Propecia Patent

[Growin Back]

Does anyone know when the patent for Propecia will expire?

i think in the US, in 09 i want to say...?

there is the generic 5mg finasteride out already and available

Just idle curiousity on my part.

Of course, one can't read this board and miss all the discussion of splitting 5 mg Finasteride. I'm probably going to give that a try.

indeed do.

It already expired on June 19 2006 , but no generics have been made here since merck still has protection on it's manufactoring/distribution.

i think that was the proscar expiry date and i thought there was already an american proscar version :scratch:
