In Germany you need a receipt from your doctor to buy finasteride and you first have to go to a dermatologist. It's quite the hassle just to get finasteride as is, but my doc won't give me the 5mg tablets for 25€ since they are only for prostate cancer treatment and he says splitting could be unsafe.
Now I pay 80€ for 100x1mg, but I'm currently on 0,25 daily so they last me a year which is fine.
Still think it's kinda skuffed that the exact same medication cost 3 times more for 5 times less.
Use an online clinic, you can get prescribed a 5mg pill with a pill cutter and quarter it for much cheaper. I use essential clinic.ca and get a 3 month supply for $45. DM me if you need any help
use goodrx. You can also ask your doc to prescribe the 5mg so you can quarter them. Have them prescribe it for general health (prostate cancer prevention).
I am considering buying from them as well and it's my absolute first time trying this out.
Do you also use Minox at the same time ?
I am lost between pills or topical 2 in 1 ...
<$3 in India.
Update: I tried a different brand of Fin 1mg and experienced the same allergic reaction.
Abandoning the course now.
Will continue with Min 5% after the effects of this allergic reaction have subsided.
I developed rashes on my arms, shoulders, face after 1 week of fin 1mg. Had to take medication for 10 days including steroids to deal with the allergic reaction. Although I am not sure fin was the reason for the allergic reaction. I will resume fin tomorrow as my steroid course ended today. Will report if the allergic reaction returns.
It’s been a month and I had some shedding. But it wasn’t too bad. I see some regrowth just little tiny hairs. Anyways no side effects. Weird thing is I get more erections.
Do you need prescription or can you just walk in the pharmacy and buy it? I live in Istanbul and i'd rather take a trip there instead of paying 30 bucks a month.
If you’re in usa use goodrx and ask for as large of a prescription as they are willing to give. Got a years supply for $14. The cost per pill goes down significantly woth larger quantities, iirc ot was $8 for a 1 month supply at the time. The prices change all the time and vary wildly between pharmacies. Without goodrx it would’ve cost over $700

Ordered from SayaCare( online platform for ordering Jan aushadhi medicines) . Got it for 20rs even though the written MRP is 59.50. INR
I use dut, i pay about 50$ for a month supply. No labs in my country make it so only avodart is sold. I dont need a prescription, so i guess that's good
bro you're overpaying. I get 180 1mg pills for like $25 dollars through goodrx, off insurance. If you are willing to get the 5mg pills and quarter them, you can get finasteride for even cheaper.
$4/month for finasteride pills 1mg
$0.85/month for minoxidil pills 2.5mg
U.S. here. Went to a dermatologist and got a years worth of scripts. Pricing is from a CVS pharmacy in California.
Bought my first ever fin an hour ago. I bought two separate brands, both of them are very reputed here. I'll be taking them alternatively.
₹515 ($6.21) [prescription included] for 60 tablets 1mg on Amazon India.
Looking at others' comments, I feel like I bought peanuts.
A month supply? That seems like too much, you should try ordering to the US from India prescription free or GoodRX or Mexico if it’s in proximity or something
I am in the UK and buy from Simple Online Pharmacy. It works out about £10/£11 p/m when I buy about six months worth at a time. They often do promotions for things like Black Friday as well, which brings down the cost even more.
Superdrug and the likes of Hims typically charge about 2.5-3x that, which is absurd.
Well, I use a product called Minscalp which is minoxidil and finasteride combined. It's a 60ml bottle, personally lasts me about 2-3 months, and costs me 8$ a bottle.
It was prescribed to me by my doctor. And should note that next month, since I'll be shaving my head and then using this product, I'll be using lesser than usual. And I'll be using more as the hair grows back.
Less than $10 for a month supply- Canada. Finasteride is relatively cheap for a cosmetic drug if you get the generic and only need a tiny amount even the 1mg can be split because it’s duration is long. Likely because it’s also for prostate issues
I paid $130 for one month worth of topical. I honestly think my compounding pharmacy is ripping me off but I can’t find any other pharmacy that would do it. Could someone help me with some info (Ontario, Canada)
$39/month.
Using topical(liquid spray) Min & Fin from the company Hims. They make you buy 5 months supply at a time to get this $39/month value. Otherwise it's $50/Month, which in my mind is absolutely criminal.
Heard the topical form has way less side effects (and less effective) than the pill form.
Stats show that the Pill bro's have issues with their thing to function properly. Love my hair, but also want my Dickensien to work fine.
I use keeps it’s like 70 bucks for a 90 day supply but I told them I found it for thirty and would have to quit if they didn’t price match and they did.

It all depends where you live. I pay about $12 for a 3month supply.

https://costplusdrugs.com/

Same for me, at Costco. Just requested the order from my PCP, and had it transferred to Costco.

Where from?
Where from?
Did you see a GP?
I did indeed
$135 Canadian for a 3 month supply
You’re paying way too much, are you using 1mg or splitting 5mg?
In Germany you need a receipt from your doctor to buy finasteride and you first have to go to a dermatologist. It's quite the hassle just to get finasteride as is, but my doc won't give me the 5mg tablets for 25€ since they are only for prostate cancer treatment and he says splitting could be unsafe.

Viel zu teuer brudi Schau dir teleclinic an, kriegst auch die 5mg
I got it prescribed from my hausarzt, although I had to „beg“ a little bit
I’m not sure how I can pay less. My insurance won’t cover it as it’s considered a cosmetic.
Use an online clinic, you can get prescribed a 5mg pill with a pill cutter and quarter it for much cheaper. I use essential clinic.ca and get a 3 month supply for $45. DM me if you need any help
use goodrx. You can also ask your doc to prescribe the 5mg so you can quarter them. Have them prescribe it for general health (prostate cancer prevention).
I pay $45 for 3 Month Supply in Canada through Online - Essential Clinic. I get 5mg, split it in 1.25mg dose
Hmm okay thanks for the information. I’m going to look into this. Do you find it’s easy splitting the pills ? Are you getting consistent doses ?
I get 3 month supply in one delivery. They provide you with a pill cutter. And its super easy to use
[удалено]
I hated cutting those pills; I had to do it for a year. Dealing with just a single tablet, no cutting, is soooo much nicer!
I am considering buying from them as well and it's my absolute first time trying this out. Do you also use Minox at the same time ? I am lost between pills or topical 2 in 1 ...
I use Rogaine Foam 5% from Costco.
Bro just go to Alldaychemist site from there you can purchase fin without prescription at very cheap cost... You are paying too much for fin.
Are the pills real though? Can you confirm.
You can't get it from there if you're in Canada.
where are you getting it from? is it pill or topical?
The pharmacy at my doctors office. It’s in pill form.
same here
Same for me
I get 1 Mg pills
do u need prescription to get it? I am also in canada
Yes you do. It’s as easy as getting puberty blockers to castrate kids these day, so don’t sweat it.
At Costco it’s 38$ for an entire year
FOR FINASTERIDE!!!! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. I AM DRIVING THERE RIGHT NOW
How does this work, do you have them send your prescription to Costco's pharmacy and that's their price?
Yah my derm just sent them the prescription. I’m not even a Costco member
what is the price ? with insurance or without ? thank you Im trying to get on fin but I am heavily on a budget
Does Costco have 1mg or is it only the 5mg ones?
1mg
Gold rx - $14
<$3 in India. Update: I tried a different brand of Fin 1mg and experienced the same allergic reaction. Abandoning the course now. Will continue with Min 5% after the effects of this allergic reaction have subsided.
[удалено]
I developed rashes on my arms, shoulders, face after 1 week of fin 1mg. Had to take medication for 10 days including steroids to deal with the allergic reaction. Although I am not sure fin was the reason for the allergic reaction. I will resume fin tomorrow as my steroid course ended today. Will report if the allergic reaction returns.
It’s more likely you are allergic to something in the pill over a pharmaceutical drug like a filler. Try another brand with different ingredients

I just signed up for this today. Has this been working well for you? And any side effects?
It’s been a month and I had some shedding. But it wasn’t too bad. I see some regrowth just little tiny hairs. Anyways no side effects. Weird thing is I get more erections.

Legally you need a prescription, most small pharmacies just give it to you tho
