Thinning Hair problem

[gibbons]

in singapore, you can look for your GP and explain the situation to him and how you are going to use proscar. most GP will be willing to write a prescription for you. with the prescription, you can purchase it from most pharmacy. otherwise, you can drop by JB and buy from there.

proscar is the brand. i think you misunderstood proscar as a drug name. the drug name is finasteride and the brand is proscar.

you do understand propecia and proscar is basically the same drug just different in dosage right? most patient get the higher dosage proscar and cut it up to 4-5pieces to save cost.

Hey all. Long time reader of this forum, first-time poster. Thanks to all who post, in particular Isopropyl, who I think gives sound advice and helps us navigate all the snake-oil sellers who operate in this industry....

I've got two questions. Basically I've been taking Proscar (split in 1/4s) for around 3 years now. Where I'm from, my doctor will happily prescribe me 90 at a time, which will then last me around a year once split. However, in SG I've found it hard to find doctors who will prescribe me 5mg. At the doctor's today, for example, I was told prescribing 5mg would be "unethical", and he said that you can't split proscar tablets more than once (although I've been cutting it into pretty accurate 1/4s for the past 3 yrs). He was prepared to prescribe 1mg, but the cost is too much to bear.

Last year, after reading this forum, I went to JB and got some from a pharmacy there. No prescription required. But later in the year I tried to pick some up while I was in KL, and was told I'd need a prescription. Which made me wonder - can you still buy without prescription in JB???

Ideally I'd prefer to get prescription in SG though. Can anyone let me know of a doctor in SG who will prescribe Proscar? Doctors here seem pretty reluctant to, even though I try to reassure them that I will split it and be responsible with it...

Would love to hear from anyone who can answer those 2 questions for me.
Cheers and good luck to you all

Hey,
thanks for your thoughts. So it seems like maybe I got unlucky with my choice of doctor, although the previous one I tried here also was not happy about prescribing it to me... Not sure whether to try another doctor, go JB or look online. Especially after I came across this article:
http://wwwapp1.fda.moph.go.th/drug/eng/zone_counterfeit/counte18.asp
I am pretty sure in hindsight that the proscar I bought from JB looked exactly like the counterfeit kind shown in the pic there. I hope I'm wrong, and that they're selling the real stuff, but I guess stranger things have happened.

Did not know about nizoral in tab form - how they working out for you compared to finasteride? Or you taking both?

Hi.. I've been using natur vital and i personally think it's good! I usually get it from one girl who sells much cheaper compared to the price you see at Watson/Guardian =)

Tell me if you wish to get it from her too...

anyone can reccomend hair transplant clinic?
the price is 7 per graft for alaxis stated in flowerpod forum..

on average will need 700-1000 graft... i feel damm exp.. so thinking if there are any cheaper and better alternatives

 

[qsgsgs]

i personally think grafting is worth the money as it is a permanent solution. I might consider it in the future. Anyone tried it yet?

hi, i've been reading on Nioxin and was thinking of getting the System 2 cleanser, therapy and treatment, but is it necessary to get all or just cleanser is sufficient? Also, has any1 ordered Nioxin from US ebay before? does vPost allow shipping of such items? appreciate your comments. thanks

nioxin shampoo makes my scalp red and itchy. the crust of hard skin began to form on my scalp.
