Read the Companion row before deciding. A paid GoodRx membership brings finasteride to $5 at two of the three chains we checked — which beats us outright. If you already pay for Companion, or fill several prescriptions through it, buy this one at home.
Against the free coupon the overseas route is about 3× cheaper, and this is a daily, indefinite medication where that compounds. The 180-count tier is where the saving lives.
