If u want to save time, just a day trip to johor and go any pharmacy there, u will be able to buy finasteride. It comes with brand names such as proscar, finagen. 5mg pills in which u just get a pill cutter to cut into 5 parts or 4 parts.

And it cost cheap as well.

Indonesia lagi cheaper, estimated $6 for a month supply.

agree with hyperfuse. go other country buy. polyclinic dr wont prescribe. theyll refer u to NSC which is a minimum of 2month wait

polyclinic wont directly sell you. their Drs there will first refer you to NSC, then when you want to fill your future NSC prescriptions can bring to polyclinic and collect. thats what i think (since in my case the polyclinic Dr refused to prescribe it to me. had to refer me to NSC instead)

Anyone have a recommendation for aesthetic clinic or dermatologist to consult over hair loss concerns? I am seeing thinning hair at the top of my head, but not sure if it is considered serious yet and what kind of treatment or dosage to start on. Don’t really want to queue for NSC and prefer private practice. Thanks in advance.

Is FUE cheaper in Msia/JB than SG? 1 YouTube paid usd3K for 2800 hairs in Bangkok. 1 day/8hr ops, next day Dr review and thats it. 1 yr later, full head of hairs. Cheaper than Yunan and same cost as rogaine (over 5 yr)

Cheaper is cheaper, but can the foreign clinic be trusted? That should be the question to ask

Look for board certified Dr. And keep the no. of hair transplant to minimum necessary to reduce the trauma. In certain country, anything goes, the Dr can just vanish after malpractice.

Anyone experienced losing more hair when start using finasteride 1mg daily? I’m at my 3rd week
just started and yes there will be noticeable temporary shedding according to the doc/consultant@NSC.
This is normal with the improvement rate varies from person to person; it usually occurs after the medication has been used for at least 3 months and lasts only as long as the medication continues to be used.

Using NSC's generic brand Stercia, so much cheaper than Propecia. Got one time they supplying the indian one, should be finapecia, I found not so good, seemed like more hair loss after taking.
Just ordered as running low and they giving finapecia again, although the same 1mg finasteride, just feel this is a more inferior generic compare to stercia, 30 vs 28 tablets per box at same price...

I saw someone talking about this before but does anyone know lobang for topical finasteride? Previous post mentioned about "compounding pharmacists" that will offer this. How does one go about getting this?
