    You can cut proscar into 5ths and it still works exactly the same as 1mg propecia.

    I cut mine into quarters and take 1.25 but people do tend to vary their doses.

    It is better for your wallet to purchase finasteride in the form of brand proscar or generic finasteride.

      could you show me pictures of the original products of brand proscar or generic finasteride.

                    But Look at this website Ive found on another thread. 1mg propecia isnt the same as 1mg proscar according to this website! What do you think?!

                        I need to get proscar.

                        How do I go about doing this?? I'm not comfortable ordering it online (unless there's some really reliable site that I'm unaware of). Will my doctor just prescribe it for me when I explain the issue? Anyone buy a pill cutter??

                        I simply can't afford Propecia much longer.

                          So I called my doctor's office and explained my situation about wanting Proscar and my intentions of cutting it up into 4ths to save money.

                          The doctor said he didn't feel comfortable prescribing me to it because I'm too young (29) to be taking 5mg a day.

                          I called back to explain that I wasn't going to take 5mg a day, I was going to cut 1 up into 4 pills. He still didn't feel comfortable doing this.

                          So now I'm in a real tough spot - Propecia has really helped me grow back some hair and prevent further loss. And I have no side effects. But I can't afford it - it costs almost $90 a month. Absolutely ridiculous.

                          Is there a safe online site that sells Proscar?? I'm running out of options.

                            Simply go to another doctor.
