Hi,

Can anyone point me in the direction of a reliable supplier for Proscar?

I obtained my previous batch from Dr. Ashcroft, but I'm not getting a reply from him. Has his contact details changed?


Thanks,

WW.

Phone him. Alternatively, there's Boots Hair Retention Programme or your local GP.

Can anyone confirm for me what Dr Ashcroft's email address shoudl be?

Does Spex still deal with him?

try

john.ashcroft@nhs.net

Call him mate - do not email him as he is crap with email

Info on my web site


Dr Ashcroft info

Top bloke!!

Thanks - what is the best time of day to phone him - does he do texting?


Thanks.

I just called him today to order some proscar. He said they now do a generic one which is exactly the same and fine to use. Saves you about £50 from the origional.

I called him at 5:30pm.

After asking the same question on an american forum an english guy gave me some advice and I recently ordered my last batch of propecia from a site called www.Direct-propecia.co.uk it was really good value and it came in two days signed international postage (think it was from Jersey) But none the less good service.

When i first got into using fin i was a bit naive and ordered my first batch from one of the really expensive sites that google throws up in the top rankings, only a months worth but i mean with a bit of investigating I managed to get like 4 months worth for the same price. I guess it pays to shop around.

Having said that the second batch i ordered from one of the bigger pharma sites, it was cheap but took 3.5 weeks to get here had to ring them up and nearly got them to send out a second batch and it arrived on the final cut off day (Phew) but in the mean time i had a window of about 5 days which i had ran out in, that wasn't great.

Never tried Doctor Ashcroft does he do generics or the real Merck stuff ? quite curious.

ive had my last 2 lots off dr ashcroft.
i run out a few weeks ago, need to get more before i undo all the good work
does anyone know how much the generic stuff costs

Ashcroft does the generic also

Been on propecia from doctor ashcroft for two years now -really happy with it but i need to re order what is this generic ,i think i would prefer the original.
I would like to say thanks to all the help and advice on this website

Just give him a call and allow him to explain - its basically the same (my understanding)

Hi,

Just started looking into Propecia - an Im already confused. Am I right in saying that in the UK I need a prescription (i.e. Dr Ashcroft), or I can get it on line?

I was looking at http://www.direct-propecia.co.uk, and they do 2 products:

1mg Generic Propecia (Finax) 360 x 1mg (12 month's) Generic Propecia £120.00

5mg Generic Proscar (Finast) 360 x 5mg (12 month's) Generic Proscar £160.00


what is the difference between the two? Can I cut up the generic Proscar into 1/5th, and effectivly get 5 years worth for £160 ?

Had anyone used http://www.direct-propecia.co.uk ?

Pianoman, be very careful with internet pharmacies. Many unregulated foreign websites are selling fake drugs that will at the very least be a waste of your money, at worst harm your health.

You used to have to get Propecia on private prescription from a GP, but in the last couple of years some pharmacists have also gained the right to prescribe medicines. Since then, Boots and Lloyds Pharmacy have both started selling Propecia - the former in selected stores, the latter online.

Dr Ashcroft will prescribe you Proscar or a 'generic' version of the same. Proscar is a 5mg dose of finasteride licensed for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. Propecia is a 1mg dose of finasteride licensed for treating hair loss. The active ingredient is exactly the same. You can split a Proscar tablet into fifths and get the same effect as Propecia, but cheaper.

Hi Pondle,

Thank you for that detailed reply.
Lloyds Pharmacy on line is £285 for 6 months!
Looks like generic Proscar, prescribed from a GP is the way to go.

I live outside of the UK. What's a good site for ordering generic fin?
