadian pharmacy! I will look into the latter option if possible and I would be interested to hear the cost and shipping costs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

1. Women: Generic Propecia is intended for use in men only.

The UK patent forPropecia, a hair loss treatment for men, expired on the 11th Oct 2014. A few days later ‘generic Propecia’ or more accurately ‘generic finasteride’ became available from UK pharmacies. A generic medicine is a medicine which is the same as a branded original, but is prescribed and supplied by its medical name, rather than its brand name.
Propecia is a brand name. The active ingredient of Propecia tablets isfinasteride 1mg. Propecia tablets and finasteride 1mg tablets are medically the same.
Dr Fox supplies both from the drug companyMerck(MSD), which held the original patent, and lower cost, which other drug companies have made available since Merck’s UK patent expired.
When a medicine comes off patent price can fall dramatically. Men, who previously paid very high prices for Propecia, may be able to buy medically identical finasteride 1mg at lower prices.
When a medicine is under patent it can only be sold legally by the patent holder. This means the patent holder, which is normally the drug company which paid to develop the medicine in the first place, is free to market the medicine without competition from other pharmaceutical companies. The result is usually very high prices. When a patent expires other drug companies usually start to produce the same medicine, known as a generic copy, and start to compete on price. As a result the cost to patients tends to fall.
The cost to patients of a medicine depends on various factors; how much it costs to produce, how much demand there is, how many drug companies supply the same medicine, and how flexible the market is. Even when the wholesale supply price of a medicine falls, the price patients pay does not always fall by the same amount. Retail pharmacies may try not to pass on reduced supply costs to patients, and instead use falling wholesale prices to boost profits. If there is price competition between retailers, as there tends to be between online pharmacies and online clinics, price to patients usually fall in line with falls in wholesale supply costs, but not always.
Dr Fox is one of the lowest cost suppliers of most medicines for both branded and generic medicines.
At the moment (10 Dec 2014) only three pharmaceutical companies, apart from Merck, are supplying finasteride 1mg tablets. These companies areTrent,Actavis, andMylanAt the time of writing, all are offering their generic equivalent of Propecia at the same price; about 10% less than branded Propecia. Prices will hopefully tumble further in the days and weeks to come (as happened when last year).UPDATE JANUARY 2022Generic finasteride is now less than 30% of the price of Propecia from Dr Fox.
The original patent holder, Merck (MSD) may reduce the price of Propecia, or start to market its own generic finasteride 1mg alongside branded Propecia.
Not all men who previously took Propecia will switch to generic finasteride 1mg, even if the price of Propecia remains high and generic finasteride is a lot cheaper. If a patient is happy with a particular brand of tablet, they often will not switch to a lower cost equivalent, even if they are reliably advised that one tablet is medically the same as the other. Whether or not they switch depends on how much they wish to economise, and all the other factors which keep people buying certain products at high prices when they do not have to.
Finasteride 1mg tablets are taken daily to reduce hair loss in men, and can promote hair regrowth. See Dr Fox for details.
Cheap Propecia may be on its way which would be welcome news to the many men suffering distress as a result of male pattern baldness.
Cheap generic finasteride 1mg can be supplied by UK pharmaciesPropecia is a popular medication for the treatment of male pattern baldness. This condition is caused by the inability of the hair follicles to produce new growth and slow down hair growth. It can also be caused by genetic factors such as a genetic tendency to produce multiple follicles, which can result in the loss of hair that is typically the result of a hereditary condition. By taking Propecia, you can help to slow down the progression of hair loss, promote new growth, and stop further hair loss. However, it is important to talk to your doctor before starting to take Propecia to ensure it is effective and to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor. This is because Propecia can cause side effects such as headaches, dry mouth, decreased libido, and breast tenderness.
Propecia is a medication that is prescribed to treat male pattern baldness. It contains the active ingredient finasteride, which is the same drug that is used to treat hair loss. It works by preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp, which is a hormone linked to hair loss. By blocking the effects of DHT, Propecia can stop hair loss and slow down hair thinning.
Like any medication, Propecia can cause side effects. While some side effects are mild and temporary, more severe reactions can occur and require immediate medical attention. These include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, breast tenderness, and mood changes. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as sudden vision loss or hearing problems could occur. If you experience any of these side effects, it is important to consult your doctor. They will be able to adjust your treatment plan to prevent or reduce the risk of these side effects.
If you are considering the use of Propecia, it is important to speak to your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.
Finasteride 5mg tablets are indicated for the treatment of male pattern hair loss and pattern baldness.
Finasteride 5mg Tabletsare used to treat men with male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) who have not achieved or maintained an optimal hair growth. These tablets contain the active substance finasteride, which is a synthetic 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is implicated in the development of male pattern hair loss, but it is not a major factor in the progression of hair loss. In men with male pattern hair loss, finasteride 5mg tablets help achieve and maintain an optimal hair growth.
Finasteride 5mg tablets are indicated to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in adult men with an enlarged prostate. Finasteride 5mg tablets are primarily used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and may reduce the frequency and severity of ejaculation in men with androgenetic alopecia. It works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to DHT, a major factor in the progression of hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
