Suggest An Alternative Of Avodart

80 yo male. Been using Avodart /Dutestride (sp) successfully for 7 years. Getting the stuff thru military has become a problem and mil mail order is expensive. Also drug store eats up the bucks. Can you suggest a quite similar pill (I do go thru my local dr. of course). Thanks, Nick
