I've been taking Propecia for about 2 years. This stuff is getting really expensive- $75 a month. Last time I checked there wasn't a generic available. Is this still correct?
(Not 100% sure it is helping but I'm afraid to stop taking it and find out that my hair loss accelerates further.) |

joey,
In my opinon, you may want to consider asking your physicians for a prescription for Proscar. It's a 5mg pill of finasteride (as opposed to 1mg like Propecia) but can be split into quarters with a pill splitter and 1/4 pill can be taken daily. That way you pay on the average of $20 / months rather than $75. Best wishes, Falc To learn about how I restored my hair, read my hair restoration story with pictures. See also my hair loss weblog.

I ordered Finpecia online through a canadian drugstore. I got 400 pills for $200 and all I needed was my doctors name and phone number.
The suspicion with this drug unfortunately is if its a legitimate drug. Since its made in India. I am having a lab test it to see if it contains the proper amount of dosage. Once I receive this info I can repost to let you know. |

Ditto Falc's post - I'd go with quartered Proscar. I buy 30 tablets for $67 at Walmart pharmacy. If you take it daily that's $16.75 per month, or, if you're like me and take it every other day, it's just over $8 per month - not too shabby!
