What Percentage of Men Lose Hair After 5 Years on Finasteride?

I have a question about the post from 12/5 3:35pm. You mention that some people see hair loss continuing again after 5 years on finasteride, while others have been taking finasteride for 10 years without any changes.

Could you quantify these a little, e.g. in your experience, for what % of people who take finasteride and it stops hair loss temporarily does it suddenly pick up again after 5 years, and, in your experience, what % of people who have been taking it for 10+ years did not have hair loss pick up again.

I thought that if Propecia works and successfully stops hair loss, a master plan would consider all the present hair as safe, and allocate potential hair transplants to other areas that have suffered hair loss prior to taking Propecia. In the light of this post, even if Propecia works for a given patient, it seems that despite Propecia, it is possible that hair loss does continue, so one should not deplete all possible donor hair on areas currently affected?

I do not have numeric data for you. Instead of focusing on statistics, try to understand the big picture. If I tell you that 1 percent will have no results, and you happen to be that 1%, it is 100% for you (in your particular case). My main point was that everybody is different and we all try to maximize our chances of keeping our hair. Propecia is one of those things we use to maximize the odds in your favor.
