Propecia shedding: When I start Propecia I lost all my minoxidil gains.

Question

Is it possible to propecia spped up the balding process

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There is initial shedding with Propecia. It will take up to 6 months to see results. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone which can help with hair regrowth and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

This is a known report and it eventually reverses giving you the gains from finasteride over time. I can't comment on the shed of your minoxidil dependent hair. The effects of finasteride (Propecia) tka a good year for the benefits, and two yours to maximize the full value for this drug
