I know its off topic but in case anyone wants to consider it. I recently also added Dutasteride into my regiment. 3 days DUT and 3 days FIN, 1 day rest.

Generic. It'll still be more expensive compared to Finasteride though.
Your major pharmacy chain usually carries 2 brands of Generics
Intasteride from Intega (Spain), 30x 0.5mg for RM140
Uroka from thailand, 30x 0.5mg for RM114 --> Both A and B now same price, i actually complained why it was cheaper at one place and now they matched each others pricing, lol.

If you travel overseas, stock up:
In India its rm65 for dr reddy
In Italy its cheap, only 8.40 euros, controlled price, every pharmacy same price
Dont bother with Thailand, more expensive than msia. Teva brand at the famous Siam Pharmacy, 980 baht ~rm127

woah.. Still expensive for me. Dut dosage is 0.5mg daily right... So if switch to dut gonna be RM114 per month..

Currently using generic fin 5mg cut into quarters. Taking daily around 1.25mg+-
A strip of 10 tablets is like around RM10 only..

I'm norwood 2 only, idk if im ready to blow exponentially more on hair care.. Quite a big jump to go like less than RM10/month to RM110++/month..

The only reason i was considering to switch to dut was because even on Fin i notice i still shed a lot of hair during shower when washing hair..
Not like clumps of hair or what, but like easily got 6~8 strands of hair whenever i shower wash my hair. Then after that when styling my hair, spiky-ish medium length, when pulling/moving the hair around another 4~5 strands would come out as well.

Unless this is normal and you also experience same thing?

I have 0 side effects on fin as well. In fact, i feel my libido increased cause im way hornier these days.. and idk if im tripping or what. Ever since i got on fin i notice my didi size grew in length. Not magical or what la duh, but i feel maybe cause the erection actually became better compared to before i hopped on fin around 1.5~2 years ago..

Another cheaper alternative is to buy 100s tablet box.
Brand is Hirustin from Zonton, 100x 5mg for rm130, also from your major pharmacy chain that starts with a B.

Oh yea and im gonna switch to oral minox soon. I stopped topical minox cause i feel it has no effects. Didn't see any improvements in my trouble areas at the temples..

So wanna give oral minox a try. I stopped topical minox for like 8 months dy.. Currently just taking fin only..

What dosage of oral minox are you on? 1.25mg?

B = is it big pharmacy?

I asked around the pharmacy i usually go to, they selling Hirsutin 1 box for RM147.. So if can get RM130 at other places will be better..

But i still getting my fin 5mg from my regular pharma. 1 strip = RM7.50, dirt cheap..

the plans for dut gonna be put on hold for now.. The jump in cost from RM5/6 bucks per month to RM110++ per month is too steep for me..

For now just gonna try adding oral minox first and see whether there's any improvement..
