Hi all I'm trying to find finasteride 5mg in a pharmacy here in Santiago, Dominican Republic but the pharmacies I have visited do not know what it is. It's this under a different name like acetometophen and paracetamol?


Thanks!

My google search turned up an interesting article on finasteride! An excerpt, and the reason it came up in my search:

"To gain some insight, one must look back at the bizarre origin story of finasteride, set improbably in the jungles of the Dominican Republic..."


Here's a link to a hair restoration doc in Santo Domingo. Her site mentions using Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine in addition to transplants, so someone in her office might be able to tell you where you can find it.
