Forum Topic: Propecia and Minoxidil - Can Propecia Be Used for Hair Loss?
Hey everyone,
I've been dealing with hair loss for a long time now, but I'm still in the process of considering Propecia as an option for hair loss. Here's what I've done to determine if Propecia is indeed a good fit for my situation:
I've been using Propecia for the past few years for the majority of my hair loss. I'm starting to see results, but the hair loss has continued since then. I've noticed that my scalp is a bit more sensitive to UV light, so I'm now considering using it.
I've heard that Propecia is more effective for some women than for others, but that's not the case for me. The results have been pretty consistent for me. I've noticed that my hair is healthier overall than I thought it would be. In fact, I've even seen patients with severe thinning hair who were taking Propecia and had to stop.
I'm wondering if anyone else has been taking Propecia or if they really have been taking it?
My hair loss has been consistent for about a year now, but since it's starting to become less severe, I'm looking for more consistent results. I've noticed that after I've started using Propecia, my hair has become less sensitive to light. The result has been quite consistent, but it's been very mild, and I've noticed that my hair is healthier overall than I thought it would be.
I'd be interested to hear how the treatment has worked for you. I'm sure you'll find the results pretty consistent with that.
My hair loss has been consistently on my front, but after I've started using Propecia, I noticed that I've noticed that my hair has become less sensitive to light. I've also noticed that I've been more likely to see significant improvement in my overall appearance over the past few months. I've noticed that I've noticed that I've noticed that I've noticed that I've noticed that I've noticed my hair is healthier.

After I've had the treatment, I've noticed that I've noticed that I've noticed that my hair has become more sensitive to light, and that it's been more consistent over the past few months. It has been less noticeable than I thought it would be. It has definitely been less than I thought it would be, but that's just because I've noticed that it's been less than I thought it would be.

The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday warned consumers and health care professionals against buying generic finasteride after the Food and Drug Administration announced that the drug, which is sold under the brand name Propecia, is more effective than the original branded version, Merck & Co.'s Proscar. The FDA also warned consumers to read a comprehensive letter from the FDA warning board, which states that generic finasteride is an unsafe drug, and not the original drug. The letter states that there is no evidence that generic finasteride is an unsafe drug, and that it can cause harm. The FDA said the warning label should state that it is “unlikely to harm consumers,” but it should not contain any warnings about the risks of taking the drug. The letter also says that the label should also say that finasteride is a “safe drug,” and that it is “not likely to cause serious harm.” The FDA also told consumers that finasteride can be used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, a condition where the prostate gland does not expand when urinating. The FDA also said that finasteride is not indicated for use by women or children who are overweight or obese. The FDA said it would not advise the public to use finasteride to treat the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, as it has not been proven to be safe and effective in clinical trials for treating breast cancer. The agency also warned consumers that if they purchase any product with an unapproved indication for use by a consumer, they should immediately stop taking the drug. If a drug is taken by a consumer, the FDA should immediately warn the consumer not to use a product containing finasteride or any other similar drug, including prescription drugs. The FDA also warned consumers not to use any other products, such as a prescription drug, without first consulting with a doctor before using finasteride. The FDA said the agency has determined that finasteride is not safe for use by women or children who are overweight or obese, and that it is not likely to cause serious harm to those who are taking the drug. The FDA also warned consumers to stop taking finasteride and any other medication to avoid the risk of liver damage. The agency said it has determined that finasteride is not likely to cause serious harm to consumers, and that it is not likely to cause harm to those who are taking this product. The FDA added that it will continue to monitor the safety and effectiveness of finasteride and any other similar products, and the FDA is continuing to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of finasteride for use by women or children. The FDA has issued a warning letter to consumers that finasteride has been linked to a number of negative outcomes, including a 1.6 percent increase in breast cancer risk, and 1.4 percent increase in breast cancer risk for women taking finasteride. The FDA said that the agency is committed to reviewing the safety and effectiveness of finasteride, and will update the information as it has with the label and labeling. The FDA also told patients that it is not likely to harm consumers, and that there is no evidence that finasteride can cause serious harm to patients. The FDA also warned consumers that finasteride can cause certain side effects. A number of side effects are listed in the warning label and may include the following: headache; changes in ejaculation; changes in sexual desire; dry mouth; weakness; nausea; upset stomach; heartburn; dizziness; fatigue; changes in ejaculation; breast pain; breast swelling; dizziness; and allergic reactions. These side effects are not limited to the side effects listed in the label, and may include the following: rash; increased sensitivity to sunlight; itching; changes in sexual desire; increased or decreased libido; difficulty achieving an erection; loss of appetite; changes in ejaculation; and sexual dysfunction. The FDA has been reviewing the safety and effectiveness of finasteride and any other similar products, and will update the information as it has with the label and labeling.

The UK patent forPropecia, a hair loss treatment for men, expired on the 11th Oct 2014. A few days later ‘generic Propecia’ or more accurately ‘generic finasteride’ became available from UK pharmacies. A generic medicine is a medicine which is the same as a branded original, but is prescribed and supplied by its medical name, rather than its brand name.
Propecia is a brand name. The active ingredient of Propecia tablets isfinasteride 1mg. Propecia tablets and finasteride 1mg tablets are medically the same.
Dr Fox supplies both from the drug companyMerck(MSD), which held the original patent, and lower cost, which other drug companies have made available since Merck’s UK patent expired.
When a medicine comes off patent price can fall dramatically. Men, who previously paid very high prices for Propecia, may be able to buy medically identical finasteride 1mg at lower prices.
When a medicine is under patent it can only be sold legally by the patent holder. This means the patent holder, which is normally the drug company which paid to develop the medicine in the first place, is free to market the medicine without competition from other pharmaceutical companies. The result is usually very high prices. When a patent expires other drug companies usually start to produce the same medicine, known as a generic copy, and start to compete on price. As a result the cost to patients tends to fall.
The cost to patients of a medicine depends on various factors; how much it costs to produce, how much demand there is, how many drug companies supply the same medicine, and how flexible the market is. Even when the wholesale supply price of a medicine falls, the price patients pay does not always fall by the same amount. Retail pharmacies may try not to pass on reduced supply costs to patients, and instead use falling wholesale prices to boost profits. If there is price competition between retailers, as there tends to be between online pharmacies and online clinics, price to patients usually fall in line with falls in wholesale supply costs, but not always.
Dr Fox is one of the lowest cost suppliers of most medicines for both branded and generic medicines.
At the moment (10 Dec 2014) only three pharmaceutical companies, apart from Merck, are supplying finasteride 1mg tablets. These companies areTrent,Actavis, andMylanAt the time of writing, all are offering their generic equivalent of Propecia at the same price; about 10% less than branded Propecia. Prices will hopefully tumble further in the days and weeks to come (as happened when last year).UPDATE JANUARY 2022Generic finasteride is now less than 30% of the price of Propecia from Dr Fox.
The original patent holder, Merck (MSD) may reduce the price of Propecia, or start to market its own generic finasteride 1mg alongside branded Propecia.
Not all men who previously took Propecia will switch to generic finasteride 1mg, even if the price of Propecia remains high and generic finasteride is a lot cheaper. If a patient is happy with a particular brand of tablet, they often will not switch to a lower cost equivalent, even if they are reliably advised that one tablet is medically the same as the other. Whether or not they switch depends on how much they wish to economise, and all the other factors which keep people buying certain products at high prices when they do not have to.
Finasteride 1mg tablets are taken daily to reduce hair loss in men, and can promote hair regrowth. See Dr Fox for details.
Cheap Propecia may be on its way which would be welcome news to the many men suffering distress as a result of male pattern hair loss.
Cheap generic finasteride is now less than 30% of the cost of Propecia from Dr Fox Hair Loss SupplementsTreatment with finasteride 1mg tablets works by inhibiting the growth of chemical hair follicles which cause hair loss.
