Generic drugs are the drugs that are made up of the same ingredients and are also prescribed in the same dosages. But there is an only one difference between a generic drug and branded drug and that is these drugs are sold under the generic as well as chemical name. Anyone can manufacture the drugs which is not true for the branded drugs where the manufacturing rights are held by only one company.
Propecia 1 mg treats male pattern hair loss in men only and should not be used by women or children. Finasteride (marketed as Proscar, Propecia, Fincar, Finpecia, Finax, Finast, Finara, Finalo, Prosteride, Gefina, Appecia, Finasterid IVAX, Finasterid Alternova) is a synthetic antiandrogen which acts by inhibiting type II 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is used to cure acute prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in low doses, and prostate cancer in higher doses. Propecia 1mg is the only approved medicine that can be recommended for treatment of pattern baldness in men. Propecia lowers the levels of DHT in the scalp. This helps to reverse the balding process, leading to an increased hair growth and prevention of further hair loss.
Finasteride or generic Propecia shows its effect on the enzyme 5-alpha reductase which helps in conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, and in turn weakens hair follicles and causes hair loss. Propecia’s work is to stop this hair loss by keeping the levels of 5-alpha reductase in check.
Feedbacks:
1. I have been taking Propecia (Finasteride) 1 mg pills each day for the past two months. Within the first two or three weeks of this drug, I noticed two things: that my scalp (and the hair near the scalp) was becoming less oily, and that the rate at which my hair fell off on a daily basis was also noticeably reduced. I plan to continue with the suggested dosage indefinitely, and I'm hoping that in future I will see regrowth in the areas in which I have suffered hair loss.

2. A few years ago I had been using Rogaine and decided to try Propecia. I stopped using Propecia after a couple of months because I noticed more hair loss in that 2 month period than ever before. When I went back to Rogaine, it seemed to help. I still use Rogaine, but in my opinion it only slows hair loss and does not stop it, or re-grow hair.
