you must be meaning propecia. go for proscar and get a pill cutter instead. that way you get to pay rm180 for 4 months supply of finasteride.

u need prescription legally speaking. but no, just go to any pharmacy and ask for it. say your doctor prescribed it. it's same as propecia, only 5 times as much finasteride and it's not easy to cut it into 5, that's why u cut it into quarters.

ask ur doc, he knows it. if he said something about proscar being meant for prostate cancer and shouldn't be used the same way as propecia, get a new doctor.

better yet, do some research online.
