Proscar Price, Safety
And Guarantees

Proscar contains the prescription drug finasteride and is used for both male pattern baldness and Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is an enlargement of the prostate gland in men.

Finasteride will block 5-alpha reductase – this is an enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

DHT is involved in both androgenetic alopecia and BPH. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride can help slow or stop hair loss, and shrink the prostate gland.

The amount of finasteride contained in each Proscar tablet is 5mg (the dose used for treating BPH). But, in trials, the lowest dose of finasteride that’s effective for hair loss was found to be just 1mg. because of this, Proscar has been FDA approved for BPH but not as a hair loss pill.

Note – Propecia is another finasteride product by Merck. It contains 1mg of finasteride and has been FDA approved for treating androgenetic alopecia.

The only difference between Propecia and Proscar is in the dose of finasteride they deliver. So, by using a pill splitter, you can save money by cutting Proscar tablets into four or even five pieces.

Does it really work?

Yes - It has been clinically proven as effective treatment for men with androgenetic hair loss.

However, you have to keep taking this drug every day to maintain any benefit you get and, if you stop taking it, you’ll most probably lose the hair you gained within 12 months of stopping. Results will vary from person to person, but generally you won’t be able to grow back all the hair you’ve lost.

Ingredients - what’s in it?

Each pill contains 5mg of the active ingredient finasteride.

How much do you use?

Since the lowest effective dose of finasteride is 1mg, you need to cut each tablet into quarters (to obtain 1.25mg) or even fifths (giving you 1mg of finasteride). You can buy a pill splitter from any pharmacy to do this.

Note – it doesn’t matter if you don’t split proscar pills perfectly because, over 4 (or 5) days, you’ll still get the same dose you’d get even if you could divide them exactly. Subtle daily variations will make no difference.

Finasteride absorption is best when taken on an empty stomach and with a glass of grapefruit juice (this helps your bloodsteam take up the drug).

For men and women?

No, it's for men only.

Any side effects?

Proscar side effects are caused in about 2% of men. These are sexual side effects and include - a decrease in volume of ejaculation, breast tenderness/enlargement, etc.

Women who are, or may become, pregnant must not handle these hair loss pills.

A Top Hair Loss Remedy?

I didn’t like the idea of a synthetic drug to deal with the male pattern baldness I suffered. Instead, I managed to restore strong healthy scalp hair growth after seven years of hair loss using completely natural self-help techniques!
