    Chrisis, just to make sure, have you ordered fin from this source? I'm about to order, but just a bit hesitant

    I found this website to be pretty cheap compared to UK ones (also looks legit): http://canadian-discount-meds.com/it...d=177&aid=9636

    By the way, how do you split 5mg pill? Is it easy to split or could that turn out ugly?

    Hi Powka,

    The same way you split any other dose of pill. You use a pill splitter. First you split the pill in half. Then you split the two halves in half. It's easy and doing so can save a lot of money.

    I do have a concern if you don't mind my asking. Are you planning to order from a grey market on-line supplier rather than the legitimate way by asking your doctor for a prescription? If so, may I ask why?

    Take care,

    Tracy

    Powka, no I haven't ordered from there yet, but loads of people use it on this forum so I don't see a reason to question it.

    You may wish to see a doctor for a prescription as Tracy C suggests, though I don't know why spex would use it if it wasn't legit. If you don't know who spex is, then check here: spex's website

    To cut up the 5mg, as Tracy C suggests either buy a pill cutter from somewhere like Boots, or do what I do, just half and quarter them. It's not that hard. I think they actually sell 1mg finasteride from the source I linked anyway! Check it out and get back to me.

    I've found some websites that are MUCH cheaper (without prescription) than that website, and I wonder if they are legit. For example, has anyone used this one: http://realhealthcenter.com ?

    It looks good, but I'm not sure.

    There is a reason a prescription is required to get Finasteride. You need to see a doctor and talk about it with the doctor to determine if Propecia or generic Finasteride is right for you.

    To make sure the meds you are taking are the real thing, get them from your local pharmacy.

    Huh?

    Propecia is nothing but finasteride in a 1mg dose plus some other (inactive) stuff to make it into a pill form with color and stable at room temperature.

    I don't need to tell you that, so you may want to clarify what you meant.

    Some people are not aware that Propecia is Finasteride. I know it, you know it - but not everyone knows it.
