Just use a knife. The pill does not necessarily have to cleave into exact quarters.

 

lso before i take my first dose i want to know if its better not to take propecia at all i mean would it make my hairloss worse im 19 with full hair just receading hairline thinning do you think its good idea to start useing.

 

If you are indeed suffering from MPB, you should begin minoxidil and finasteride. You may experience some initial shedding once you commence the medication, but that in no way means that your MPB is being accelerated by the use of the medication.

take care...

How are you obtaining Proscar? Is a doctor prescribing it for you?

Short answer, yes.

The medication will retard the minituarization process. If by "strong", you mean if the medication will make your hair coarser, it is possible that the medication may reverse the caliber of the hair shafts.

This is debatable. I split all my proscar within a blister strip. Thus 10 pills become 40 pills.

 

Ideally, it may be preferrable to split one pill at a time, and thus preserve the integrity of the medication, until you are ready to use it in the next 4 days.

 

wear do i keep the peaces

 

Most medication should be kept in a cool dry place, preferably in an opaque plastic/glass bottle,(screw capped with a bit of cotton under the cap) in order to reduce thermal decomposition and photo degradation.

take care...

You're splitting into quarters to take it every day, to be consistent with the 1mg/day dosage...remember.

 

did you say its ok to split all the pills and put it in a jar

 

Yeah.

take care...

haha, wow, i just saw the video, I never imagined a video would be needed to "cut" a pill, I always thought it would make common sense

 

Pill cutters are usually 2-8 bucks

 

Whoever was cutting the pill, you better have a nice sharp knife!

 

Thank goodness finasteride isn't in a liquid gel format, now that would make things a tad more difficult
