PROPECIA begins to work from Day 1
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007PROPECIA has been demonstrated effective in most men. In fact, in FDA-reviewed clinical trials, 2 out of 3 men on PROPECIA regrew hair, as measured by actual hair counts; whereas all the men in the study not taking PROPECIA lost hair. The convenient, once-a-day pill works from Day 1 to lower the amount of DHT in your scalp.
DHT is a substance in the body that can shrink the hair follicle until it no longer produces visible hair. Scientists believe DHT and family history are key factors in hair loss.
Although results will vary, generally you will not be able to grow back all the hair you have lost.
If you start taking PROPECIA you may see a decrease in hair loss beginning in as little as 3 months. And by 6 to 12 months, you may see new hair growth. If PROPECIA doesn’t work for you after 12 months, it is unlikely to be of benefit. If you stop taking PROPECIA, you will likely lose any hair you’ve gained within 12 months of stopping treatment. PROPECIA has been used by more than 1 million men in the United States since the drug’s introduction in 1998.
