Good to hear that generic prices of medications are making medications affordable. This may help many people who do not like cutting the 5mg finasteride in quarter sections. It seems counter intuitive but the 5mg finasteride is still less expensive since you take only 1/4 of it daily for the treatment of androgenic alopecia. Finasteride […]

First and foremost you need a correct diagnosis of your hair loss. Second you need to see a doctor and understand treatment options available. Third Propecia does not usually work for frontal hair line loss and it does not usually reverse corner hair loss either. If you are demonstrating the appearance of a maturing hair […]
Propecia is a great drug (the only FDA approved oral drug) that really works for male pattern balding. But it doesn’t always completely stop the balding process. Your genetic predisposition will eventually win out. Some men do have great long term effects. The sexual side effect of libido or erection associated with Propecia is about […]
We occasionally hear about it with Rogain use but there is no “shedding period” with Propecia. If you stop taking Propecia for several months (6+ months), you will experience “catch up” hair loss where you lose the hairs that benefited from Propecia. Catch up hair loss basically means you will catch up to where your […]
In general brand name drugs and generic drugs are the same. The difference is the cost, color, or shape of the pill. The active drug ingredient is the same. I personally cannot guarantee this but most of the patients use the generic form of Propecia and do well. I hear (rather read) on occasion on […]
According to WebMD, “Beta-sitosterol is a substance found in plants. Chemists call it a “plant sterol ester.” It is found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. It is used to make medicine”. It is not a drug. In general hair loss in men is genetic and there is no stopping it. There are medications such […]
Thank you for following BaldingBlog but there are some key misconception and understanding in your question. Propecia (finasteride) does not halt hair loss forever but often slows it down, particularly in younger men. Genetic male pattern balding will take its course and you will continue to lose hair over time. Some men will have great […]
I believe there are some misconceptions here I would like to clear up. Male Pattern Balding is a genetic condition in men. In other words if a man was born with the gene(s) for MPB, he will have a hair loss in a certain predictable “pattern” (thus the term Male Pattern Balding). Scientist have found […]
Everyone is different in the way they respond to medication (any medication). Some patients rapidly lose hair despite being on Propecia. Some patients hold on to their hair for many years on Propecia. You won’t know unless you try. The younger you are, the better you will see the impact of this drug. If you […]
Propecia works for genetic androgenic alopecia not DUPA (Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia). Some patients may have both DUPA (hair loss throughout the entire scalp) and androgenic alopecia and in this case it may help (for the androgenic cause). Each and every case is different and as always you need to have a good diagnosis and a […]
I’m not sure about the reasoning behind your question, but I don’t think a high fiber diet will affect your hair or how your medication gets absorbed.
Deformed penises are not uncommon. They could be a symptom of Peyronies disease (https://www.mypeyronies.com/symptoms-of-peyronies.html). I think your question is best fit for your urologist who should be well versed in finasteride. I personally do not think finasteride will impact the straightening of the penis.
Hair loss or balding in men is mainly due to genetic predisposition/ inheritance. It may not follow an exact father to son path but it is nevertheless a genetic trait. There are medications such as Propecia or Rogain to address the genetic male pattern balding and it works better in some men. However it does […]
The recommended dose of Propecia (finasteride) for the treatment of genetic male pattern balding is one (1mg) pill a day. This is because the medication only lasts in your blood stream for a few hours. You should just ask your army doctor for their recommendation. Since the finasteride ‘fixes’ to the tissues and that fixation […]
Although finasteride 1 mg per day(Propecia) is the recommended dose, a slightly increased dose (cutting a Proscar 5mg in quarters to make it 1.25mg) will be as good as a 1mg dose per day. Even 2.5mg or 5mg should be of no issue with respect to the treatment for androgenic alopecia, other than a small […]
