I was wondering if splitting a pill of propecia would have the same effects as taking the whole pill once a day.

if you take half a pill of propecia (.5mg Finasteride) then it is said that it is 80% as effective as a full pill of propecia (1mg Finasteride). Half a pill of Propecia is good to take if you are having side effects from the 1mg dosage because 80% effectiveness is better than not taking it at all.

right on...That sums it up! Appreciate the help Destin:)
In theory 0.5 mg is as effective (nearly)

I've read an independent study that is grilling Merck because 1mg is not more effective than .2mg I believe this to be true.
I am personally taking .5mg and have been for 4 months with amazing results, and I do not think it would've been better if I took 1mg. But everyone is different too. BUt to answer your question the best I can: Yes.
