After Years on Propecia, Does Hair Loss Start Rapidly?

I keep reading everywhere how many men were able to maintain their hair on Propecia for years and even a decade but they always state that once the drug can’t maintain their hair anymore they start to lose it rapidly! Why is it so? Why can’t it just gradually thin? This really is bad because once it appears the drug wears off before you know it you’re like half bald!

Where are you reading these things? I do not recall seeing any of my patients losing hair “rapidly” after taking Propecia for years… nor do I recall a case where the medication simply “wears off”.

Genetics play a large part in how men lose their hair. Propecia slows it down for all ages of adult men. It sometimes grows hair back and even seems to halt it for some time, but in the long run it is a slow process.
