How much does 1 mg finasteride cost?
Finasteride pricing depends mainly on (1) whether it is the branded product or a generic, (2) the tablet strength (including whether you’re buying 1 mg or splitting tablets), (3) the quantity (often 30 vs 90 tablets), and (4) your country and pharmacy.

Is 1 mg finasteride typically the same as Propecia 1 mg?
In many markets, 1 mg finasteride is commonly associated with Propecia’s tablet strength, while lower strengths (like 0.5 mg) are often used for other indications. If you’re seeing 1 mg pricing, it usually lines up with the 1 mg branded product or generic equivalents sold at that dose.
What about cost if you need 5 mg tablets split into 1 mg?
If your pharmacy only has finasteride in 5 mg tablets, some people split tablets to reach 1 mg. That can reduce cost per milligram, but you may want to confirm with a pharmacist about whether splitting is practical for the specific formulation and whether any insurance or blistering options exist.
What I need to give you an exact price
If you share:
1) your country (and city or ZIP, if you want local pricing),
2) whether you mean finasteride 1 mg tablets for hair loss (often 1 mg) or another indication,
3) how many tablets (30 or 90, etc.),
I can narrow down what “1 mg finasteride” typically costs in your area and what the most likely cheaper options are (generic vs branded).
