Is Finpecia the Same as Propecia?

December 24, 2017
Asked By:uSmanali6323 in Barcelona, ES

I'm using Propecia (Finesterida Mylan 1mg) for the last 1 month. But now i find from internet another called Finpecia for the same purpose n less expensive than Propecia. Can someone plz tell me the difference between Propecia and Finpecia. Do they have same benefits n side effects? Although I'm little worried about the sexual side effects of Propecia i noticed in this period. Are these side effects harmless n temporary r may continue after stopping its use?
