Hi There
Please can you find the cheapest site selling Proscar 5mg tablets (
Finesteride is the Generic  name for this drug )


Yours PD

Hi Paul,

While a Researcher is answering this for you, just thought I'd mention
what I am sure you already know:  5 mg Proscar (finasteride) is
usually prescribed for benign prostate enlargement; Propecia, the
trade name of the same drug (finasteride) prescribed for hair loss,
usually comes in 1 mg tablets.  Thus, if your doctor prescribes
Proscar 5 mg for hair loss, it is likely you will also be told to buy
a pill cutter and cut the 5 mg tablets into four pieces, thus
approximating more closely the approporiate dosage of finasteride
prescribed for hair loss.  More finasteride is not necessarily better
for hair loss--recent studies show that men taking finasteride who
also developed prostate cancer usually developed a more serious and
hard-to-treat variant of the disease.  See the second paragraph under
the heading, "Headline results of the study" at
http://www.ishrs.org/articles/finasteride-prostate-cancer.htm.   So if
indeed you are using Proscar for hair loss, please make sure you ask
your doctor about proper dosing.   See also

Hi There 
Yes, I understand the difference between Proscar and Propecia. It's
just cheaper to buy the 5 mg Tabs and split them. I take them 3 times
a week, so I'm getting a 7.5 mg dosage per week, so 0.5 more than the
recommeded 1 mg a day. I havn't read the report yet , but do you think
that extra dose makes much difference?

Yours
