Propecia AlternativePosted by doctorhasson on December 18th, 2009

Do you find Proscar 5mg tablets cut into quarters to be as effective as Propecia? The cost savings are fairly substantial—T.C.

Yes, T.C. Proscar is as effective in our experience and yes there is a cost savings. In Canada, the cost is roughly $70 (CAD)/30 tabs which lasts 4 months when a 1/4 per day is taken. Do not construe this statement as medical advice. Always consult your doctor for advice regarding any prescription medication.
