My Pharmacy Gave Me a Different Generic Finasteride Brand This Time
Hi Dr. Rassman,
My pharmacy (CVS) gave me a different type of finasteride (actavis), after a year of using the same one (mylan). Do you think this matters ? Or should I go back, and ask for the originally generic they have been giving me for the past year.
Thanks
I wouldn’t think it would make a difference, so long as the active ingredient (finasteride) is the same in both. Do what works for you. Speak with your pharmacist if you have concerns.
Their seems to be a lot of brand changing on a lot of medications at the pharmacies I use. It’s probably cheaper for them or they couldn’t get the usual brand.
