PROSCAR

The retail Rx price for Propecia is approximately equal to the retail Rx price for Proscar. Both tablets are made by Merck and contain only Finasteride: a Proscar tablet has 5mg, a Propecia tablet has 1mg. Cost-conscious consumers therefore purchase Proscar and divide the 5mg tablet, thereby enjoying the benefits of Propecia for about 1/4 the price of Propecia.
