Answer: Can Finasteride/Propecia Stop Hair Loss For Life? The answer is no. And in fact it won't even stop it completely now. Finasteride/Propecia is rated to block only 60% of DHT (the main culprit behind hair loss). That's like getting a D on your test. Luckily we now have more effective medicines available. I have a great article on my page regarding why we should stop using Propecia for hair loss now. Feel free to check it out.

Answer: Can finasteride hold things for life? No, finasteride won't hold things for life but yes if you are actually a great responder (not all men are), it could pause things for a very long time. Some men do very well on finasteride and have a halting of hair loss for a decade or more. Thereafter, there can be a slow loss. Responses to finasteride are highly variable.
