Hi Dr Rassman,
I’m considering buying generic propecia made in india by CIPLAThe online pharmacy is: [site removed]. Do you think this is advisable?
Cipla makes generic finasteride available in 1mg form as Finpecia and as 5mg form as Fincar, but I do not know about buying prescription drugs through online pharmacies. If you chose to purchase generic finasteride via the web, do so at your own risk.
Also, it is important to note that 1mg generic finasteride (for hair) is not yet legally available in the United States due to patent restrictions, but you can get the 5mg generic finasteride (for prostate) at US pharmacies with a doctor’s prescription and just cut the pill in quarter-sized pieces.
For more on Cipla, see their entry in Wikipedia.

FYI, I use generic Dutasteride, Dutas, manufactured by Dr. Reddy’s. It has not only stopped my hairloss cold, it’s regrowing and thickening my hair at a pretty amazing rate. I buy it from Inhouse Pharmacy.
