What is the going rate for 1.25mg of finasteride nowadays? I just paid $50 for a prescription of for 8 Proscar pills that comes with 6 future refills at MWC which gives me a total of 56 pills. My local WG told me that 8 tablets of proscar is $38. Total for all 56 pills would be $266. Is this too high? I was under the impression that with a prescription I wouldn't have to worry about it being fake and it would cost much less.

Why don't you use generic medication? Proscar is going to be more expensive because it's a name brand.

A pay $10 for 8 5mg finasteride tablets.

Go to Costco if there is one by you. You dont need a membership to use the pharmacy in the majority of the states they are located in.

50 pills is about $35

Also most Walmarts carry it for about the same price. Just tel them you want the generic equivalent to Proscar

Places like WG, Riteade and so on over charge for medication

Yeah I was actually looking around and found costco here has it online for less. It'll probably cost a little more in store.

I wonder of MWC would be willing to to call it into my local Costco or at least allow me to get my next 6 refills at Costco.

Thanks for replying.

The problem is with the prescription itself and not the price of the pills. MWC only writes prescriptions for 8 pills at a time for a month's supply (assuming you quarter them.) If you had gone to the doctor to get the prescription it probably would have been written to dispense 30 pills. You are going to pay the same price for the prescription whether it is 8 pills or 30 pills.

You need to get a prescription from a regular doctor and have him write it for 30 pills.
