The UK patent forPropecia, a hair loss treatment for men, expired on the 11th Oct 2014. A few days later ‘generic Propecia’ or more accurately ‘generic finasteride’ became available from UK pharmacies. A generic medicine is a medicine which is the same as a branded original, but is prescribed and supplied by its medical name, rather than its brand name.
Propecia is a brand name. The active ingredient of Propecia tablets isfinasteride 1mg. Propecia tablets and finasteride 1mg tablets are medically the same.
Dr Fox supplies both from the drug companyMerck(MSD), which held the original patent, and lower cost, which other drug companies have made available since Merck’s UK patent expired.
When a medicine comes off patent price can fall dramatically. Men, who previously paid very high prices for Propecia, may be able to buy medically identical finasteride 1mg at lower prices.
When a medicine is under patent it can only be sold legally by the patent holder. This means the patent holder, which is normally the drug company which paid to develop the medicine in the first place, is free to market the medicine without competition from other pharmaceutical companies. The result is usually very high prices. When a patent expires other drug companies usually start to produce the same medicine, known as a generic copy, and start to compete on price. As a result the cost to patients tends to fall.
The cost to patients of a medicine depends on various factors; how much it costs to produce, how much demand there is, how many drug companies supply the same medicine, and how flexible the market is. Even when the wholesale supply price of a medicine falls, the price patients pay does not always fall by the same amount. Retail pharmacies may try not to pass on reduced supply costs to patients, and instead use falling wholesale prices to boost profits. If there is price competition between retailers, as there tends to be between online pharmacies and online clinics, price to patients usually fall in line with falls in wholesale supply costs, but not always.
Dr Fox is one of the lowest cost suppliers of most medicines for both branded and generic medicines.
At the moment (10 Dec 2014) only three pharmaceutical companies, apart from Merck, are supplying finasteride 1mg tablets. These companies areTrent,Actavis, andMylanAt the time of writing, all are offering their generic equivalent of Propecia at the same price; about 10% less than branded Propecia. Prices will hopefully tumble further in the days and weeks to come (as happened when last year).UPDATE JANUARY 2022Generic finasteride is now less than 30% of the price of Propecia from Dr Fox.
The original patent holder, Merck (MSD) may reduce the price of Propecia, or start to market its own generic finasteride 1mg alongside branded Propecia.
Not all men who previously took Propecia will switch to generic finasteride 1mg, even if the price of Propecia remains high and generic finasteride is a lot cheaper. If a patient is happy with a particular brand of tablet, they often will not switch to a lower cost equivalent, even if they are reliably advised that one tablet is medically the same as the other. Whether or not they switch depends on how much they wish to economise, and all the other factors which keep people buying certain products at high prices when they do not have to.
Finasteride 1mg tablets are taken daily to reduce hair loss in men, and can promote hair regrowth. See Dr Fox for details.
Cheap Propecia may be on its way which would be welcome news to the many men suffering distress as a result of male pattern hair loss.
Lee Bolivia Nottingham BST, 10 daysLee, a professional/gyogolics student from Warwickshire, has been struggling to get a prescription for finasteride 1mg tablets since he was told that he had developed a bald spot after taking finasteride 1mg tablets for years. His long hairline is now severely thinning.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Propecia, also known by its generic name finasteride, is a medication primarily used to treat male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) and an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH]). Developed in the 1970s, Propecia was approved by the FDA in 1992 and marketed under the brand name Avodart. It is available as a tablet and is often prescribed for men who are experiencing symptoms such as rapid hair loss and difficulty maintaining a consistent hairline. It works by inhibiting the growth of an enzyme called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is responsible for the miniaturization of hair follicles and the miniaturization of the prostate gland. As a result, the hair follicle can regrow and lengthen, ultimately improving hair growth and potentially preventing further hair loss. Propecia is available in oral tablet form and is available in varying dosages depending on the individual's condition and the severity of the hair loss. The active ingredient in Propecia is finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that inhibits the production of DHT in the body.
WHY is this medicine prescribed?
Propecia is used to treat male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) and an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH]). Propecia is available in oral tablet form and is often prescribed for men who are experiencing symptoms such as rapid hair loss and difficulty maintaining a consistent hairline.
HOW should this medicine be used?
Propecia is usually taken orally in the dose and duration as directed by your healthcare provider. It can be taken with or without food, but it is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. It is generally recommended that the medication be taken once daily for the duration of the treatment. The medication should be taken at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels of the medication in the bloodstream. It is important to continue taking the medication even if you feel well, as this can affect the effectiveness of the medication. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
What are the side effects of Propecia?
The most commonly reported side effects of Propecia include:
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, notify your healthcare provider.
What are the precautions to follow while using Propecia?
Before taking Propecia, inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you may have, such as heart problems, liver or kidney disease, or high or low blood pressure. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before taking Propecia. Propecia can affect the way your body metabolizes finasteride and may affect its absorption in the bloodstream. Therefore, inform your healthcare provider of any medication you are taking, including over-the-counter supplements, vitamins, and herbal products. Do not consume alcohol or grapefruit juice while taking Propecia unless directed by your healthcare provider.

The most common side effects of Proscar include a decreased interest in sexual intercourse, inability to have or keep an erection, or a loss in sexual ability, desire, drive or performance. Talk to your doctor or a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or are severe.
You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:
While rare, these symptoms require immediate medical attention. This is not a complete list of side effects associated with finasteride. Studies have shown that finasteride can increase your risk of developing breast cancer or high-grade prostate cancer, which spreads and grows more rapidly than other types of prostate cancer.
Studies have also shown that Proscar can affect the results of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, which may be used to detect prostate cancer. Be sure to tell your healthcare provider that you are taking finasteride so that they are aware of any medication interference with PSA testing.
Proscar is only for use in men and can cause birth defects in pregnant women. If you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or plan on becoming pregnant and touch crushed or broken Proscar tablets, you should wash your hands and call your doctor right away.
