Ashley Ried Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm currently on Propecia 1mg and finally noticing benefits, although the pricey monthly cost does not allow me to be on it on a regular/consistent basis. Does anyone please know of a cheaper quality alternative? Is generic product's a option? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hairbank Posted January 30, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2007 Ashley, In case you didn't get the reply on the other thread..............I purchase and take generic Proscar purchased from Walmart's pharmacy, 30 pills for $78. Since you can quarter proscar, if you take it daily that will last you 4 months for a cost of $19.50 per day which isn't too bad. I take it every other day so my supply lasts me 8 months. Hope this helps.

Senior Member YoungGuy Posted January 30, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2007 Wow, 20 bucks a month? I picked up 30 pills for $10, which comes out to... $2.50 a month. Which isn't that terrible on my finances. Doesn't your health insurance cover it like mine does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Funny...I am having dejavu...I just posted a response to the same discussion on a different part of the forum . I am also paying $10 for 30 pills...because my health insurance covers it. Check it out...your medical might cover it...save even more money.

To my knowledge, Proscar is only covered by health insurance if you have BPH (enlarged prostate). When I first got the script and phoned it in, the insurance company wanted the Doc's verification of it's use before they would cover it. Since I use it for hair loss I guess I was out of luck .

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 hairbank, Interesting. I wasn't asked any of that when I got my prescriptions. I guess some places check and some don't. Strange. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member YoungGuy Posted February 1, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2007 I wasn't asked either. If the pharmacy gives you a hard time, try going to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
