Hey folks... have been taking Propecia for about 5 months, and can testify that it really works!! My balding patch on top less visible now.

Problem is... Propecia is sooo expensive. $86/mth. Read from some prev posts that some of u guys take Proscar. I asked my doc for it but he said his clinic doesn't carry the drug (wonder if he's lying). Know of any pharmacy/clinic I can get Proscar? Do help!!! Thanks!!!

$86?
Mine cost $90

I wash my hair twice a day. But I don't know why my scalp is still smelly after a short while? My daily activities is light. Anybody suffer the same fate as me?
I notice there is a dried yellow solid at the root of my hair. Is that dried sebum?

most clinic does not carry proscar as it is a specialist drug. just get a prescription from your doctor and get it from NTUC unity or guardian.

or you can go to malaysia and get it without prescription at a cheaper rate.

gald finasteride is working for you. you are only into it for 5months and it is only going to get better as for most, the full effect of finasteride can be seem after 1years plus mark.

I believe if there are smell, it means the micro-organism are at work on the dandruff (may or may not be visible). But washing twice a day is a great way to keep the scalp clean. I personally believe if a person's diet is clean and not overloaded with sodium, the scalp will be a lot healthier, along with the most important factor finasteride to reduce DHT.

omg...i didnt realised hair conditioner cannot touch the scalp. i been rubbing the conditioner onto my whole head (touching the scalp) for almost 1 yr

oh my god that's an absolutely no no. if it touches yr scalp then it will leave a residue on your scalp. Over time there will be a build up then of cos u will lose hair.

there's a hair analysis counter at Taka Guardian and the aunty will check your hair and scalp for u free. Can try it out.

it very near right after you enter into malaysia. not too sure how to explain to you in words. it across the road of one india temple. it name is mypharmacy. there are a number of pharmacy i went to ask. i think mypharmacy is the cheapest as they offer 15% discount.

another pharmacy that can be found easily is PharmaCARE. they also offer 10% discount. so the price is pretty close. they can be found almost anywhere also.

2months supply is equal to 8-10months of treatment. depend on whether you cut it down to 4 or 5pieces. i don't think it a problem to bring some drugs in for personal use if it is not too much. 2months of proscar should be fine. unless they tot it is something else.

yeah. that the link.

sorry, somehow, i pasted the wrong link in my previous post for you. remove liao.

hmm... i can't really write down the direction. i only roughly know where is the place. it along one row of shop houses and opposite is an indian temple. that all i can remember.

just go straight after tha custom. should be easy to find. i myself just walk around and found it. it before you reach JB square.

[sing_gunner]

hi dekkei86,

Go to National Skin Centre & let the doctor examines ur scalp/hair. Most likely he'll prescribe minoxidil & oral medication.

Dun despair. There're alot of people (men + women) in sg suffering from this kind of problems

 

[ultimatesg]

is tis bad ?

Dun look too serious. Most of the follicles are probably still alive, reversible.

 

[donald83]
