Anyone have a reliable source for this?  I used to buy a box of 30 on Lazada for 600 THB, which was a fair price. and tehre were always several merchants to choose from  Now it's not showing up anywhere on Lazada, and a Google search doesn't list anything but fake imitators.

 

It is available at my local pharmacy, but at 850 THB which is not a huge difference but still...why overpay if you don't have to.

I have repeatedly ordered other BPH medication at "Medisafe Pharmacy" Bangkok.

Prices always better than at our local pharmacies.

Finasteride is available over the counter.

So no question they can ship it.

 

You can contact and order via Facebook messenger.

Pre payment by bank transfer.

I pay 520 baht for 30X5 mg Firide tablets at a Fascino pharmacy in Chiang Rai.

it always puzzles me why prices of a standard pharmaceutical vary so wildly in Thailand. I buy Codiphen in Chiang Mai, 50 baht. In Chiang Rai, it's 130 baht.

Why Finasteride only up to 41 years?


From the age of 42, the stage of androgenetic alopecia is usually so advanced that taking finasteride usually has little effect. Due to the lack of active hair follicles on the scalp, the active ingredient can only show a few improvements.

 

However, reports of side effects have been increasing recently. Patients complain of depression up to suicidal thoughts, erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, sleep disturbances.

Finasteride slows down the effect of the sex hormone testosterone via an enzyme.!!

I get Prosteride ( Finasteride) from a Chemist in San Pee Seua, Chiang Mai, 300B for 30 tablets for enlarged prostate.

But my brother in law in Canada is prescribed Dustasteride, which research shows to be more effective and cheaper.

 I believe they can take up to 6 months to be effective.

The 5 mg dose of Finasteride is not used to treat baldness

 It is used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy which affects older men.

 

Dosage for alopecia is only 1 mg.

Well, but many men use a pill splitter for the 5mg pills. It's much cheaper than to buy the 1mg Pack.????

Balding men around the world are aware of that. Because the 5mg pill is only marginally more expensive than the 1 mg pill, they break the bigger pill into pieces to save money on top of saving hair. A win-win situation. ????????????
