Senior Member Robert_ Posted January 9, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted January 9, 2006 Propecia and Proscar are the same drug, only different doseages. Whereas you take a 1 mg pill of Propecia daily, you split a Proscar pill into 1/4ths for a 1.25 mg/day dose. The .25 mg extra is negligible and should not cause much, if any, difference. If you are experiencing side effects from Propecia, there should be no change from switching to Proscar. It is the same medication. Now, many users experiences mild side effects for a short time after first starting Propecia or Proscar and the effects diminish after a while. This is fairly common and may be what you are experiencing. If you are truly concerned, however, dont hesitate to see a doctor. -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, provided you take the REAL stuff and not some cheap equivalent.
