Proscar
Would you prescribe proscar for your patients if they asked you? Im thinking about asking my dermatologist for proscar and taking the time to split pills into 5ths. It would save me so much money i just cant see why not to.
There is no scientific evidence that shows that a broken piece of proscar does the same as propecia. What if breaking the pills increased the speed of absorption and therefore it got metabolized in your body faster and didn't last as long. What will you you say to your dermatologist in 5 years?
If you are a gambler, go ahead.
If you want to take the advice of scientists, like me, then stick with the 1mg finasteride...PROPECIA.
