The short answer is that a 30-day supply of oral finasteride usually costs between $20 and $60. But the cost ultimately depends on many factors, from where you buy it to the cost of a consultation for this prescription medicine.
Luckily, there are some ways to save cash on finasteride.
In this article, we’ll cover the cheapest way to get finasteride so you can save that money and put your hard-earned cash towards brunch instead. We’ll also look at the costs of some finasteride alternatives.
Finasteride: The Basics
Finasteride 101 is in session, and here’s the rundown on everything you need to know.
First, finasteride comes in oral form — that is, pills — and topical form. In addition to generic finasteride, you can find it sold under the brand names Propecia or Proscar.
Oral finasteride is a hair loss treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness or male pattern hair loss.
It’s also used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a noncancerous condition where the prostate gland becomes enlarged.
