I don't dare to take those generic drugs because u never know how they manufactured the tablets and what it will do to ur body in a long term. It's a potent hormone drug u are taking into ur body. So I rather get a genuine drugs from the doctor.
I heard rumours on the net that cutting proscar into pieces is not effective as eating a 1mg propecia

Bird King, what scalp treatments did u do in jb?

Hair salons always do hair scalp treatments from the brands they carry.....like loreal and such.....
Oily scalp & dandruff treatments are also considered hair scalp treaments......
Most people find them useless coz of the high cost and long period of time to see results.
I have oily scalp and hairloss so i'm using Nioxin brand hairloss scalp treatment. Cuts down on my oily scalp and helps create a healthy scapl for hair growth.
& 'coz i do it in J.B it cost half of what i do here...... :)

according to Merck, about 2% of propecia user will have some sexual side effect. but of course, most people believe the number is actually higher. for most people, the effect is mild and it does go away after a period of time.

in India, not everyone can affort Proscar to treat BPH. thousands of people in India is taking generic proscar to improve their life quality without problem. the same company is producing HIV drug been use all over the world without problem which is approve by FDA. so i can say they quality is pretty high. the thing that we should worry is not drug from India pharmacy but what going on when you deal with middle man. so it important to find a good online pharmacy for it. below are a success story of taking India make propecia. if you response to finasteride, properly you will response to generic version. of course, if it give you a peace of mind to use original version, then by all mean. if you have friends going to thailand, you might want to ask them to buy Proscar for you which cost only $60.

Asymtope:
i have heard of people who suffer from "brain fog" and depression. if you think it affecting you too much, you can try lower dose of 0.5mg to see if the side effect will go away. according to early doping test, 0.2mg work almost as well as 1mg. so 0.5mg is a good balance. of course, in theory, this should not happen as propecia only affect type II 5α-reductase which is not found in the brain. of course, different people does react to things differently.

also, hairloss due to minoxidil most of the time will grow back. so don't worry.

Proscar is should be effective even if you cut into pieces. there are some mix report. but many people is having success with it. so don't worry.

recommend is 8hours. best is 12hours.

after about 1-2years of minoxidil usage, many people use it once per day to maintain.

Those of us who use minoxidil and proscar to treat hairloss....
If you are like me, who see results while using these 2 products but bark at the high prices, i wish you 'sustainability'.....however have you thought about this question??
What's gonna happen 10-20 years down the road??
yes, we might still be using these 2 products to fight hairloss but then wat?? Medication lose their effectiveness someday. What's gonna happen then?? Resign to life and wear a wig??
I think about this question often.....wat's gonna happen then??

As long as you keep using finasteride to supress the DHT level, you will keep your surviving follicles active and alive. 10-20 years down the road there is a high chance something better will be developed. Then there is a higher chance you can make your existing hair even thicker. The ymportant thing is to keep the follicles alive in the 1st place. :D

Abs shapes are genetic.. Some staggered and some symmetrical.. But size of abs is not genetic, it's hardwork. :s7:

Just to share, i'm using a hair tonic for my receding hairline called Arcon. The full name is Arcon Hair Tonic.Bought from Reds. Rather expensive.....$38.....can last for about 2 mths++
It has strong chinese herb smell, might be offensive to some.....
the result?? Not bad i think. Personally i think it's stopping the hairline from receding further......needs more time to evalute though. Only use for 3 mths plus. Now starting on my 2nd bottle
I use this for my receding hairline and use minoxidil 5% for hairloss at my crown area....
