Why is Propecia costing more?

[feinburgrl]

I'm confuse why Propecia is getting more expensive. When I started to use Propecia in 2003 it cost around 50 to 55 for a 30 days. Its now, 65 to 70 for 30 days. Is there any reason why it went up?

It’s just pure economics. You began treatment 5 years ago. Factor in inflation, rising costs of production etc. and this equals price increases for everything, not just pharmaceuticals.

Merck and Co. is now offering programs that might save you some cash. It’s worth as shot to learn more about them.

i pay about 80 dollars for propecia now. when i started in 2001 i think it was about 50 dollars here in central ny. i know that's a bit of in increase; it kind of sucks. but even if i went up to 200 a bottle id still pay it... gotta have my hair baby

You could always look into using Proscar which is great value and works the same.
Just have to cut the pill into fifths.

Cutting Proscar up into 5th's can be tricky when you first attempt - Many get frustrated - been there!


Note - 5mg Proscar is A MUCH CHEAPER version of the drug Finesteride. Propecia is 1mg Finesteride and can be pricey. Proscar is 5mg of finesteride and much cheaper -you break it into 5ths and you have the equivalent of "Propecia". 1MG FINESTERIDE

See a quick video i made for cutting "Proscar"(5mg) into "Propecia" (1mg)

Youtube video - "Cutting Proscar into Propecia"

its shockingly expensive in the UK

its just more exploitation of the people. i bet it costs pennies to make as well.

all this for a drug that MAY work. if it was 100% that it stopped hair loss i wouldnt mind so much.
