Dear Dr. Roach,I was prescribed propecia by the brand-name drug Propecia. I have been experiencing persistent hair loss for the past two months. I was prescribed it as a treatment for a male problem called an enlarged prostate. I have had severe hair loss for over two years and have been taking Propecia for more than two years now. I have experienced scalp hair loss, which has continued for over a month after I stopped taking Propecia. My doctor suggested a new hair loss treatment as an alternative to the Propecia treatment. I am also considering taking a prescription from my doctor. I am not seeing any issues at all with hair loss, nor is it a side effect that I have reported to my doctor. I am worried that my hair will fall out over time. I also wonder if the hair loss will go away or it may be permanent. Do you have any tips on how to manage hair loss and other medical conditions? Thank you in advance
I am in a similar situation. I have had a hair transplant procedure and I am concerned about losing my hair. I am taking Propecia and my doctor prescribed me 1mg of Propecia as a treatment for my condition. It is possible that I will become pregnant by taking Propecia and then be unable to conceive for some time as I am taking Propecia and the hair loss is not being treated with the drug. I am considering taking finasteride tablets. I am concerned about the possible side effects of taking finasteride tablets. The doctor also said that there is no known drug that will interact with Propecia and will be harmful to the body. Is there anything I can do to reduce the risk of this and make the hair fall out?
As far as I know, there is no known drug that will interact with Propecia and will be harmful to the body. I am worried about the possible side effects of taking finasteride tablets. The doctor said that there is no known drug that will interact with Propecia and will be harmful to the body.
I am a man of a similar age as you. I am currently taking Propecia and am worried about losing my hair. The doctor suggested that I take Finasteride tablets.

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.

If the patient is suffering from hair loss which has not been treated with finasteride 1mg before, may be on the new, lower-cost equivalent which would be a better fit.
Finasteride (Proscar or Propecia) is a medication used in dogs to restore infertility issues caused by benign prostatic hypertrophy (an enlargement of the prostate gland caused by hormones) and treat the general clinical signs associated with it.
Finasteride is a hormone antagonist which stops testosterone from being converted to dihydrotestosterone, the hormone that stimulates prostate growth. Finasteride can be used to help with signs related to benign prostatic hypertrophy such as increased urge to urinate, straining to defecate, and blood in the urine.
Finasteride blocks production of the body's male hormone, which causes prostate enlargement.
Finasteride for dogs is used in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlarged prostate) in dogs.
