Which route fits you
Already have a doctor
Ask for a generic finasteride 1 mg prescription and send it to a discount pharmacy. A 90-day fill is the cheapest per month in our table.
Want an online consult
Telehealth plans include the visit and delivery. Longer plans cost less per month but are often billed upfront; check the cancellation terms.
Want to avoid prescriptions
There's no OTC finasteride in the US. OTC options are on the minoxidil and supplements & OTC pages.
What to watch for
- Dose normalization. We compare the 1 mg daily dose. Some people are prescribed 5 mg tablets to split; that's a prescriber decision and we don't price it as a 1 mg equivalent.
- Subscription traps. "Per month" prices on 6- and 12-month plans are often charged upfront and renew automatically. First-order discounts (Keeps showed 30% off) don't apply to renewals.
- Generic vs brand. Generic finasteride contains the same active ingredient as Propecia. Every row here is generic unless stated.
- Pharmacy fees. Cost Plus prices include a $5 pharmacy fee; shipping ($5.25 per order) is added in our per-month math.
