Taking action on the national crisis of baldness, government pharmacists will introduce a treatment to the market for as little as THB10.

According to the Government Pharmaceutical Organization, it will bring to the market "GPO-Finax 1," a treatment based on Finasteride, which is commonly used to treat another male malady: the enlarged prostate. It’s also used for transsexual hormone therapy and apparently encourages hair growth as the active ingredient in treatments such as Propecia.

 

"This pill is another hope of bald people," organization Director Nopporn Cheunklim said. "We're producing and packaging the pills. They are expected to sold within this year."

 

The treatment costs THB10 per pill and comes in 30 tablets per box. They will be sold at local pharmacies, Manager reported.

I predict brisk sales. Erectile dysfunction and hair growth are two huge markets with plenty of gullible, I mean potential, customers.

Well, after all, it is a "national crisis" ;) And a certain BM might want to take it to enhance his beard growth thus providing more nesting space for various critters ;)

I tried Finasteride tablets and killed my libido, i'd rather be balding and horny

Hey Noppie. Produce a pill that allows me to eat and drink as much as I want without me putting on weight and I’ll be all ears. In the meantime cut the crap that infers bald people are in some way lacking 'hope'.

I might become more of a sexy man?

Best cure?  Not giving a flying fuck.

Why pump your body full of chemicals when other alternatives are available.

They have its called t3, but like most medicines it comes with side effects.

I was meaning a specific pill, not one designed for something else where weight loss is a secondary 'benefit'.

Well at least the ED pills work for most!

So it's another version of propecia, like kamagra is to Viagra?

 

I been using propecia for over 14 years and no problems. I can still chop onions with my cock when I get hard.

Being bald has it's advantages.  I haven't been to a barber or bought shampoo for over 20 years... i can only guess how much $$ I've saved for not giving a fuck.

Did a large Pharma company (Merk, for example) conduct the R & D.

 

Based on Finasteride? Finasteride is on the market. I've taken it since 1998.

 

Does the new product reduce side-effects?

Myster, the Thai GPO has been manufacturing generic versions of popular or expensive drugs for decades now. This latest product is no different. A few days ago, I bought a bottle of 100 paracetamol tablets of 500 mg each for ฿29 from a GPO retail shoppe, versus paying about ฿10 for ten tabs of Tylenol.

 

How does the price stated in the linked article compare to your personal experience in buying the non-generic since '98?

[expatdude]

Where are GPO retail shops?

Where are GPO retail shops?

I use the GPO shoppe at the base of the elevators on the ground floor of the Bangkok Government Complex, just under the Immigration office off Chang Wattana Road.

 

I've been keeping an eye out for one in Patts, intending to use it when I make the move later this year. Been trying to search online for locations but it's proving a very difficult task.

 

Alternatively, I've read that many pharmacies stock GPO manufactured drugs, with this label:

 

Ithink a lot of pharmacies are reluctant to admit that the lower cost products are available.

The best treatment money can but is called a Mach 3 Razor..

Yeah but finasteride will give many erectile dysfunction so is it the little head or the big head that wins?  My money is on the little head.
