Regular Member Follicle Challenge Posted January 28, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm currently 27 y.o.a and started experiencing premature baldness at the age of 21 years. Note I have tried various means and claimed mirracle cures, most of which have not worked. I have found Finasteride to be the most effective in halting/delaying the balding process. Due to the high cost of Propecia, I am not consistantly taking it. With study fees and general high cost of living, I can't afford to be on it on a regular/consistant basis, hence I'm seeing a very limited and varied success. There has to be a cheaper option, so I can remain on it on a regular basis. Any ideas????????????? I'm desperate :-x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MrJobi Posted January 28, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hi FC Unfortunately There are only 2 options..Propecia and Minoxidil.. One might add Nizoral but that won't make a BIG different.. anything else and you are wasting money on crap.. Maybe look oline and buy the Finasteride and cut it into fourths?? The other vets on here will chime in and give you the same advice Sorry JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations.

Senior Member HK500 Posted January 28, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted January 28, 2007 The cheapest option for Finasteride is 1/4 Proscar daily, you can also get the cheaper generic version.

Senior Member NervousNelly Posted January 28, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted January 28, 2007 The above advise is your only solution but it can drastically lower the price. Some insurance plans will cover Proscar but at your age it might be hard to justify and ins. company will probably figure it out that it is being used for cosmetic purposes instead of its primary use of limiting hypertrophy of prostate.
