UK - How to get 5mg finasteride? (or cheap 1mg?)

[arblad]

Hi,

After doing a lot of research I finally decided to talk to my GP about getting finasteride, I asked her if I could have a prescription for 5mg as I was planning to split the pills and assured her I had researched all the side effects etc. she told me that she wasn't allowed to prescribe me 5mg but was able to give me a private prescription for 1mg which I wasn't really happy about as I can't really afford the extortionate prices of Propecia.

So I went to boots/superdrug, other pharmacies and tried to see if could get 5mg fin with a 1mg prescription but they weren't having any of it and said they could only prescribe me with the 1mg pills which were propecia and costed around £40-50 for a months supply (cant really afford).

I was wondering:

1. Is there any way I can get a prescription for 5mg? (maybe there's some GPs that don't mind giving the prescription if you give a good enough excuse... i'm based in London)

2. If I can't get a prescription for 5mg, is there any other way I can get 5mg fin? Either using my 1mg prescription to get 5mg or otherwise is there anywhere online that doesn't require a prescription and is relatively cheap and safe to buy from?

3. Another alternative: Are there any pharmacies that have a cheap 1mg version of fin? I wouldn't mind getting 1mg fin if it wasn't so expensive, but every pharmacy I've been in seems to only stock propecia... maybe there's some random places like a tesco pharmacy that stocks something cheaper that isnt branded?

Cheers.

My GP prescribes me 5mg...infact every GP at my practise have and theres 7 doctors in total so i would try another GP. I could be lucky i don't know but there are doctors that will prescribe it out there. Good luck dude

What exactly did you say to your gp to get them to prescribe a drug to be used for another purpose? (I'm going to ask mine)

I got it before I had my repair HTs but told them how depressed my hairloss was making me feel and they gave me it without question dude.....I've been getting it ever since no problems.

Maybe tell them you've had a HT and stress how important keeping your hair is to you.
