I have a question about the coating on proscar tablets.

If I were to quarter a proscar tablet would it affect the pills absorbtion into my system in a negative way, additionally, would the ingredients be a stomach irritant without the coating? I had wondered if it might be better to crush a proscar tablet into powder and then weigh the powder to one millagram and place it inside a gell capsule.Thank you for your time and consideration

You sound creative and I guess you can try your crushed method. The best way, of course, is the drug Propecia which is pre-measured into 1mg finasteride that you should take daily to treat hair loss. Everything else is a substitute for the best way to take the drug.

I’ve really got no idea about stomach irritation without the coating. If I had to guess, I’d say the coating is there to make the pill easier to handle. If women touch a broken finasteride tablet (particularly without the coating), it could lead to problems with pregnancy and such. Just one of the reasons finasteride is not indicated for women.
