Where to buy? How much is too much to pay? 1 mg tablets? Is a cheaper, generic version an alternative or is it bunk?

 

Thanks

As long as the moon shall rise

As long as the rivers flow

As long as the sun shall shine

And the grass will grow

Let me listen, I will learn to speak

The old language

Yes, I yearn to bathe in blue skies

And fall apart from the world of machines

Regain my feet and my pounding heart

Chris,

 

I don't use it now but have been recently looking into it so I have a little info for you.

 

First, instead of Propecia, many order Proscar (because it's cheaper), which is the EXACT SAME THING as Propecia but is in 5 mg tablets instead of 1 mg so you have to cut them with a pill cutter. I think several individuals cut them in 4ths so the dosage would be 1.25 mg, to be exact.

 

If you order proscar, you should be able buy it for around $60 for 28-30 tablets. Now, since your cutting them into 4ths, that supply will last you around 4 months.

 

Where to buy...........you can most likely get a prescription from a local Doctor, or, you can order online. I've not purchased any either way for a long time so maybe someone else from the site can refer you?

 

From my search, the generic version didn't seem that much cheaper and I've not heard anything about it.
