community FYI: Amazon one gives DUT prescriptions.
Dutasteride can be obtained through Amazon for $13.60 a month with Prime, and some users prefer it over finasteride due to its effectiveness and similar side effects. Finasteride is also available for $16 for a 3-month supply, and some users report no side effects, while others experience issues like tenderness and swelling.
community PSA: If you're using one of the commercialized subscription services for oral finasteride in the USA, then you should check Amazon for a cheaper prescription
Switching to Amazon for finasteride prescriptions can save money, with a 90-day supply costing around $17 for Prime members. Oral minoxidil requires monitoring, so a local doctor is needed for that prescription.
