Reviews for Finasteride to treat Androgenetic Alopecia

Propecia (finasteride): At the tender age of 25, I noticed that my hair was beginning to thin. Not wanting to look like my dad or brother, I got a prescription for Propecia. So far, it's been working. In fact, if I miss a dosage, I'll notice little bits of my hair fall into my keyboard or the pages of a book I'm reading! Yes, this medication is expensive. My insurance won't cover it at all. (Funny that they cover Viagra, though). The only side effect is that I do notice a slight decrease in my sex drive - but honestly that's probably good. Keeps me out of trouble.

Propecia (finasteride): I started suffering from hair loss just recently. My doctor prescribed me this medicine. After 1 month of using it, my hair doesn't fall any more. Until now I continue using it and there's no other side effects. This medicine is so amazing!

Propecia (finasteride): After 1 month of using Propecia, I noticed a decrease in the loss of hair after a shower. Now in my 4th month of use, there is a notable difference in the thickness of my hair, and some growth noted!

finasteride: I've used it for roughly 1.5 yrs now and it seems to be still working; of course there's the whole placebo effect, but this stuff is decent. Worst thing about it is it costs a lot, $2/pill. Make sure you don't miss too many doses or it will take a while to start working again (takes a month in the beginning). I haven't noticed any side-effects that I could link to this drug. Hope this helps.

finasteride: I am 22 and I had some hair loss. I have started using this medicine and right away after starting (less than a week!) I noticed that I have hair loss no more. Even when I intentionally try to pull my hair out! For help to grow new hair, well I have used this medicine for about 4 months and I can say YES it works but gradually.
