Taking Propecia at 18 Years Old

Hello doc. my family comes from a background of hair loss. Both my brothers experienced this as well at thiis age. I am 18 yrs old and have recently been in fear of hairloss as ive seen more and more hair in the bath and comb. i was wondering if it would be ok to take propecia at such an early age and if it would have long term effects. thanks

Propecia (finasteride) best started early if you are diagnosed as having genetic hair loss. You should first get a diagnosis by having your hair mapped out for miniaturization and then if you do have early balding, by all means, start the drug. Propecia is available by doctor’s prescription only.
