Do You Think Original Hair Loss Medication Works Better Than a Generic Copy?

Hello,

This is Dana Plastic Surgery!

Let’s take a look at hair loss medication, which is a topic of interest for many people with hair loss!

Do you think original hair loss medication works better than a generic copy?

There are generic copies and original drugs among hair loss medications,

so why do people think the original drug is more effective?

Just because it is an original drug,

it is not some massive concentration of technology!

Rather, when a new drug protected by a patent

loses patent protection, generic copies are released.

Propecia, the name synonymous with hair loss medication,

is also now being sold in dozens of generic medicines

as its patent has expired.

What is a generic medicine?

It is a medicine with the same ingredient that passes a bioequivalence test

and is approved if it shows 80% or more effectiveness.

If you say, 'I want to take only medication that is definitely effective, even by 1%,'

then

people like that can take Propecia.

Otherwise,

there is no need to take Propecia.

Was the original drug actually more effective?

No, it was not.

Why does the original drug feel more effective?

Due to psychological factors,

there may be a placebo effect in which symptoms appear that are not caused by the drug’s effect or side effects.
