Hey everyone, haven't posted in a while. Well I'ved decided to try and get on Propecia, people have convinced me not to go ahead with HT because of my young age(23). You can order Propecia online but I was just wondering is it exactly safe to order this online without the consultation of a doctor?

CL, I don't know the answer to this, accept that it probably depends who you buy it online from.

I assume you're talking about one of these online establishments that will give you and online consultation, prescribe, and then sell.

I've had good luck with those in the past, but have heard rumors of others that are selling watered down or fake medicine.

Let me know if you know a dependable source.

C.L.,

I have been advising against ordering from online pharmacies for a couple of years now. Not becuase I think that all or even most are bad, but because I know that some are. Search Google News for instances of confiscated counterfeit prescription drugs that are being seized by U.S. and other countries' customs officials and you will quickly see why I am so hesitant.

The criminals that run online prescription drug scams are not low rent crooks that are packaging blatantly obvious aspirin. They are sophisticated criminals that are able to duplicate packaging, labeling, and pill architecture. So the end user is ultimately completely unable to determine if the drugs they are recieving are legitimate or not. Propecia isn't really cheap at around $50 a month, but what is more expensive: $50 a month and knowing that the medication you recieve from your pharmacy is real or $25 a month and ingesting a medication that can be fake or even dangerous.

Additionally, you can obtain a prescription for Proscar from physicians that realize that cutting these 5mg finasteride pills into quarters and taking one quarter a day is a viable alternative to taking a 1mg of finasteride Propecia pill per day, possibly saving you around $20 to $25 a month.

Check out the article " Save money on your Propecia " that explains Proscar in more depth.

My advice would be to talk to your doctor to get a prescription to Proscar or Propecia to be on the safe side.

OTOH, if you purchase Viagra online, you may get ripped off, but you will know for sure fairly quickly....maybe as early as 15 minutes.

Doesn't stop crooks from making it, as reported in this article from just a week ago:

No Valentine's day for fake viagra pusher

Counterfeit drugs are a big business. And the guys that think that criminals are overlooking popular drugs that men have to take daily for the rest of their life in favor of just Viagra and Cialis are kidding themselves.

I do appreciate the danger, and that it appears to be growing. I've bought online before with good results, and with an online consult, but I have to admit I'm a bit twitchy about doing it now.
