Please be aware there have been no long term studies on the use of the drug on young men. It was originally for older man in their 60+ range for disorders of the prostate and one side effect of the drugs was regrowth of hair (not in all cases).

Rigth now all men using the drug are the test, to see if there are long term side effects with the use of the drug. The drug was never intended for young men with hair loss. I wish you well and hope there are no side effects for you and you do have regrowth. But with a medications be aware of the long term effects and make your decisions based on being educated and not on emotions.

That’s a very irresponsible response NoCure. The fact is Propecia has been tested extensively and has been used by young men for over 12 years. There have been men who started the drug during clinical trials more than 15 years ago with no documented reports of long term adverse side effects to date. I’m not sure where you’re getting your facts from, but if this young man wants to help himself, he needs to go to the professional and discuss his options.
