Finpecia from India is Cheap Propecia

5 comments

I just bought a bunch of bootleg Indian drugs! What would usually cost me $2.20 in the United States is available for only $.11 in India. That means that for every one pill I buy in the United States, I can buy twenty (20) in India.

Finpecia has the exact same ingredient as Propecia by Merck (1mg Finasteride). Finpecia is made by one of India's biggest pharmaceutical manufacturers, Cipla. The company is best known for their anti-AIDS drugs, which cost $12,000 in the West but only $300 in India.

Indian law protects only the processes by which drugs are made, and not the actual drugs themselves. This means Indian companies can ignore drug patents from the West, provided they use a manufacturing process that is different from the original.

The drug that I purchased, Finpecia (1mg Finasteride) is given to men between the ages of 18 to 41 years with mild to moderate hair loss. My father and my mother's father are both balding, so I consider Propecia/Finpecia/finasteride an insurance policy for my future barbers.

To purchase the drug, I simply went to the nearest chemist and asked for Finpecia. No prescription was required. Considering I take one Propecia pill per day in America, this could represent a $766.50 annual cost savings for me.
