Hey,

So I started using Fincar (generic Proscar) and I have two quick questions.

I cut the pill into quarters and take one quarter everyday. However, sometimes I feel as though I am not cutting the pill into perfect quarters.

Does it affect the results if I am not taking exactly 1 mg everyday? For instance one day I may be getting .6 mg and another day 1.3 mg. Will this hurt me?

And also, should I be taking it everyday?

It is not critical to take exactly 1 mg of finasteride a day; most posters here split a tablet into 4 pieces and take 1 piece a day; actually most people average about 1.25 mg a day by splitting a 5 mg tablet into 4 pieces; do not worry about splitting them perfectly--your body can not tell the differance; just average 1 mg a day and that is fine; actually studies show that less than 1mg/day is almost as effective, so if you take ".6" for example one day, it is not going to hamper your results.
