Ive always bought generic finasteride because Proscar is 5x the price. Ive been told no difference as active ingredient is the same.

But why such a big price difference? Has anyone tried both?

What ever brand you use stick with that brand, obviously genuine Merck brand is better than generic. There have been many talks over the years where people used genuine brand and then switched to generic and lost ground. I would only use a generic brand that has good feedback.

I hear what your saying. why the big difference in price?
theres obviously people paying that price otherwise they would be out of business. so what is different that means people will pay 5x the price?
