Best US Price for Propecia

[olgeezer]

I've been using Propecia for several years now with a doctor's prescription and I've always purchased from US-based pharmacies (not comfortable purchasing from places that sell pharmaceuticals without a prescription).

For several years, I'd sourced from drugstore.com which offered a 90-day supply for $184.99. Having compared prices from several local pharmacies (I'm in California so Walgreens, CVS, Rite-Aid, etc.), I'd found that theirs was the best deal around. Unfortunately, drugstore.com has since transferred their pharmaceutical services to Walgreens, and now the price for a 90-day supply is $275!

Does anyone have any leads on where to buy Propecia (not Proscar--I'm not comfortable splitting spills either) in the US with a prescription for a better price than this?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I don't know if you'd be willing to do this or not, but me and a ton of other people on this forum use inhousepharmacy.biz they sell a generic version of propecia called Finpecia which is made by Cipla, a gigantic pharmaceutical company like Merk. It costs me $20 for a month supply. A 90 day supply is something like $50. I have never had a problem ordering from inhousepharmacy and i've never heard anyone on this forum have a problem with them. Everytime I've ordered I've gotten my order within 5 days and its always been exactly what I wanted...and yes...the finasteride is legit (I had the ball ache, watery semen, and erection problems the first month to prove it). Cipla is a gigantic and well known pharmaceutical company. Theres no reason to be paying ridiculous prices just because Merk says so.

Fincar is your friend :whistle:

Wow 275 for 90 days? That is crazy there are actually people out there buying that stuff for that price? 3 dollars per pill is like a scam.

Get your doctor to write a script for Proscar. It's generic 5mg finasteride, and you can cut it into quarters and take 1.25mg a day. It also costs you about $9 for a month's supply!

He said he doesnt want to split pills. I really think he should just go with finpecia from inhouse or 4rx. People get all paranoid about online pharmacies but..theres really nothing to worry about if you find a reputable one

Thanks for the info on Finpecia, Chris. $50 for a 90-day supply sounds mighty tempting. However, after reading up on Finpecia in the forums, I noticed that there seem to be as many questions about its effectiveness as there are success stories. As for me, I'd rather stick with something I know works, even if I have to pay a premium for it.

In case anyone else is interested, Wal-Mart charges $206 for a 90-day supply of brand name Propecia 1mg. This is almost $100 more than what drugstore.com used to charge, but it's the best deal I could find.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Update: Best US Price for Merck Propecia

I'm making my annual trip back to the States next week and want to stock up on brand name Merck Propecia 1mg, so I made a few calls and was shocked to see how much prices have skyrocketed. Here's what I found:

Rite-Aid: $321/90ct
Walgreens: $309/90ct
Walmart: $269/90ct

I can't believe the best price in the US is $3 per pill! Does anyone know of any place that offers a better price?

Incidentally, I was just in Singapore last week and full price for 90 pills was $245. Returning pharmacy customers get an additional 10% off which puts us at about $220. The reason I try to buy in the US is that I used to have a walk-in doctor there who was willing to prescribe for me a year-long supply. Looks like maybe I need to get a Singaporean Doctor.

Check out Costco. Generic 1 mg is 15 bucks for 30 pills now and you don't need a membership for their pharmacy
