Senior Member mmhce Posted February 18, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2010 how do i split proscar 5mg into 1/4 i have no pill cutter 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...

Senior Member youngsuccess Posted February 18, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2010 MrCool20, Here's a brief video demonstration on splitting the pills with a knife: Originally posted by mrcool20:also 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. How are you obtaining Proscar? Is a doctor prescribing it for you? ------- All opinions are my own and my advice should not constitute as medical advice.

Senior Member mmhce Posted February 18, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2010 i heard those who start sooner get better results is this true Short answer, yes. i was wondering that will it make my front hair strong 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. take care...

Senior Member mmhce Posted February 18, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2010 i was wondering to save time should i split all the proscar or just the peace i need 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...

Senior Member azn_guy Posted February 19, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2010 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 HT with Dr. Cooley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
