Weres best to get generic finasteride. From in the UK. I originally started propecia with a doctors prescription. But the cost got too much so I stopped. A year or so later my hair loss got worse so I started on fincar from in-house pharmacy. Though I stopped 6months ago due to sides face bloating and general dryness with I believe now maybe down to the minoxidil I was using. So I now want to start finasteride again and have seen you can now get generic propecia in the UK. Is it best to go to your GP for this or online? I for seen it online from a UK pharmacy for £45 for 3 months. Can GPS now prescripe generic propecia?

If you want ideal savings, ask your doctor to prescribe Generic Proscar - @ 1/4 (1.25mg) tablet daily.

I was really surprised how understanding my doctor was when I brought this up and explained how the same drug was much cheaper when bought in a larger pill, but split at home.
I have ordered from many pharmacies, as well, and they all understand the cut tablet into 1/4's part instructions, which they print directly on my pill bottle.. and factor that into the amount of pills they give me to last 3 months. -23 pills is the amount I get.

It ends up costing me around $7-8 Canadian Dollars per month for generic Proscar.
~$24 dollars every 3 months compared to ~$180 [IIRC] for 3 months generic Propecia.

Thanks so is there no real need to see your personal gp as you can get a prescription online?

Thanks I am going to discuss options with my GP. May go for the 1mg tabs to start with. Even though cutting works out a lot cheaper.
