Hi Peterpeter06,

Please remember that you should be aware of all possible side effects before taking Propecia or Proscar. Both medications are made by the same company and contain finasteride as the key ingredient to block DHT. Proscar comes in 5 mg tablets and must be cut into four quarter parts or 1.25 mg units. Essentially, both medications are the same in chemical makeup. The actual differences between the two medications is that they are taken in different dosages and have different pricing.






My advice is not medical advice

I have not used proscar, I used propecia. I can tell you about Propecia. Let me brief. I'm 40 and have a hair loss problem since last 5 yrs. I tried many drugs, shampoos, gels and creams. I never used proscar. Finally I settled for Propecia Finasteride. Propecia is the best medicine for hair loss. It certainly has some side effects and these side effects disappear as our body gets used to the medication. I'm using Propecia for year and half. I too had some side effects like decreasing sexual desire in the beginning and as my body got used to it slowly, most of the side effects disappeared. As per my experience Propecia is long term medication and it should be continued at least for six months.

After year and a half, today 80% of my receding hairline disappeared with negligible side effects.
