Yeah Its kind of crazy IMO how old propecia is and how much it still costs. Even the generic propecia some 30 years after it came out still costs like 60 a month I mean that is barely any less then when propecia came out. Price gouge much? That is one negative to signing your hair on the dotted line with big pharma. 20 years from now you will still need propecia to maintain that hair. The cost could spike up or down and whatever it is you have to pay it.
A little off topic, but what happens in 10 years when some other amazing new male pattern baldness treatment comes out, and most men flock to that. What if you want to keep on propecia will they keep making it forever? If they stopped the price would sky rocket and you would lose all your hair you kept all those years. Something to think about

I pay 70$ a month for name brand propecia, as much as I wanna cut costs by going the 5mg route I always feel more comfortable with brand names.

Also, even f they stop making propecia finasteride will always be in the market for prostatic issues... I was reading a study the other day that said basically any intermittent use of finasteride is actually a protective measure in protecting your prostate, so that's cool I guess lol
