Proscar - Cutting advice & can I take it in halfs?

[P.D]

Hi guys

 

Been reading this forum for a few weeks, very informative so thanks to all. Had never even heard of all these drugs and treatments before finding this site.

 

I have been prescribed some proscar and it came through the post the other day and says take one fifth a day but I thought I'd up the dose to a quarter a day.

 

I tried to chop up a pill but it cut into 2 but one of the halfs had crumbled. I dont think cutting it into quarters is really much of an option if its going to be that much of a mission.

 

Can I just take a half every other day or does that lose some of the effect too much.

 

Alternatively anywhere I can buy a cutter for it online at all? I think it would be much easier to cut up if it wasnt such an odd shape as well.

Hi

 

As a long time user of Propecia, i switched to Proscar ( and cutting the pills) out of desperation as I couldnt find Propecia in Asia..

 

Well, after buying the 5mg procar pills, and using a pill cutter which you can buy at any CVS, I am one happy man ( and much wealthier)..

 

It's easy and cheaper!!!

 

Follow the instructions above

What is CVS?

 

Also can I just take half every other day?

Finasteride has basically a flat dose curve, makes very little difference how you take it. Cut it best you can.

Thanks, I think half every other day is easiest especially as its easy to cut in half but difficult to cut into quarters and means I dont need to remember to take it every day.
