    Question about Propecia

    Can you take the medication every other day? This would be more cost efficient for me. Or does the medication become less effective?

    Do some reading. There are a bunch of threads to help.

    Anyway lots of people take it every other day.
    I split mine in half and take it instead of a whole one.

      My doc prescribes 5 mg Proscar (the medicine used to treat BPH, it's the same medicine as Propecia, just a higher dose) that I buy at my local pharmacy for $9 and I just use a pill cutter to split them into fourths; this lasts me four months. Works out to $2.25/month.

          Yes it works as good as 1 mill. Foe me anyway.
          I have had slow diffusing on top for about 10 years . I started Propecia cause I was getting a bald spot in back.

          & years later it hasn't changed very much.
          I still have a decent hairline. That too has thinned but I can live with it.
