Finasteride 5mg price?

Finasteride 5 mg is usually sold in single‑tablet bottles of 30 or 90 tablets.
Because the price can vary a lot depending on where you live, whether you have insurance, and whether you buy brand‑name (Propecia®) or generic, the figures below are just ball‑park ranges that have been seen in the United States as of early 2024.

| Product | Approx. Retail Price (US) | Typical Price with Insurance/Discount |
|---------|---------------------------|----------------------------------------|
| Generic finasteride 5 mg (30‑tablet bottle) | $8–$16 | $2–$6 (often 1–2 % copay) |
| Brand‑name Propecia® 5 mg (30‑tablet bottle) | $20–$30 | $10–$15 (copay 10–20 %) |

If you’re buying online or from a pharmacy that uses the GoodRx discount program, you might see prices that are a bit lower (generics can go as low as $5–$7 for a 30‑tablet bottle).

How to get an accurate price:

1. Check your prescription benefit manager (PBM) or pharmacy benefit manager if you have insurance.
2. Use pharmacy discount cards like GoodRx, SingleCare, or Blink Health.
3. Call local pharmacies and ask for the price of a 30‑tablet bottle of 5 mg finasteride (generic).
4. Ask your prescriber whether a generic option is appropriate; many prescribers can write a generic prescription to save you money.

Quick tip: If you’re on a 5 mg dose for hair loss or BPH, you’ll generally need a 30‑tablet bottle to last a month. If you’re on a lower dose (e.g., 1 mg for hair loss), the price per tablet is roughly the same, but you’ll need fewer tablets per month.

Disclaimer: Prices can fluctuate due to pharmacy pricing strategies, insurance formulary changes, and regional cost variations. Always verify with the pharmacy or insurer for the most up‑to‑date numbers.
