Hi,

Thinking about taking the Cipla version of Proscar, Fincar.. it's super cheap so I might as well switch.. Propecia is so expensive and I'm not going to pay $70 / month for this stuff anymore... so I'm switching.

How easy are these Fincar to split?

Thanks,

Splitting pills is a simple matter. Go out to Walgreens, CVS, whatever, and ask for a pill cutter. Will probably cost you $5 max. It's basically a razor blade on a hinge, which cuts the pill while preventing the pieces from flinging across the room.

I put mine on the road and back the car over them, hoping for the best.


I'm kidding...I don't use Proscar.

How to split Fincar the best way? I have a standard pill cutter but I don't like it.. I'm thinking of going for a scalpel.

I'll be ordering a big lot of Fincar, and want to be as accurate as possible in my cutting ..

Please advise.

Just get a pack of straight razor blades (old fashioned type) at Home Depot or the like. They're very easy to control. Somewhere on here is a schematic of how to split the pill most readily into 5 pieces. Takes 3 cuts. Don't use a dull blade or you'll end up with powder.

The easiest way is to use a razor. Cut it in 1/4ths like a pizza then cut those in half with the split side facing up.

Hard to describe. Instead of cutting them into direct 1/8ths like a pizza pie cut, make them "thinner." like it still looks like you cut a pizza into 1/4ths but its half as thick.

That's the easiest.
