How this was calculated

Matched NADAC product codes to the FDA NDC Directory, kept finished single-ingredient products, and listed the product descriptions with the most package codes. The earlier price is the same package code in the file one year before.

Scope: Propecia (brand-name finasteride) in the weekly NADAC file of 2026-11-11, compared with the file of 2025-11-12

NADAC is the average invoice price retail pharmacies pay, from a voluntary survey. It leaves out rebates, dispensing fees and markups, and it is not what a patient or insurer pays. Compounded products are not surveyed.
