    The Proscar tablet is 5mg of Finasteride.

    Therefore if you cut it into 5ths you get 1mg Finasteride = 1mg is the recommended dose

    I know cutting those small tablets into 4 quarters is difficult and would imagine trying to cut them into fifths is nearly impossible.

    Good that propecia is now generic so no need for proscar. Has higher dosages above 1mg been proven to work better? I been using 1mg for a year so far so good. If you're curious I get it without a script here http://www.trustworthymedicine.com

    How to save $$$ with Fin? Actually, you will save more by cutting Finasteride 5mg (Proscar) into 1/4's; this averages out to 1.25 mg, which is approximately the equivalent of 1 mg of Propecia; studies have shown that taking more than 1 mg/day is no more effective than 1 mg/day; so in summary, 2.5 mg/day will not be superior; save more money by cutting the Proscar into 1/4's--taking 1/4 per day.

    Spex, do you think after 20 years on 1mg propecia that increasing dosage could be effective?
