    Procerin Info

    a website called consumer-review.net/hair-loss.html rates a product called procerin higher than propecia, procerin’s website, procerin.com elaborates on their product. I was getting ready to order some procerin, when my wife heard your ad on the radio and I checked out your website, and read about dutasteride. Are you familiar with procerin ? Also could a dermatoligist prescribe dutasteride to patients before it has fda approval ? please advise

    The product you described, like many other similar products, adhere to a very loose standard for the health food additives which are naturally found in the environment. There are many natural herbs that are poisonous as well. There is no requirement for any of these products to prove effectiveness or safety, unlike those that go through the rigorous FDA process. This is the reason that I maintain what I believe is a healthy skepticism for these ‘natural’ products. The same is true for my attitude for prescribing dutasteride for hair loss, which has not been shown to be both safe and effective for hair loss. I am familiar with hearsay reports that the libido impact is greater for dutasteride than with Propecia and the drug has a very long half life, which means that it takes months to get out of your system. If you should take dutasteride and develop a libido problem (for example), it may take 6-12 months for it to rectify, while with Propecia is would disappear in days. I personally would not be against prescribing dutasteride, but I have not done so yet. My motto, like any good doctor’s philosophy must be “Above all, do no harm”.

    Also, it should be noted that the link on that consumer-review.net site you mentioned is an affiliate link to the Procerin site, meaning that Procerin pays that site if people use their link to buy the product. In that regard, it would seem that it’s in that site’s best interest to highly recommend Procerin.

      I was wondering if you had any views on the new Procerin topical solution? I have been trying it for the last two weeks – obviously nothing to report yet in terms of results.

      The use of procerin definitely, without doubt decreases sex drive and adversely affects erection. There are many people who have experienced this. You can search the net for such experiences.

      Even though it is widely published, on the websites, that only around 1.8% of the total people using hair loss prevention/cure products (including PROCERIN), experience sexual side effects, this is not the case and in my opinion most of the users of such remedies do experience sexual side effects. The reason why the quoted percent is so less is that people dont bother to report it back out of embarrasement or due to privacy related issues.

      So please be careful before you try out any hair loss product, your potency is at risk !

      But if you are more concerned about you hair than libido then please go ahead. Some of these remedies do give good results.

      I have used Procerin for more than 2 years and it has effectively helped my hair regrowth.
      I have been using procerin with Minoxidil and whenever I’d stop using procerin, I can clearly see that my hair starts gettig thin.

      I thought i better put my personal experience here….
