Propecia Prescription Questions

I want to start taking propecia. I just need to know how to get it. Do I make a appointment with a regular doctor and he’ll give me a prescription or do I need to see a dermatologist? and how long can the prescriptions be? finally about how much does a 30 day prescription cost? Thank you

Propecia is a prescription item and requires a doctor to write it in the United States and Canada. Any doctor can write it. I always tell a patient that wants to take it to get his hair mapped out for miniaturization in order to be sure that (1) he is really balding and (2) what is his baseline miniaturization from which we can measure improvement or worsening of his situation and (3) what pattern of hair loss can he expect in the future. Measurements are at the foundation of clinical science and you need to know what you are treating and where you are going. A prescription written by a doctor should be good for a year or so, depending upon laws that can vary from state to state. Propecia costs range from $60/month to as high as $120/month in some pharmacies, so shop carefully.
