Yes, 30 day supply of proscar from Costco. Use a pill cutter and exacto knife.

About $15 per month.

Good luck.

I'm such a softie....

This is pretty much as cheap and easy as it gets. No prescription needed. It comes from India and the Fincar is less than $60 for a year. They don't ship everywhere though so you'll have to figure it out on your own.

2 disclaimers - they take about a month to arrive and of course, if they screw up the order, it's time consuming and difficult to get it fixed. That said, I've ordered twice with no problems.

India has the worst reputation for fake meds of any country, even in-country. Remember those studies a few years ago indciating that 50% of in-country products were at a minimum cut and at least 30% were devoid of any medicines.

Hope it's good, the price is certainly great!

I'd like to see whatever studies you are referring to that came out a few years ago. These days, the Indian drug industry is competing for a foothold in the generics market in many countries around the world, including Australia, Europe and here in the US. It certainly isn't in their best long term interest to be screwing the public. Remember, even the best of companies has to weather the occasional screw up.

If you've never ordered it or taken it, how can you make any judgement as to reliability? Cause one person on this board had their order screwed up and waited a month only to get the wrong product?

Ordering from these Indian labs is a viable option that many people choose. I accept the fact that some people aren't comfortable with the idea and therefore opt for the Merck brand. But to discourage others from making informed decisions based on feelings or misperceptions is irresponsible.

Then I hope you look into it. I can't believe you missed it if you are interested in these things, it was national and international news.

it was actually you who told me it takes a month to get. if they're sellling a product that cheap that's 15 times more expensive, i doubt it's safe. like i said, that's my opinion

You wanna have fun? Type "merck and fraud" into google and see what you get. It would be darn easy to make a case not to trust Merck.

i'll take your word for it. but i think i'll stick with minoxidil..when my hair is completely gone, i'll just shave it. before i couldn't take it losing my hair and knowing that one day i'll go bald.. nowadays i think i can handle it.. i have a beautiful g\f that's crazy about me, a good job, a nice place....i think i'll be ok. i've seen a lot of people with bad wigs..i don't know how they think no one can tell..i don't want to be one of those people who can't accept it that they'd wear wigs and spend thousands of dollars for a little more hair when you'll never be completely the way you want to be

It does take a month. And there are several reasons why it's cheaper. 1. they don't have to invent it and therefore absorb the R & D costs. 2. Since it's already approved by various worldwide health organizations, it's much cheaper to new versions of the same thing approved. 3. Labor for lab workers in India is less than 1/2 what it is here.

I personally don't care where you get your supply and how much you pay. But you questioned the reliability and I'm saying the risk isn't a great as you may think.

Those are good prices!

Do you have any information suggesting the product is legitimate? If so that would be great news.

I've had my generic Fincar analyzed. It is virtually identical to a standard U.S. produced Merck Proscar tablet. The color of the dye is a little different.

Not only is it safe, it is effective. However, the circular shape makes it difficult to cut into 5ths, so I just cut it into quaters. I've been using generics for the vast majority of my regimen and I have seen results with them.

Was this the Generic Fincar from India that Grantspots was talking about?

Plz send me the pdf results summary to mipafox2003@yahoo.com. What analysis did you do and which lab? I'd love to hear that Grant's stuff is legit. I will order the same analysis that you did when I get mine as a QA/QC check.

I based my decision to try the Fincar on the fact that many people here and on other sites have tried it with success. Also, I spent a little time looking into CIPLA and found a lot of information that convinced me they are legit. And yes, I did find some information about false and misleading practices, but like I said, you can find some of that on any large organization.

Now, if a whole bunch of people were claiming it wasn't working or they were getting screwed, I'd think different. Unitl then though....it works for me.

I dig. I think it's a moot point since Axon has analytical and I am interested to see what he did and how much it cost. I would think it would be expensive, but I guess not. I may send my European minoxidil to the same lab Axon did if they have good pricing on GC/MS with library search for peaks.

Yes, it was the same generic Fincar.

I'm not certain what test were done on them, you'll have to wait till muh woman returns from shopping for that specific information. She works for a major pharmacutical company and has the means of analyzing all the different substances. I would think any lab that can disolve and analyze a substance would do this for you. I know that doesn't help much, sorry. I'll try to get some specific info for you.

Anyway, I only have the results on a hardcopy. It took me a long time to find this crap, I chucked it months ago. It reads as such:

Merck 5mg finasteride Proscar tablet:

Approximately 5 mg Finasteride

hydrous lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, sodium starch glycolate, hydroxypropyl cellulose LF, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, titanium dioxide, magnesium stearate, talc, docusate sodium, FD&C Blue 2 aluminum lake and yellow iron oxide.

Fincar 5mg Finasteride tablet:

Approximately 5 mg Finasteride

hydrous lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, sodium starch glycolate, hydroxypropyl cellulose LF, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, titanium dioxide, magnesium stearate, talc, docusate sodium, FD&C Blue 3 aluminum lake and yellow iron oxide.
