Important Information About PROPECIA

You may need to take PROPECIA daily for 3 months or more before you see a benefit from taking PROPECIA. If PROPECIA has not worked for you within 12 months, further treatment is unlikely to be of benefit.

PROPECIA can only work over the long term if you continue taking it. If you stop taking PROPECIA, you will likely lose any hair you have gained within 12 months of stopping treatment.

Although results will vary, generally you will not be able to grow back all the hair you have lost.


Take 1 tablet by mouth each day, with or without food.
Know the facts. PROPECIA is available by prescription only, so the best thing to do is talk with your doctor.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
