I filled my rx for propecia but the pharmacy sent fincom-5 instead. Is it the same effectiveness? I want to know if it is good for hair loss? ## Fincom-5 contains the same active ingredient as Propecia. The only difference is that Fincom-5 contains 5mg of finasteride, but Propecia - 1 mg of finasteride. You can split one tablet into 4 parts and take per 1 part daily for hair loss treatment. ## Yes. Propecia is mainly used to treat male pattern hair loss. It is a very effective medication used for an enlarged prostate (scalp hair loss). If you are suffering from a hair loss problem then Propecia may be the best solution for it.

I have a small yellow pill. Is it a small version of Propecia? ## ## Chemical composition of finotop1 include significant traces of aluminium phospide (commonly used in rat poison). Product is manufactured IndSwift Laboratories,Mohali (Punjab) India. Company has been involved in a number of high profile contamination cases in India. ## Why is there no other information about the drup at all ? Is it really safe? How can we get more information ? Does this drup being a subsitute of propecia which is approved by FPA needs to be approved? ## I don't know what the deal is with it, but I just threw out every pill I had becaue of comment number 2. I've been taking it for 3 months, nothing happened, but it's not worth killing my body in the process of trying to keep my hair. ## How ...

Ordered propecia & received Fincom-5 It just has the name on the pill not 5 & didn't have a box or any info. How do I know if it's real? I will go to a Dr next time. Came from Combic Global Caplet PVT.LTD ## Hello, Allen! How are you? Unfortunately, when you order that way, there is no way of knowing for sure what you will receive and whether or not it is legit. Additionally, I can't even find anything listed under the name Fincom. Does anyone else know more?

I ordered Propecia (finasteride) tablets from an internet site (1mg)...i thought they were supposed to come from the US, but i received a bunch of pills from India, without proper packaging. They are plain white tablets with no markings on them. It says they are called Finmax (Finasteride tablets USP), from a company called Zenlabs Pharmaceutics Inc. 90 Pinnay Cres, Canada R2P1E7.

Women are not allowed to take Fincom-1 , Propecia... nor any other type of Finastride!!! I was taking the generic form of Propecia called Proscalpin for 6 months. I have now switched to Fincom-1 (1 mg Ffinastride). The pill is pink, which is unsettling as the only pink pill they make is the 5mg not the 1mg. Giving it a go though.........will message back in 1-2 months time and let you all know how I'm getting on ## That warning is actually only relevant to women that are, or may become pregnant. The medication can be absorbed through the skin and it has been shown to cause some very serious birth defects. The dangers are not present for women who are infertile, for whatever reason.

I have been sold Finotop 1 tablets saying that it is Propecia from Canada Meds. I know this medicine is purchased from India. Can anyone tell me if i have been sold something wrong? ## I tried locating some information regarding the drugs in which has been sold to you. The only information I located was stating that Finotop was the generic form Propecia. I also located the active ingredient which is Finasteride. If the medication you have has the same ingredient then you should be ok. I am not completely sure if you have the drug you want, I would try going to your nearest pharmacist and ask them if they would have an idea what your pill is. They may also have a difficult time telling you what your pill is, since you purchased them online. What is important that the website in which you...

Finmax from Zenlabs India/Canada was received for an online order of Propecia/Finasteride. Is Zenlabs reputable and is Finmax Finasteride? ## Zenlabs replied to my inquiry stating that Finmax is Finasteride, but have been unable to verify by any independent source. My location is in the U.S. Midwest. namaste ## From what I am finding, yes, it is listed as containing Finasteride, I have found it listed as such at several sites and purchased by quite a few people due to the cheaper price. The Zenlabs in India is a partner of the Canadian company by the same name. This means their products are probably manufatured according to similar safety and quality standards, though I am not familiar with them myself. There have been complaints listed about many Indian companies and the medications th...

Omg I had to stop taking the Fincom 1 pill it was just making me sick after 1 week, its should have been propecia but they send me Fincom I will not recommend this to anyone. Waste of money. ## Hello, Anthony! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem you encountered. However, that's one of the hazards of ordering medications in such a manner, there's no way of knowing what you're going to receive and what the quality is. That's why the FDA regulates the ones that are available in U.S pharmacies. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Actually Fincom-1 and Propecia is the same drug. Both contain the same active ingredient - finasteride and act in the same way. Fincom-1 is the generic version of Propecia. ## Hello. I'm looking for (fincom-1) finasteride 1m...

It might be a "D" on one side and the other is an "F5". And the pill is the color of a morphine pill. ## There are many colors of Morphine tablets, including varying shades of blue, so that really means nothing. This pill with a company logo and F5 on the opposite side contains 5mgs of Finasteride, the active ingredient in Propecia. It is used to treat certain prostate problems and hair loss. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, and gynecomastia.

Propecia finasteride is the most effective drug treatment for male pattern hair loss. It is the first oral treatment – in the pill form – that helps stop further hair loss as well as boosts new hair growth in men who are prescribed this treatment for male pattern baldness. About Propecia finasteride Propecia finasteride is prescribed to men who suffer from male pattern baldness, which is also known as androgenetic alopecia. Finasteride in Propecia is the active ingredient, which works by lowering the dihydrotestosterone or DHT levels in the scalp. Although an important sex hormone, DHT weakens the hair follicles in the scalp, eventually leading to hair fall. Propecia is not for everyone. It is specifically designed for men who suffer from male pattern baldness. It is not a s...

These are much safer than prior HIV combination therapy medications. Less liver and kidney toxicity and less bone calcium catabolism causing osteomalacia. Also, another choice for those that can't tolerate other anti HIV meds. It's once a day and we are blessed to finally get to this point. Since we don't have a vaccine and it's sexually transmitted, HiV potentially effects every sexually active person on the planet. A milestone in the long and winding life with HIV.
