Finasteride troubles

ok, so I heard the new generic brand of propecia is on the market. I remember reading a ealier post of how someone got it for around $20. I just renewed my prescription and went to CVS Pharmacy and they gave me Dr. Reddys Finasteride 1mg and it cost me $72! They said my insurance didn't cover it but wouldn't it still be cheaper anyways?

 

I have Aetna as my health insurance provider and i'm looking for a cheaper way to get finasteride, should I go to a different Pharmacy? Can anyone recommend anything?

I must be the luckiest finasteride user in the world.

 

I get prostacom. 10 pills at 5mg each pill. That's 40 days supply. $17.

 

:-)

Regimen:

 

Finasteride (1.25mg): Daily.

Minoxidil (5%): Twice Daily.

Super Biotin (5000mcg) Vitamin Supplement; Daily

Silica Complex; Daily

Wow $20 ?! Can you ask where they got it from?

 

I got mine at Walmart generic 30 day supply 1 mg for ~$40... Propecia 1mg at my local Walmart is $75 for 30 days

 

Do they take express scripts??? I can do $40 but $75 is too steep

How that working for you? Is it as potent as propecia?

 

Having never used propecia, I have no point of reference for comparing the potency. I have my missus examine my hair frequently. After just 2 months, she tells me I have peach fuzz all over the crown/vertex region ....and even have some new thicker, darker hairs appearing in areas that were previously bald.

 

I also use minoxidil and nizoral. So, I cant exactly attribute the current success to finasteride alone.

Regimen:

 

Finasteride (1.25mg): Daily.

Minoxidil (5%): Twice Daily.
