Propecia and Minoxidil can possibly put you into a shedding phase, which will be short lived. Don’t be alarmed. Keep on the track you are on.

Loss of ‘permanent’ hair from a previous hair transplant is very, very unusual. I would expect that the answer to your problem lies in your donor area now. If you lost 50% of the hair transplants, then you should have lost 50% of the hair population in the donor area. I have seen men develop […]
I have no patients that have complained of shedding from Propecia, yet I have been asked about it in emails via this blog a few times. I probably have more patients on Propecia than any doctor in California, so I find it interesting to hear about the shedding problem that is reported to me here. […]
When you split a pill, the inside is then explosed to environmental factors like humidity. I would not split the pill prior to use.
The effect of Propecia on sexual dysfunction may be temporary, but if they continue for more than a couple of months, then it may prevail. This would only be assuming that the Propecia is the cause of your sexual problem. You can stop Propecia for a month and see if it makes a difference, or […]
Male pattern baldness is never normal for the young man who wants to be hairy, but it is normal for your genetics. You are probably experiencing further hair loss and it could go through bouts of rapid loss. It is best to visit a doctor for thorough evaulation of your hair loss pattern by using […]
Thanks for your comments on the Man Show. I fully enjoyed doing this as well as many other similar programs. According to the New England Journal of Medicine (Volume 349:1569-1572 October 16, 2003 Number 16, Prevention of Prostate Cancer with Finasteride) there was only one case of male breast cancer in this study group of […]
Every man over 25 knows that their penis does not behave like it did when we were 15. There is an interconnection between our erections and our sex drive. If our erection is not strong enough, if we do not last long enough, or recover fast enough, then what we may call erection problems (Erectile […]
There is no danger to your partner from finasteride (Propecia) by having unprotected sex while you are taking this drug. Propecia’s manufacturer, Merck, does not warn of problems in this regard. The question I am often asked is whether unprotected sex and pregnancy could cause problems for a man on Propecia. I believe that the […]
I am fairly sure that you are not losing hair transplants, but what you are seeing may reflect poor cleansing of the recipient area where the scabs stayed on too long. Without seeing you, I am assuming that what you are seeing is the hair from within the old grafts that is coming out (the […]
RK19 is a product that sells over the counter and can therefore be purchased from their website. Minoxidil can also be purchased without a prescription. Propecia, on the other hand, does require a doctor’s prescription. I have no personal experience with RK19, but after reviewing the photographs, I am more than concerned. The blonde picture […]
I have no information on Regenix in the way of clinical evidence (Tier 1 evidence) at the level of proven FDA approved treatments such as Minoxidil (Rogaine) or Finasteride (Propecia), nor are there any head-to-head trials comparing these sorts of treatments (who would pay for possibly proving someone else has a better treatment?). If someone […]
What are we coming to? Today’s Olympic athlete now must give up Propecia if they want to compete. According to today’s New York Times (1/19/06), Zach Lund is an Olympic athlete who is prematurely balding and he wanted hair. “So in 1999, when he was 20, he began taking Propecia. Then in 2004 he switched […]
To the best of my memory, the drug finasteride was derived by work done in primitives who ate a tuber that was unique to the rain forest and contained this drug. I am not familiar with other foods that contain it. The high incidence of hermaphrodites in the population is what clued explorers into the […]
I’ll answer your questions in order and they are all good questions; Protein supplements will not change how Propecia works, namely, by blocking DHT formation. I WOULD warn you against taking any steroids which conceivably could alter hormone levels and diminish the benefits of the Propecia. The sexual side effects of propecia are often temporary, […]
