My Generic Finasteride Pills are Too Small to Cut!
I just switched from Propecia to generic Proscar (cut into fourths). The pills I am cutting are extremely small, and thus difficult to cut! Always be sure consult your pharmacist about the size of generic Proscar before filling your script! Consulting your pharmacist about the size of the pill is great advice. Let the pharmacist know that you’re...

Propecia Consumer Reviews
Works fine with no sides By Richard, age 36, who has been using generic Propecia for two and a half years: So far so good. I have been on generic Propecia for two and a half years, having a decent regrowth with no side effects at all. Use just 1 mg a day or less to avoid side effects.  Read More →
Reader Warning About Switching from Propecia to Avodart
Dear Dr. Rassman, This is a story, not a question, but I thought you might want to put it on your site because you often talk about the unproven effects of Avodart and why you don’t prescribe it. I had a very bad experience with Avodart and wanted to put it out there where people would be able to read about it. I took Propecia for 3 years,... 
I Upped My Finasteride Dosage and My Hair Loss Stopped Drastically
Dear Dr. Rassman, I understand the debate regarding the appropriate dosage of finasteride to be taken seems to have no end. I am currently taking 2.5mg (half proscar since 3 years ago where Propecia stopped working as well), so far so good. I would not say propecia stopped responding, but more of my genetics are catching up. Anyway, by upping to... 
Shedding After Switching from 1mg to 1.25mg Finasteride
It seems like you have prescribed 1.25 mg of Finasteride (Proscar cut in fourths) to many people who were previously taking 1 mg Propecia. Have any of these people expressed concerns of temporary increased shedding after this switch? Do you believe that its possible that such a small increase in Finasteride could be the cause of increased shedding?...

Waiting Period If Switching from Propecia to Avodart?
After reading your blog, I understand your concerns over prescibing Avodart for hairloss. However, if someone were to make an informed decision to switch from Propecia to Avodart for hopefully better results, would you advise them to switch immediately or stop taking Propecia for a while before taking Avodart? Lastly, would the switch in medication... 
Have You Seen a Case Where Propecia Makes Hair Loss Worse?
Dear Dr – I know there’s quite a lot of anecdotal, somewhat brutal indictment of finasteride on the web, some perhaps more grounded in reality than others. And of course, part of this revolves around frontal hair loss and so-called hyperandrogenicity, blah blah. You’ve given quite a lot of first-hand, practical and scientifically-based...
