Prices for Propecia and finasteride were remarkably stable at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart during the second half of 2020.
Average prices for Propecia and its generic equivalent, finasteride, at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart ended the second half of 2020 almost exactly where they began the six-month period in July. Prices at all three pharmacies started 2020 with a healthy 50% price cut for Propecia and nearly 75% price cut for finasteride, both of which held steady.
Prices dipped by another 10% or so starting in April, but this discount quickly dried up and prices returned to the low-to-mid $4 range for Propecia 1 mg. Generic finasteride prices have held steady ever since at all three pharmacies.
Propecia and finasteride are arguably the most effective treatments to combat male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. Thenoted that these medications “have been clinically proven to successfully treat hair loss in men to varying degrees.” In some cases, men treated with these drugs have experienced an end to hair loss, while in others, hair loss not only stops but some hair regrows as well.
At CVS, the average price for Propecia began the second half at $4.33 per 1 mg tablet in July. It’s remained at that price through the first quarter of 2021
Similarly, CVS’s price for finasteride 1 mg began and ended the second half of 2020 at $2.70, where it’s remained
Following the same pattern seen at CVS, Walgreens price for 1 mg Propecia began the second half at $4.35 in July and ended it at the same price in December. Walgreens is the most expensive between the three pharmacies but only by pennies.
Walgreens price for 1 mg finasteride was $2.58 in both December and March.
Displaying their usual propensity for undercutting the competition, Walmart’s prices for 1 mg Propecia were consistently the lowest at $4.14 for the entirety of the second half of 2020. That’s remained in place through March.
Finasteride prices at Walmart held steady at the bargain basement price of $1.13 in each month of the second half, producing a completely predictable six-month average of … wait for it … $1.13.
A complete snore-fest at all three major pharmacy retailers? Or a beacon of stability amidst the volatility of literally everything else this year? You decide.
The main culprit behind male pattern baldness is an androgen known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. DHT gradually shrinks hair follicles until they can no longer support hair growth. An enzyme known as 5-alpha-reductase apparently triggers the conversion of testosterone into DHT. Propecia and finasteride combat hair loss by inhibiting this enzyme, thus reducing scalp levels of DHT.

A New Zealand-based dermatologist has been charged with selling the hair loss drug Propecia to men to promote hair growth.
According to a New Zealand News Service report, a man who works at the New Zealand Hair Loss Clinic who was arrested and charged with one count of sale of Propecia was taken into custody by his lawyer.
According to the report, the man said he had a “large pigmentation” on his face and neck, and the “male part” of his hair was completely bald.
The man had told his lawyer that he had been selling the medication to men and women, but the man had not told his lawyer about the product and the product he had ordered from the FDA.
The man had told his lawyer that he had bought Propecia from a website which contained the information about the hair loss drug.
The man said he had ordered Propecia from a website and was told the price was $20 per pill.
The man was arrested and charged with the sale of the hair loss medication. The man is being held in New Zealand's New Zealand Embassy's New Zealand Embassy office and will face a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
In addition to the charge of selling the hair loss drug to men to promote hair growth, the man is being held in New Zealand's Department of Health and the New Zealand Medical Authority.

The man was also arrested and charged with selling Propecia.
The man told the New Zealand Medical Authority:
“I have been buying Propecia for almost a decade and I was told that is where the problem is.
"I have been buying it online and when it came from a site that is not regulated by the FDA, it was a mistake to buy it from a website that is not regulated by the FDA.”
A New Zealand Medical Authority officer said:
“I've been purchasing Propecia for over a decade. I have been using it in a consultation with my doctor. I have seen that Propecia is not safe for me. The FDA has put a very strong warning on Propecia and there is no way I will ever get this drug.
"I have also been buying the Propecia for about a year and I have been dealing with some issues, but I am not going to stop.
"I will not stop buying Propecia and I will not stop using it."
He said:
“I have been trying to get a prescription for Propecia, but it has never worked. I have a lot of experience using it and I am not going to stop. If I would have been more confident in it, I would have stopped.
"I would have been more confident in the product that I would use in my hair if I could afford it.”

Hi. I’ve been taking propecia and a few other things for about a year. My hair has been back and stronger. I’ve been taking Propecia and am worried that I’ll have a problem again if I use the new brand. Does anyone know if there is any online forum where people can discuss this?
Hi, I’m a newbie and am still struggling with hair loss. I started using Propecia after a conversation with my doctor and was told it might be because of the treatment, and not because of any other treatments. I was told it was due to a decrease in hair growth on the crown of the head. It’s hard to tell what the root cause is, but there is some evidence that the medication may be a factor in hair loss and it was not prescribed to me at the time. I was worried that it would be a sign of something more serious, like heart disease or a stroke. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best of luck!
Hi,
It’s hard to tell what’s causing hair loss, but the cause seems to be a combination of hormones and genetics. Propecia is the brand name, and is made by Merck, so you can’t use it without a prescription. You should check the ingredients and the packaging to find out if there are any differences between the brand and generic. If you have any questions, or have a more accurate answer, feel free to reach out to me atmy.sidebar.org.
I was taking Propecia to help with my hair loss. I had a very bad night last night, and it was only a matter of time before I would lose all my hair. I was on the same pill, but I was worried because of the side effects. I did have some hair loss, but it was only temporary. I started to see my doctor on Friday and I noticed the results immediately. I decided to stop taking Propecia and see my doctor on Monday. They said I’d take it a few months but would see if it worked or not. I took a pill that I think was Propecia, and was told that I wouldn’t need to stop using the pill until I saw my doctor. He suggested taking it on an empty stomach, but this has nothing to do with Propecia. I think I’ll take another pill on Friday. My hair is back in better shape than it was before and I’m much more capable of regrowth. My doctor said that it was due to the fact that my body is not producing the hormones that cause hair loss. I was concerned, but nothing worked out. I started to see my doctor again and it’s not clear if that’s the case. He said it was due to the fact that my hair had been getting thicker and fuller and that the hair loss was a problem that needs to be addressed. I was told that I might need to see my doctor again, but he said that it was not a possibility. I decided to have a conversation with my doctor and they suggested I try some natural hair loss treatments. They are good, but I had no idea that there could be other causes. I have been looking into supplements and trying a lot of supplements with no success. I’ve heard that minoxidil and finasteride can be taken together, and that there are supplements that are more effective at promoting hair growth. I’m trying to find out if they are safe to take together, or if there are other treatments I could try. I’m not a big fan of minoxidil. I’ve heard that it can cause side effects, and I’ve taken finasteride as well. I’ve noticed that hair loss in women can be caused by a hormonal change. However, there’s also a risk of developing certain types of baldness. Minoxidil and finasteride have some side effects. It can also cause sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction and decreased libido. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at
Hello. I was taking propecia for some reasons. It’s been a few months, and my hair loss started after the first dose. The treatment started working for me, but it seemed that my hair would go back in the normal shape and I wouldn’t notice any problems at all.
