Can I Cut Proscar Tablets?
Some healthcare providers may suggest cutting Proscar 5 mg tablets into fourths to use instead of Propecia to save money. This can be difficult, however, since Proscar tablets are not round but are apple-shaped. Even if you could accurately cut the tablets, this would not give you the correct dose (1.25 mg, instead of 1 mg), although doing so might save you a significant amount of money. The decision of whether to cut the medication into quarters instead of using Propecia is best made by you and your healthcare provider together.
