Generic dutasteride Options?

Sometime this fall, I'm either going to add some dutasteride to my my minoxidil or go w/ the AA Topical.

I know it's all gotta be pretty close - but is there much of an advantage of going with any of the generic Duts over the other (Dutas, Duprost, Dutagen, etc.).

I'll probably stick w/ united pharmacies when I place the order.

TIA!

Not sure which one or even if true, but I've heard that one of the 3 generic brands of dutasteride comes as a capsule (powdered dutasteride?) and not a gelcap. BTW I just got a letter from customs...most recent order from United was seized. Did this ever happen to you when using United? If so, did they reship and did the second one make it? I'm not in a big hurry to get the meds, I just like to stock up and I hope this isn't going to be a common occurance.

That's something to consider - the gel caps (I think) are a "must" for the AA topical - probably not so much if you're going to add it in your minoxidil.

KNOCK ON WOOD - I've been very lucky w/ all of my U.P. orders - and none have gotten siezed. I noticed my last package came in a plain brown envelope.

I've heard that everyone who's had their orders siezed by customs gets excellent customer service from U.P. in the form of a new order (which usuallly goes through) or a refund.

I'd be pissed at customs if mine got seized. i ordered some which ships today. i'm stressing. if it goes through i'm stocking up for me and my brother.

if you do get a powder that just means you have to extract it with alcohol, which is a bit of a pain and might leave you wondering.

did anyone pay extra for tracking? does doing that increase the likelyhood of a seisure? do you think any customs officials read this forum? i'll bet they feel so proud they save so many lives by helping us go bald.
