Is Propecia The Right Medicine For Male Pattern Hair Loss?

default
Posted on Tue, 24 Mar 2015
Question: I've been taking propecia since 2006. About two years ago, it was only available in the form of Finasteride. I started to notice negative results. I finally found propecia from a Canadian company. I've been taking it for about five weeks. Will my hair grow back?

Brief Answer:
It should but success is not guaranteed in all individuals!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this hair loss that you have reported. Propecia is used to fight male pattern hair loss. However, results vary and only the results can be used to say whether it would help you or not. My advise would be that you continue with the drugs and let'e see what the results would be. Keep me updated and send serial pictures to me to follow up on this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
