If Propecia Shedding Occurs, How Noticeable Is It?

I been reading about the shedding that may happen with Propecia in the beginning of treatment in the blogs and on the Propecia site. If it’s gonna happen, will the shedding be noticeable or I’ll just lose a little more hair a day then I should? Also is it a rare or common thing to shed with Propecia? Right now my thinning ain’t visible to people but I know it’s there I would really be upset if Propecia will make my hair thinner in the beginning.

In the many years in practice and being one of the largest Propecia prescribers (according to Merck) in California, I do not remember one case of shedding reported by my patients. I do believe it does happen because of the large number of people who report it to me on this blog, but I suspect it is far less common than the reports you can find on the Internet seems to suggest it is. As I have not seen it in my patients, I really do not know the answer to your question, but I suspect it may vary all over the place from minimal to substantial.
