My 5mg Generic Finasteride Pills Are the Exact Same Size as My Propecia Pills
I bought generic 5mg finasteride at costco to save money, but now I’m really confused. The 5mg pills, blue color, are the EXACT same size as my 1mg propecia that I have left over. I even took both of them out, put them next to each other, and compared them.
How will cutting the 5mg finasteride into 4-5 pieces give you 1mg finasteride for hair loss like the original 1mg propecia? The pill is way smaller when you cut it into 4 pieces. So how is the 5mg finasteride, which is the same size as the 1mg propecia, have different potencies? I’m worried that cutting the 5mg generic finasteride like I was told will not really give me the 1mg. Please help. Thank you.
You should speak with the pharmacy. Maybe they got the pills mixed up? I haven’t seen every generic pill out there, but I wouldn’t expect the 5mg to appear exactly the same as the name brand Propecia.
Some pharmacies give very small fin pills. The best ones I found where they round blue ones in walgreens. The pills aren’t big either but the easiest to cut. Don’t worry as long as you cut it into 4 pieces it will work. Been doing it for 3 years.
