I Cut My Proscar Into 10 Pieces
Hi,
Like a lot of other people taking finasteride, I have opted to cut Proscar into my daily amounts to save money. I began by taking 1/4 of a 5mg Proscar pill per day and then moved onto 1/5 per day – Both of which left me with some side effects.
Recently I have attempted to take 0.5mg per day, by way of cutting 5mg into 10 pieces. The pieces I am left with are all reasonably similar in size (for the exception of perhaps one piece, which may end up slightly lesser than the others).
My question is, should there be any problem with going about 0.5mg per day in this fashion? It’s likely of course that some days I may be getting slightly more or slightly less than 0.5mg, but should that slight possible variation effect my attempts at reducing DHT within my body?
Thanks.
Wow, you’re the first person I’m aware of that can cut a Proscar pill into 10 pieces. Not that there is some sort of competition for these things, but the pill just seems too misshapen to be cut into 10 equal parts. I’d think a pill cutter might be too difficult to use for that, so perhaps you’re using a knife.
In any case, to answer your question… there is nothing wrong with what you are doing. If you are doing it to minimize the side effect risks, 0.5mg finasteride should still have some impact on DHT. If you’re doing it just to save costs, you should consider getting the generic 5mg finasteride since it’ll be cheaper than the name brand Proscar.
how do you cut that pill that small!????? I really need to know
To do so I cut the proscar into 5 pieces, which you can find an image for on google. Following that I simply cut all those pieces in half.
Try to find the flattest side of the 5th you want to cut, and cut down the centre.
P.s Thanks for posting my question!
Oh, and yes, I am using a knife!
Xenyx, with the skills to be able to cut that pill 10 ways, perhaps YOU should performing hair transplant surgeries…
Maybe Dr. Rassman is recruiting…?
