Hi,

I have been taking Propecia for abt 6mth with encouraging result after many years of reclining hair line.
Anyone can help with these questions:

1. Where can i get the cheapest Propecia ?
2. For the 5mg Proscar, is the pill much bigger than Propecia ?
Propecia is so small, if Proscar is the same size, i suppose it is rather difficult to cut it into 5 equal pcs.

1) Buy Generic Proscar Online
or
Buy Proscar in JB

2) Same size
Cut it into 4 or 3 pieces

Hi guys, I also have hair loss problem. Last time, i tot it is just due to stress but recently the hair loss is starting to get visible... frens start to ask me if i am dropping hair cos they can see it is getting lesser. I tried changing diff brand of shampoo but still dun work.

I went NSC and they give me the minoxi 5% but whenever i apply, my scalp is itchy and the hair loss does not stop. (I tried for 1 month only) I am only 20 this year and really worried cos now got hair no gf already... I went to see a doctor and he prescribe mi a medicine call propecia.. he told mi the side effect not everybody will get and have to try for half a year to see the result.

Qns : Anyone here with mpb tried it and see results after prolong use??
: Is it a use for life pill?? Means i cannot stop it if i want to maintain my hair??
: I bought it at $95 from the clinic, can i buy from else where for a cheaper price??
: Anyone encounter low sex drive after using it?? Will it effect having a baby next time??


I'm sorry to write so much and i admit i did not read the whole thread. Sry cos i really am worried so hav to seek the expertise advice here. :(:(

just start propecia straight away. most likely it will work hand in hand with the rest of the treatment you are already using so you don't have to stop it. the only way to know how well propecia work for you is to try it for at least 1years.


devilrer:

alot of people mix minoxidil with finasteride. whether does it work, the jury is till out there. even if you mix the powder into minoxidil most likely it does nothing as the percentage is way too low for it to work. for me, i will cut it into 4pieces and just take the powder with the smaller piece so i don't waste anything. yeah, you lick it off:s13: normally, proscar does not cause much of a shed.


albetan:

as already mention by Rushifaa, you can switch to proscar which will cost about $120 or so in spore and about $90 or so in malaysia. generic proscar online is another option. stop using propecia as there is no point unless you have tons of money to throw which you can throw @ me=:p

if you are interested in alternative, you can drop me an PM. i might be able to offer you something in the near future.

Proscar is about the size of propecia shaped like an apple. it is not that difficult to cut it into 5pieces but most people just leave it at 4pieces. you do not need to cut it actually equal size. as long as you are taking about 1mg for the 4-5days, it will be fine. it make no different. i skip the details here.


Mysterio619:

most people who get itch from minoxidil is due to the PPG in the content. you can switch to PPG free minoxidil like rogaine foam. if that the case, keep using it will only do more harm then good.

for propecia, you got to keep using it for the rest of your life if you want to maintain it effect until we have a real cure. for 20year old, you have the advantage then most of us. you might be able to get something close to a cure before 30s.

Propecia drug name is finasteride. it come in 1mg. proscar is the same drug but come in 5mg. many people include me just buy proscar and cut it to 4-5pieces. read my above post for others. by using proscar, you get the same effect with just about 1/4 of the price of propecia.

P.S
i understand it hard to read the whole thread as it getting longer and longer. for those interested, maybe you can move to http://www.sghairgrow.com/phpBB3/index.php?sid=9ce2b035e98239e156322d601320e0d2
its much cleaner there.

Tkx Isopropyl for the reply. I think i will just use it for at least 1 year and see what it can really do for me. No other alternatives as of yet...

Hi Albetan

How old were you when you started propecia? At what stage of balding (Norwood scale?) are you and how good was your success? Did you experience any shedding?

I personally am afraid to start propecia due to many stories that it worsens the frontal hairline and causes it to recede further.

I cannot afford to go thru' another shed as I lost a lot of hair after using minoxi 5% about 2 mths ago.

those who want cheap finasteride can look at Finpecia by Cipla. A drug maker in India.

I had Propecia for 6mth, more like stage 2 to 3.
Prior to starting propecia, i had obvious shredding.
But shredding reduced significantly from very obvious to hardly,
Also notice new hair growth on the hairline.
Hope this helps.

You can try those European Pharmacy Site
http://www.inhousepharmacy-europe.com/hair-loss/fincar.html
Here's where most get their proscar from.

As for reducing dosage...
The recommand dosage is 1MG a day...
Supposely Scientific Studies recommand 1MG per day for it to work...
You can try at your own risk for reducing your dosage...

I read somewhere (can't remember) that there isnt any significant
different on the effectiveness when taking 1mg vs 0.2mg.
Was thinking to minimisze any possible side effects as well as cost saving.

Switch from Propecia to Proscar

Selling Genuine Proscar(5mg)... a box of 30 tablets
To save money, cut each tablet up into 4 quarters and take one quarter each time.

A box of 30 can last you for 4 months.

Cost only $120 per box. Left with 2 boxes so if you get both boxes, will give you a discount...

:)

Pm me for more detail...
