Hi staggerlee123

It was me who adviced that 5mg finasteride tablets can be cut into six pieces and used as 0.8mgs daily .

Below have provided photographic evidence to back up my claims .

This is my kit , nothing out of the ordinary , standard pill cutter , standard daily pill box , 5mg finsateride , and cut neatly into 6 pieces , easy , without fuss and far from just dust left over .



This is a standard , bladed pill cutter which can be purchased from any high street chemist for 2.99 UK pounds .



This is a scaled close up of my 5mg finasteride tablets cut in 6 pieces , with an uncut finasteride tablet on the right of the picture .



I buy my finasteride from a very respectable online source , spex also uses the same place as do many other finasteride users , they sell propecia , proscar and finasteride , so there is a wide range of hairloss medication to chose from , and to suit all pockets .

UKfinsateride.info

I hope this healps clear up any confusion

Read this article to understand why many people keep denying the finasteride side-effects.

Sam Harris is an controversial anti-religion writer , this article you have supplied is about faith and religion , even if you're trying to simplify it and say that the point is people will only see what they want to see , this can go for anything in life , from what car to buy , to which toothpaste to use , it's all subjective and open to opinion and honesty .

Finasteride can have side effects and some people can be effected by them , just as some people feel nausea when taking paracetomol and some peoples don't , I for one am not denying this fact , however I do use finasteride with sucess and I'm not in some sort of self denial like you seem to be implying , I guess I'm lucky as the only side effect I have is watery seaman and a less hairy back , I can honestly say , hand on heart , that I can live with that .

Now that being said , maybe , just maybe it's you who are in self denial , and having taken finasteride and suffered a psychological erection failure due to your own insecurities with women , then having failed to be completely honest with yourself , you sir blamed the side effects on finasteride , maybe , just maybe this has left you bitter and unable to accept other men having success with a dht reducing tablet .

You see what I did there ? twisted it round , not dissimilar from Sam Harris's writing .

It really boils down to this , try finasteride to help with hairloss , if you are unfortinate enough to be in th 1% who suffer from side effects , then you , and you alone have to make the choice whether to manage these side efffects or to discontinue the drug .

I guess I can only speak for myself , I take finasteride , it has helped me keep and even regrow some hair , I am lucky but I can't force you to believe me when I tell you the only side effects I have had is watery seaman and the discontinued growth of hairs on my back .

You will just have to take it , or not , and find out for yourselves , or you could buy into the shameless self promoting rambling of a writer who has made alot of money from simply being controversial and sometime even insulting to people who chose to follow a faith .

Oh and right at the top of that page you so kindly linked are the words ....... Free will .

Good night
richie

Blah blah blah, more Sam Harris disgust. More denial. More irrealistic statistics about side-effects affected individuals ingesting finasteride, blah blah blah.

See djb, this is a perfect example of a man in denial. Rambling in disgust towards a very reasonable man that created the article, boasting how he is the fortunate one not suffering from serious side-effects(although any sane person would consider infertility a serious problem if predisposed for having offspring), and worst of all, misinforming just like those corrupt Merk studies on side-effects. I mean when you have BREAST CANCER as a possible side-effect in the manual for Propecia, you have to ask yourself, who in his sane mind would go through such a treatment.

And its very expensive.
I must have said this about 100 times now, but you can purchase this stuff much cheaper from alldaychemist.com
A 13 month supply of the 1mg tablets (finpecia) is ?229 from ukfinasteride.
A years supply from that online chemist is $89.75 shipped!!!!!
I am in no way associated with that site, but have used many many times, as have my friends and the service is spot on.
People are paying far far too much for these drugs.
