Male pattern hair loss is a common condition in which men experience thinning of the hair on the scalp. Often, this results in a receding hairline and/or balding on the top of the head. These changes typically
begin gradually in men in their 20s. Doctors believe male pattern hair loss is due to heredity and is dependent on hormonal effects. Doctors refer to this type of hair loss as androgenetic alopecia. Results of clinical studies:
For 12 months, doctors studied over 1800 men aged 18 to 41 with mild to moderate amounts of ongoing hair loss. Of these men, approximately 1200 with hair loss at the top of the head participated in additional extension studies, resulting in a total study time of up to five years. In general, men who took Propecia Pill
maintained or increased the number of visible scalp hairs and noticed improvement in their hair in the first
year. Improvement, compared to the start of the study, was maintained through the remaining years of treatment. Hair counts in men who did not take Propecia Pill
continued to decrease. In one study, patients were questioned on the growth of body hair. Propecia Pill
did not appear to affect hair in places other than the scalp.
Will Propecia Pill
work for me? For most men, Propecia Pill
increases the number of scalp hairs in the first year of treatment, helping to fill in thin or balding areas of the scalp. In addition, men taking Propecia Pill
may note a slowing of hair loss. Although results will vary, generally you will not be able to grow back all of the hair you have lost. There is
not sufficient evidence that Propecia Pill
works in the treatment of receding hairline in the temporal area on both sides of the head. Propecia Pill

worked for you in twelve months, further treatment is unlikely to be of benefit. If you stop taking Propecia Pill
