Dear doctor,
I have few questions about Proscar.
- Do you think it is safe to cut proscar to 4-5 pieces?
- Do you think that it is safer than buying generic finasteride?
- Do you think that small differences in cutted pieces could have some negative effect?
thanks
And here’s a few answers to your questions about Proscar:
- Yes, it is safe to cut Proscar into 4-5 pieces. Just cut one pill at a time.
- I don’t think it is safer or less safe. The generic should be the same, just cheaper.
- I don’t think the effect would be much, if any. This is why if you’re going to cut a 5mg pill, you should try to cut it into 4 equal pieces — much easier than cutting it into 5.

Hi everyone, I’m looking to find out a bit more about proscar, I am suffering hair loss (in my early 30s) and have been considering propecia, but a few people have been saying to me to use proscar and cut the tablets up, and others have said the side effects are too severe…
I’ve been reading up at sites like:
http://www.drugs.com/proscar.html
http://www.proscar-info.com
http://www.rxlist.com/proscar-drug.htm
http://prostate.emedtv.com/prostate/proscar-information.html
and all thought they all have loads of info, it’s all very factual, there’s not really much to help me decide if its worth it or not…anyone with some first hand experience care to chip in?
thanks
Ben
