PROPECIA is the only once-a-day pill that has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of certain types of hair loss in men. And most importantly, it’s been demonstrated to be generally effective in FDA-reviewed clinical trials to maintain or improve hair count in most men.
Ask your doctor about PROPECIA today. He or she knows what treatments could work and can determine what might work for you. The sooner you begin treatment, the more hair you may have in the months and years ahead.
If you stop taking PROPECIA, however, you will likely lose any hair you have gained within 12 months.
PROPECIA was developed to treat mild to moderate male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head) in MEN ONLY. There is not sufficient evidence that PROPECIA works for receding hairlines at the temples.
PROPECIA is for the treatment of male pattern hair loss in MEN ONLY and should NOT be used by women or children.
In clinical studies for PROPECIA, a small number of men experienced certain sexual side effects, such as less desire for sex, difficulty in achieving an erection, or a decrease in the amount of semen. Each of these side effects occurred in less than 2% of men and went away in men who stopped taking PROPECIA because of them.
Take PROPECIA daily and you could see results in as little as 3 months. If you stop taking PROPECIA, however, your results will gradually go away over 12 months. And if PROPECIA hasn’t worked in 12 months, further treatment is unlikely to be of benefit.
Although results will vary, generally you will not be able to grow back all the hair you have lost.
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. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
