Finasteride<\/span><\/a> is a generic prescription tablet that treats an <\/span>enlarged prostate<\/span> (<\/span>benign prostatic hyperplasia<\/span><\/a>) or <\/span>male pattern hair loss<\/span> (<\/span>androgenetic <\/span>alopecia<\/span><\/a>). Dosages are different for each condition: doctors typically prescribe 5 mg once-daily tablets for BPH and 1 mg once-daily tablets for male pattern baldness. The average retail price for a 90-day supply of finasteride is $247. There are over-the-counter alternatives for male pattern baldness, but not for an enlarged prostate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How much does <\/span>finasteride<\/span> cost without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

People taking <\/span>finasteride<\/span> for <\/span>male pattern hair loss<\/span> or those without adequate <\/span>insurance coverage<\/span> can expect to pay the full <\/span>retail price<\/span> for <\/span>finasteride<\/span>. The average <\/span>retail price<\/span> for a 90-day supply of 1 mg <\/span>finasteride<\/span> tablets is $247. Finasteride 5 mg tablets for an enlarged prostate cost about the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To save money, patients taking <\/span>finasteride<\/span> for hair thinning may want to try other treatment options first, like over-the-counter <\/span>Rogaine<\/span> or its <\/span>generic version<\/span>, <\/span>minoxidil<\/span>. Unlike <\/span>finasteride<\/span>, which is taken as a tablet once per day, <\/span>minoxidil<\/span> is a topical medication that is applied to the scalp twice per day. A single bottle of <\/span>minoxidil<\/span> topical solution usually lasts for around one month if the medication is used as directed. It may not work as well, so ask the prescriber for medical advice before switching.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the cost of <\/span>5-alpha reductase inhibitors<\/span> is challenging, the healthcare provider may recommend <\/span>alpha blockers<\/span><\/a> for BPH. Many generic alpha blockers are less expensive than <\/span>finasteride<\/span> and <\/span>dutasteride<\/span>. In some BPH treatment plans, <\/span>healthcare professionals<\/span> may prescribe <\/span>finasteride<\/span> or <\/span>dutasteride<\/span> with an alpha blocker<\/span><\/a> to treat <\/span>BPH<\/span>. There are no OTC drugs or supplements that are recommended in place of prescription <\/span>BPH<\/span> medications to treat an <\/span>enlarged prostate<\/span>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Finasteride costs by dose<\/span><\/h2>\n

The finasteride dosage strength generally does not affect the retail price. However, a 90-day supply may be cheaper per tablet than a 30-day supply, depending on the pharmacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Is <\/span>finasteride<\/span> covered by insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Commercial health <\/span>insurance plans<\/span>, <\/span>Medicare<\/span> drug plans, and Medicaid typically cover the <\/span>cost of finasteride<\/span> as a tier-one or preferred medication when it is prescribed for an <\/span>enlarged prostate<\/span>. However, <\/span>insurance plans<\/span> are unlikely to cover the <\/span>cost of finasteride<\/span> when it is used to treat <\/span>male pattern hair loss<\/span>. Copay and other costs will vary by insurance plan. You can check with your specific health insurance plan for more information about costs and coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get finasteride covered by insurance<\/span><\/h3>\n

If an insurance company turns down a finasteride prescription, it\u2019s either because it\u2019s been prescribed for male pattern hair loss or for an <\/span>off-label condition<\/span><\/a> such as female pattern hair loss, excessive hair growth in premenopausal women (who are not pregnant), prostate surgery, or transgender hormone therapy. For some of these issues, like male pattern hair loss, the denial may be difficult to reverse. For other uses, ask the doctor to submit a formulary exception. This is similar to a <\/span>prior authorization<\/span><\/a> and requires a letter of medical necessity.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get <\/span>finasteride<\/span> without insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n

Finasteride<\/span> is relatively inexpensive, but the price can add up over time. Without sufficient <\/span>insurance coverage<\/span>, people prescribed <\/span>finasteride<\/span> for <\/span>hair loss<\/span> may find themselves paying the full <\/span>cash price<\/span> for months or years. There are no manufacturer\u2019s coupons, patient assistance programs, or savings programs that can make <\/span>finasteride<\/span> more affordable. There are, however, other ways to save money on a <\/span>finasteride<\/span> prescription, starting with a SingleCare <\/span>prescription savings<\/span> card.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Use a SingleCare discount card to purchase <\/span>finasteride<\/span><\/h3>\n

By taking a <\/span>SingleCare discount card<\/span><\/a> to a participating pharmacy, a 90-day <\/span>finasteride<\/span> 1 mg or 5 mg prescription could cost as little as $13 at Kroger. Be sure to sign up for <\/span>SingleCare\u2019s loyalty program<\/span><\/a> to earn bonus savings on refills and future drug purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Do some price shopping<\/span><\/h3>\n

Prescription medications<\/span> can be much cheaper at some local pharmacies compared to others. <\/span>Finasteride<\/span> is no exception. Finding the lowest <\/span>finasteride price<\/span> will make it easier to pay for the prescription month after month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Switch to OTC <\/span>minoxidil<\/span><\/h3>\n

If <\/span>generic finasteride<\/span> is being taken for <\/span>male pattern baldness<\/span>, consider switching to OTC <\/span>minoxidil<\/span>, the <\/span>generic version<\/span> of <\/span>Rogaine<\/span>. It is true, though, that some people end up on <\/span>finasteride<\/span> because treatment with <\/span>minoxidil<\/span> does not improve their condition. However, if <\/span>minoxidil<\/span> hasn\u2019t been tried, it certainly costs a lot less than <\/span>finasteride<\/span>. With a SingleCare <\/span>Minoxidil<\/span> for Men coupon<\/span><\/a>, a one-<\/span>month supply<\/span> can cost only a few dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Ask the prescriber about combination <\/span>BPH<\/span> drugs<\/span><\/h3>\n

If a <\/span>healthcare professional<\/span> has prescribed <\/span>finasteride<\/span> and another drug for <\/span>enlarged prostate<\/span>, ask if a cheaper combination drug is available. Combination <\/span>BPH<\/span> drugs typically combine a drug like <\/span>finasteride<\/span> or <\/span>dutasteride<\/span> with an alpha blocker so that treatment can be taken as a single tablet or capsule. A combination drug may be more affordable than buying two separate drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expert takeaway<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cFinasteride can cause harm to an unborn baby if a woman is exposed to it during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or can become pregnant, you should never handle a broken finasteride tablet,\u201d says Karen Berger, Pharm.D., and member of the SingleCare medical review board. She goes on to say, \u201cThe medicine could be absorbed into your skin. If you accidentally come into contact with a broken or crushed finasteride tablet, you should wash the area thoroughly with soap and water right away.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For an enlarged prostate, <\/span>dutasteride<\/span> is an alternative to <\/span>finasteride. <\/span>Both <\/span>dutasteride<\/span> and <\/span>finasteride<\/span> belong to a class of drugs called <\/span>5-alpha reductase inhibitors<\/span><\/a>. They both block the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the form of testosterone responsible for BPH. However, generic <\/span>dutasteride<\/span> usually costs more than <\/span>finasteride<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
