The "Art" of Cutting Proscar

[blakes30]

For those highly skilled out there who can actually consistently cut a proscar into 1/5ths, or even accurately into 1/4ths every time, how do you do it?

Is it best to cut quickly? ie---to press down firmly and quickly, or to gently cut?

or.........do you "saw" through it so to speak?

Every time i have tried so far, it splinters and crumbles every where, but on the website listed below, this guy did it perfectly........

i use a pill cutter.. it is razor sharp and works greate for cutting exact 1/4 .
Bought it at a pharmacy for about $2

Everyone who has cut more than 3 or 4. It takes minor practice to become a proscar cutting ninja.

Line up the blade straight down, right where it needs to be. Be exact.

Firm push. No sawing.

So yeah I suppose quickly is one way to put it.

can you cut into five pieces without splintering and crumbling?

if so, how do you do it consistently?

(i want to be a proscar-cutting ninja) :evil:

Absolutely.

well, i am actually using a generic finasteride (made by teva)
it is rectangular and every time i try to cut it (similar to what you show on that diagram) i get a bunch of crumbles and splinters

i guess it just takes practice to get a clean cut on each piece without crumbling and splintering

thanks for the diagram and the advice

I use Teva generic as well, I cut it into 1/4 and just take 1.25 a day.

Does anyone think that having your finasteride exposed to air for a few days will reduce its effectiveness?

Good question. I would like to know as well.

yes some people think so. so you should only have one pill cut up at a time.[

Thanks, I thought it might. I do only cut one pill at a time, but I still worry that the four days between cutting and using the last part is too long. I'm going to have to get an air-tight pill box or something to put them in.

yes, you are.

actually---i think a regular prescription bottle (probably the one your proscar came in) is just fine
i took the dessicant packet (the little clear plastic cylindrical thing) from my propecia pack and stuck it in a bottle with the split proscar pills
