I Shed Hair Twice from Propecia

Hi,

I’m currently on propecia which I started 6 months ago. I experienced a shed in the 2nd month lasting for 2 months which stopped and my hair started growing in the temple region. Its good for a month or so and I’m experiencing a shed again, this time mainly on the top of my head. Is this normal – to have shedding twice? or have my body gotten immune to the pills? Pls advice if I should carry on the medication. I’m 26 by the way.

You must have had a doctor prescribe you the Propecia and you should be going to that doctor for this type of advice. I would need to see you, map out your hair for miniaturization and it would have been best to do this before you started the Propecia so we could understand what is happening to you. Better late than never, so get back to your doctor for the advice you seek. I can’t tell you whether to stop or start a prescription drug that I didn’t prescribe to you. I don’t think you’re immune to the medication, though.
