Well, first and foremost, why bother taking 1mg finestride Propecia? That is just plain dumb. Have your doctor write you a prescription for "Proscar" (5mg finesteride). Then get a pill cutter at a pharmacy for like and cut the pills up into quarters. You'll get four 1.25 tablets and taken once per day will be fine. My doctor told me this is perfectly ok thing to do.
Also, my health insurance pays for the Proscar prescription, so I only need to pay the co-pay, not the actual price. No plan that I am aware of covers Propecia. This is actually pretty dumb, because if I did not take the finestride, I'd be costing my HMO big bucks in anti-depressant medication.
By the way, you can get 30 Proscar tablets for about $80 at a pharmacy. This is a 4 month supply. So think about That's about 70% off the price right there. There's not reason to to take a chance with generics from India, when you can get the real thing for 67 cents a day.
See if your health insurance will pay for the Proscar and you can even get away with paying the co-pay. You need to kind of play along and pretend it's for prostate enlargement.
