Why do you prescribe Proscar more than Propecia?
The monthly cost for taking Propecia (1 mg Finasteride tablet per day) is approximately $60. By dividing Proscar tablets into quarters with a pill cutter and taking 1/4 of a Proscar tablet per day, your monthly cost (if you purchase your Proscar from us) is $22.50, a savings of 62%. Although it is more difficult to divide a Proscar tablet into 5 pieces (as opposed to 4), many patients choose to do so and save even more: by cutting the pill into fifths, patients save 70% over Propecia by spending only $18 a month. For those who don’t care to save 70% by dividing Proscar tablets, our physicians will gladly prescribe 3 months of Propecia if your medical history suggests you will benefit from Finasteride therapy. This is an example of what we call patient empowerment: fostering a partnership with your physician in the decision process which allows you to take an increased and active role in your own plan of care.
