Is this Prosmin Fake? Pics included

Ok, so here's my problem. I ordered this Finasteride from United Pharmacies, and I am not sure it is actually from Biotenk in Argentina.

The package looked pretty good on first inspection (the box looks like it had been sitting in the sun for a while, kind of bleached) this alerted me, and I tried to compare it to biotenk's website.. everything checked out, then I noticed the biotenk symbol IS NOT angled like on their site, instead the symbol is parallel to the rest of the package.

Anybody else taking biotenk finasteride? does your package look like mine, or does it look like the other.

again, ordered through united pharmacies (which is supposed to be reputable). I have been on this finasteride for about 3.5 months now, and hair appears to be getting worse.. hope this isn't fake.

thanks

I'll never understand why some guys are willing to take risks with these dubious meds made and shipped from goodness knows where. If not for general health common sense reasons, why would you risk your remaining hair on the chance that your suspicion might be correct? I've never heard of the company, but would it matter if your pills were "real Biotenk" or "real Ballsack Industries" finasteride?

A much better alternative is to spend an hour and a few bucks with a dermatologist who can prescribe finasteride locally. That way, you can be as sure as sure gets that you're getting real medication from your own pharmacy. You'll also be under the care of a physician, which is a smart thing while taking prescription medication.

Now, regarding your other concern of losing hair at 3.5 months - that would not be unusual with finasteride. It takes a long time - 12+ months for many....so I don't think you can make a judgement on the authenticity of the molecule in your pills on that basis alone.

However, I'd be quick to reject a bleached box of South American knockoff pills under any circumstance.
