Frequently asked questions

What's the cash price for Finasteride (Finasteride) in the US?

Our most recent US pharmacy data shows a low of roughly $11.33 for Finasteride with a standard discount card. That figure moves with dosage and quantity — check the comparison table for the exact combination you need.

Is Finasteride (Finasteride) available through Cost Plus Drugs?

Yes — Cost Plus Drugs lists Finasteride at roughly $0.024 per unit, a published price with no membership card or coupon involved. See the three-price comparison above for how that stacks up against discount-card pharmacies.

What do Canadian pharmacies charge for Finasteride (Finasteride)?

We found Canadian pricing for Finasteride starting near $0.180 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.

Why is Finasteride (Finasteride) priced differently in the US and Canada?

Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.

How is the cost of Finasteride determined with health insurance?

The amount you pay for Finasteride with insurance depends entirely on your specific plan's formulary, copay, and deductible structure. You should contact your insurance provider to get details on your coverage and expected out-of-pocket cost. If your plan does not cover the medication or your copay is high, you may be able to use a pharmacy savings card or ask your pharmacist to check for applicable coupons to lower the cash price.

Is Finasteride covered under Medicare, and what might it cost?

Medicare Part D plans typically cover Finasteride when it is prescribed for its FDA-approved use to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Coverage for male pattern hair loss is generally not included. Your cost will vary based on your plan's deductible, copay, and coverage phase. If you face high out-of-pocket costs, discussing alternative payment options with your pharmacist, such as applying a prescription discount, may help reduce the price.

What are the brand names for Finasteride?

Finasteride is available as a generic medication produced by several manufacturers. It is also sold under the brand names Propecia and Proscar. Propecia contains 1 mg of finasteride and is indicated for treating male pattern hair loss. Proscar contains 5 mg of finasteride and is used for treating symptoms of BPH.
