Hello Doc, I have a question. I just got a new packet of Proscar from a known pharmacy. However, I’m thinking I’ve gotten fake Proscar. Does Proscar taste sweet? Because I cut the tablet into quarter and when I crushed part of it (due to bad cutting) and dissolved on my tongue it tasted sweet like it just a sugar tablet.
If its fake what should I do?? Thanks doc!!
There’s no taste chart for finasteride that I know of, and I’ve never chewed it, so I couldn’t tell you if it’s fake based on taste. I would always swallow my pills with a water chaser. Any readers have finasteride taste stories?
There’s a survey I just read about regarding pill color and perceived taste that you might find interesting — How Does The Color Of A Pill Affect Its Efficacy?.
Mine’s always been bitter as gall.
Proscar is Sweet, that is what the tablet tastes like, not sure about the isolated drug finasteride
