    Hi, I am experiencing hair loss and want to know if the drug Finasteride (Propecia/Proscar) can be prescribed in Ireland and if it can be, what is the approximate cost? Thanks in advance.

    It's sold as Fintrid here. It only comes in 5mg as its intended for treating enlarged prostate.

    You'll need to cut it into quarters or more and take it in the recommended ~1mg dose. The pill is quite small so it's tricky.

    You can get a prescription from webdoctor.ie, some more info on there https://www.webdoctor.ie/hair-loss

    Is it recommended by Irish GP's in general? It does have it's detractors.
