The 5mg Finasteride In Bangladesh is Too Small to Be Cut

Dr. i wanted your suggestion about taking finasteride 5mg. i wanted your advice for not having finasteride 1 mg in our country bangladesh. the available finasteride is 5mg named “Prosfin”. you have researched the producing company name is “BEXIMCO”. you have found that they are producing finasteride 1mg named “Recur”. but 1thing u don’t know that “Beximco” has recently stopped production of recur. the Prosfin can’t be cut into 4 pieces, and at present i am taking Prosfin (Finasteride 5mg), 1 tablet/3 days. Now the concern is that taking finasteride 5mg 1/3days,can it cause any potential affect if i want to take a child, or want to have sexual intercourse while she is pregnant? can it affect the child? all things i am talking about taking finasteride 5 mg 1 table/3 days. i would not ask you these things if i could get finasteride 1 mg, or could break the 5 mg tablet. your blog is very informative.

This is an interesting problem. I’ve written to the drug company to find out more about their 1mg finasteride possibly being discontinued. For now, I suppose you might consider grinding the pill into a powder and taking 1/5th of that per day, assuming that the pill is the 5mg finasteride tablet. Make sure you keep it dry or it will pick up moisture.

Remember, the pill is not meant to be cut and the drug companies have designed it that way — so it’s not going to be an easy task.
