Hello all,

Thanks for the kind comments posted on the other thread a while back, much appreciated.

As well as wearing hair I wont to prolong as much as possible the side hair I have which is pretty good at present. At the convention I spoke to a couple of guys who use both hair pieces and propecia together and this is my plan.

I have checked the net and struggling to find it available in the uk. I went to my Doctor and its nearly £30 GBP for just 8 pills. On the net I have found them for the same price but a pack of 28 but not in the uk.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction where to get this from, I have found one site but they require a perscription?

Any info appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Ah. Such bad timing! I threw 60 odd tablets out yesterday as I no longer use them.

I used to buy mine from qhi.co.uk. For my first order I had to sign some form, but no prescription is needed. I don't know if they're still reliable/genuine..

I came off them due to the side effects. Any questions please ask as I'm of similar age to you and based in the UK

Oh sound mate is it ok to email you? What were the side effects like? read up on it but not sure just how much and what actually effects you although sure it differs from person to person. Someone did mention a couple of things but thought I'd give them a shot.

oh and did it work? stop hair loss, any grow back?

I went to my Doctor and its nearly £30 GBP for just 8 pills.

Get your doctor to write you a prescription for Proscar instead and then cut the pills into quarters. Proscar is the same medicine, only five times as strong, and yet it costs the same.

I have tried it
actually that and rogaine are the only things I did try before a piece.

I was only on it for a week because i was shedding like a dog! I mean all over my head. I would wake up and the pillow would be covered with hair. During the day I would find hair on my shoulders,etc..

I stopped and 2 days later the shedding stopped. Guys in another forum were saying that was just a coincedence and I would have lost hair anyway...at the nape of my neck? dont think so. I dont know what I did with the pills but I am sure they are very expired.

I have found on the net that you can buy it in a form called finpecia at a fraction of the cost £53 for 180 pills, its from india. Anyone gave these a shot? They contain the same 1 mg dosage as propecia... The company is in house pharmacy - anyone had any dealings?

All this stuff sounds well dodgey to me

"Oi Ranjit you got 100 pils mate?

Regards BA.

im sure ukdoctor gets his propecia from india

Finpecia and the generic versions of Propecia should be just the same. All these India-produced generic brands are just as good as the real thing as far as propecia anyway. That was what my research ended up with.

Propecia might work OK for you, or you might get nasty side-effects. There's no way to know beforehand.
Just be aware of the fact that you'll be messing with the hormone system in your body. It's not like taking vitamin pills.

The (many different) sides I got was quite bad. It took a LONG time before my libido was fully back.
Some guys even grow breasts (gynocomastia) with these pills, and there is a website with people claiming permanent erectile damage and libido drops after using propecia - and the newest version called avodart is even stronger - stay away from that. I've read some forums where guys have gotten severe skin issues with that drug and complete impotence.
Some of these are kinda extreme cases, but I noticed firsthand the severity of this drug's side-effects. It doesn't help whatever the %-ratio for side-effects is, if it happens to YOU.
Avodart takes 5 MONTHS to be purged completely from the body (if taken for several months). If you become impotent because of the drug, then..well you get the point.

Propecia is not legal/allowed in Norway btw., and I can understand why.

You might be just fine, but this is a weird drug. The sides may show up early, or later. Eg., after 10 months suddenly your dick will be almost completely numb... For me, the sides started after about 6 weeks, and I shedded hair like crazy the entire time I took the pills. I thought my body would normalize and loose the side effects, but no..

I also grew fatty tissue in a typical woman pattern: around the stomach, inside of the thighs etc..
Luckily I loose weigh easily...

I'm not some crazy anti-drug dude, believe me. I've never had allergies or side-effect reactions before in my life (that I've been aware of), but this drug was pure poison to my body. - and it did nothing for my hair.

The original drug is Proscar, a prostrate drug for older (and middle-aged) men. If you take it in your mid-20s whatever, there's a difference you know. I don't buy the sideeffect %-ratio for a second. Go to hairloss meds forums, they're filled with guys with sides - and very few success stories. Believe me, I've read a few.

(Yep, I'm stil lurking around here.

I may be mistaken, but aren't all those drugs good for the bald spot (crown) only? Plus, if you ever stop takin' em the hair falls right back out? Although...if I had my own breasts I would never need to go on another date again...

I guess its one of these things that I'll just try and see how it turns out. I'd never considered it before then read that matthew mcconaughey had used it and there was some old mug shot where you could clearly see he was thinning and receding and then another shot of him after with a great hairline, apparently on a chat show he said it was the result of propecia.

I have checked around the net and seen some success stories and others where nothing had happened or with side effects. They do boast pretty succesful stats though, 60% odd had no further loss and 40% odd actually grew some back (generally crown but hairline too).

As with hair pieces there is only so much reading you can do and then you just have to take the plunge. On the pharmacy web sites they dotn mention or I haven't seen anything on shedding with this. Is it a common side effect? Be interested if anyone has tried it and wether it worked out or not....

Will place an order with this cheap indian company but any more feedback/advice appreciated.

Cheers

Matthew McConaughey did not say he used Propecia. Publicly he claims he used a herbal tonic called Regenix. The boffins on the hairloss topicals boards all agree that that is a load of bull - no one has had a comparable result from Regenix.

The speed of McConaughey's improvement, and the fact he is occasionally photographed looking less well-endowed in the hair department than usual, suggests he is in fact using a good partial piece, and the Regenix story is just a cover.
