Is Generic Propecia / Proscar Any Good?
Do REAL versions of generic Proscar/Propecia exist? I see them at online pharmacies but I’m not sure I should trust in them.
Legal generic versions of Propecia and Proscar do not exist. In countries that do not recognize the US and International patent systems, generic versions are produced, but then you do not know if they work or if they are even real. A patient who recently came back from India brought back some Indian Viagra, which he said did not work for him, although the American version did clearly work. It is easy to see if Viagra works, but on the other hand, Propecia is harder to tell if it is working. The old rule, “Buyer Beware”, still prevails!
Still not legal in the US due to patent laws, which I believe expires in late 2013. The Proscar patent did expire in 2006 (after the above post was created), which is why that medication is available in the US.
Buying prescription medications online without a prescription required is against US law.
