Although some men notice a difference in as little as 3 months of starting treatment with PROPECIA, most men have to use PROPECIA for at least 6 months before seeing visible results.
PROPECIA can work over the long term only if you continue taking it. If you stop taking PROPECIA, you will likely lose any hair you have gained within 12 months of stopping treatment.
You will need to take PROPECIA for as long as you want to grow or maintain your hair. It’s important to stick with PROPECIA for at least 12 months to judge how well it’s working for you.
After 2 years of treatment:
99% of men had visible results (growth or no further hair loss).a
66% had hair growth
33% had no further hair loss
1% had a visible decrease of hair
After 5 years of treatment:
90% of men had visible results (growth or no further hair loss).b
48% (134 of 279) had hair regrowth with PROPECIA
42% (117 of 279) had no further hair loss with PROPECIA
10% (28 of 279) had a visible decrease of hair

a–Based on a 24 month study of 535 men taking PROPECIA.
b–In the same study after 5 years of treatment with PROPECIA among 279 men. Results based on global photographic assessment of the top of the head by an independent panel of dermatologists.
PROPECIA significantly reduces DHT, a key cause of hair loss, by inhibiting the formation of DHT in your scalp.
Lowering DHT appears to inhibit the further shrinking of affected hair follicles.
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.
PROPECIA blocks the formation of DHT and, in this way, appears to interrupt the development of male pattern hair loss.
PROPECIA helps reduce further hair loss and regrow visible hair.
PROPECIA is the first and only FDA-approved pill proven to treat male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head) in men.
