FAQs:
Why is Propecia prescribed?
Propecia contains Finasteride which blocks the action of an enzyme known as 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone to another hormone (dihydrotestosterone, DHT) that causes the prostate to grow or leads to hair loss in males. However, this enzyme-blocking action will increase the testosterone levels in the body which in turn will decrease the prostate size and increase hair growth on the scalp. Having said that, this medication enables a man an erection, it does not lead to sexual arousal. Also, it is not a protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STD) such as HIV, and hepatitis B, hence practicing safe sex is advisable.

I have dealt with these people for well over three years and I can honestly say that they have provided excellent service and amazing prices for the medications I receive. I would suggest anyone interested in reducing the cost of their medications that they get online with offshore Cheap meds

OCM is, in my opinion, the very best place to shop for meds online. They sell top quality medicine at an extremely lower price than I get with my insurance. Delivery is fast considering where it comes from offshore. For me, this is the only place to shop for my particule medicine needs.

I've used Offshore Cheap Meds for over 10 years. The medication works great and the pricing can't be beat. I highly recommend them.
Mike Pate
United States
Primarily I was looking for quality meds, FDA approved, and at a price that was reasonable since BC/BS decided that my need for medication was not worth their inclusion of what I needed in my drug plan. The meds from Offshore Cheap Meds cost me $430.00 for a NINETY day supply. Buying this medication without the help of my health insurance here in the USA costs $1325.00 per MONTH, same pills.
I have been a customer since 2017. I have always been satisfied with this pharmacy. The personnel are knowledgable and helpful. I completely recommend OFFSHORE!

Patient, pleasant and helpful staff. OCM will help you through the original order and help you with expired prescriptions with your doctor's office. Delivery comes to your mailbox, which makes it easier to get your medications.
James Legault

I can't afford to pay the prices the US is charging me for my lifesaving medicine. Even my insurance (Express Scripts) won't help to reduce the price. OCM is a godsend! Their price is saves me over 80% of what Express Scripts and all other US pharmacies charge. I will continue to order from them and highly recommend this company!
Joe Osborne

Like many of us I was concerned about ordering online from a pharmacy that I had no prior knowledge of their history. I did provide the prescription as requested. I ordered the expensive meds at a very reduced price compared to the prices from Publix and Walmart. The Meds were delivered timely and obviously produced by the same pharmaceutical company. I was very happy with my experience with this company.
Sandy Marrs
United States
This is the 2nd time I have ordered meds and am very pleased. The website is easy to order on, the company emails you when they get the order, when they get the prescription, when they are working to fill the order and finally when it ships with a tracking number. That's a least 3 emails with good information for the customer. The shipping time has been much less than the website states ( to Texas) which is Great. Thank you for saving me alot of money and I will continue to order my inhalor every 3 months
