My Experiences With Propecia: Introduction
Start
There has been a lot of recent press about the hair loss wonder drug known as Propecia. The news about Propecia is that it seems to work in a large number of cases for the men who take it. Unfortunately, because of known side effects, Propecia is not available for women (as of 9/98).
Whenever there is a new drug like Propecia, a lot of people are willing to try it without the benefit of knowing whether it works or not.
In those situations it is always best, when possible, to get the first hand experience of a regular user of the drug. The Hair Boutique’s hair loss expert, Spencer David Kobren, has had a lot of experience with Propecia and it has worked very well for him.
We decided that we wanted to hear feedback directly from a new user of Propecia. We felt that a new user could give us current information on using this new hair loss drug. The Hair Boutique recently asked one of our regular guest authors to write about his new experiences with Propecia.
Dave Decker shares with the Hair Boutique visitors what he has experienced since he started taking Propecia.
While Dave has very long hair, he has reported “that hair loss is also a concern”.
Dave states that “I feel fortunate that my hair loss has been progressing very slowly. If male relatives (genetics) are any indication, my prognosis is both good and bad. Bad in that I won’t be able to keep all of my hair, but good in that I will be able to keep most of it. All of my elder male relatives have hair that has thinned on top, but none have gone bald on top.”
