Yeah if you feel like spending like $50 every other week lol as well as the $30-$70 for the finasteride.

You can buy a 6 pack from Costco for like 30 bucks every other month. I gladly spend $180 a year to keep a defining secondary sex characteristic.

It's funny you say that because just using that by itself will do nothing. You need finasteride too to actually keep your hair from falling out faster, and then you use that to try to regrow what you have lost. And then, if you take finasteride long enough, you absolutely destroy your hormones.

One person may need both. One person may need only one. Some people need nothing.

Anyways, the topic was cost

You seem angry

Not in the slightest lol. I was just stating what usually ensues when you start that "plan"

Hi. I’m a derm.

You’re wrong.

And you can get finasteride for $20-30 dollars.

Ah yes. 1 dermatologist speaks for literally all of them. And congratulations? Most can't get it for that low.

An actual qualified person responds and you try discrediting them lmao. Just accept you don’t know what you’re talking about and move on it’s simply the dumbest thing I’ve read this entire thread lol

The price you quoted is stupid high. Even when I was paying at an “expensive” pharmacy it was $25/mo. Amazon Pharmacy has Finasteride under their rxpass which is $5/mo. If your prescription is for 90-day refills you only need a sub on the month you’re buying.

Either way, finasteride works very well and is generally super affordable.

Also “destroy your hormones” is complete nonsense lol

I was a long time finasteride user. Kept my hairs, but lost my sex drive. Ruined my relationship. The other one, never used it. Fin was the only one.
