Going Bald While on Propecia
Do you know of anyone who has been on propecia and still proceeded to go bald?
There is an assumption in the question that Propecia will prevent balding. That is not the case. Propecia slows down the balding process over time, but it will still continue, albeit at a slower rate. If you are (for example) 22 years old and you already are fairly bald, Propecia will not do much for you other then postpone the final balding process. Likewise, if you are 30 and starting to go bald in the front and crown, Propecia will slow it down, but it is possible that you will reach your final balding pattern at 50 rather than 40 (maybe a Class 4 or Class 5 pattern), when you may have been destined to have arrived at your final balding pattern. Only about 7% of the population will develop the most extreme balding pattern (Class 7) and most of these men have most of their balding complete before their 30th birthday.
Does that mean if you take avodart for example will it help you to keep your for a longer amount of time because it is a more potent medication?
