Propecia...doctor visits?

[Yjb1973]

I was just curious if anyone else is required to visit their doctor or get authorization every six months when taking Propecia?

im sure not everyone is, but it seems like a responsible standard. it's definitely a good idea to get your blood checked every few months while on finasteride to monitor T, DHT, estrogen, etc levels.

Thanks for the note. Although, they're not taking any bood...Just giving me a stardard checkup, asking a few questions (then writing me another prescription) and then charging me for a Dr's visit...

Does your's (or someone you might know) require their Dr's authorization or a new prescription every six months?

Same with me... Im in Australia, so to get Proscar i needed a prescription in the first place... now for me, i just ring up the Doctor and he writes out a new one for like $5 and im off...

Ditto here. I spent less than 5 mins on my 1st visit to the Derm, can't imagine wasting another 5 mins of my time on a rubber stamp office visit.
