Regular Member slowlythinning Posted March 25, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted March 25, 2006 I am only 19 and thinning...After going through this forum I have realized that the earlier you start the better...I would like to start taking propecia but cannot afford it...My question is that is Proscar the same thing as propecia just in a higher mg dose. Can I buy proscar and just divide the 5mg in quarters and get the same effect? Anyone tried this yet. I can get a full years supply of proscar for only $85.

Regular Member Martin Posted March 26, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted March 26, 2006 Exactly the same drug, Finesteride. Proscar is 5mg Propecia 1mg Cut the Proscar into quarters or if you can fifths 1/4 - 1.25mg 1/5 - 1mg Many guys do it, including me! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member DrewFL Posted June 6, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted June 6, 2006 I switched to Proscar and cut the tabs into 4 pieces/doses with a pill spliter i bought at CVS and it works great. Here is the BEST part.....my health insurace covers Proscar and it costs me $15(co-pay) for 30 pills...and split into 4 pieces/doses...that is 120 doses for $15....$45 a year!
