Merck Says 99% of Men Didn’t Lose Hair After 2 Years on Propecia

Just wondering if you could comment on the effectiveness of Propecia. The official website for the drug states that 99% of men who took it did not lose any hair after 2 years. If this is true, then why have I read in other places that propecia doesn’t work for 10-15% of men?

I verified the 99% on the Propecia site — 5 out of 535 lost hair, which is 1% of the study. I would tend to believe Merck, who is under scrutiny from shareholders and the FDA, before I’d believe the various sensationalist writers on various forums that state “facts” as they see it, not like it is. I don’t know where you got the 10-15% figure from.
