Propecia, containing finasteride, typically comes as a 1mg tablet. Most men take one tablet daily. Consistent daily use is key for optimal results. Don’t skip doses, even if you experience side effects. Report any persistent side effects to your doctor.
Treatment Duration and Expectations
Hair loss treatment with Propecia requires patience. Results are gradual, often taking several months to become noticeable. Many men see improvement within six months to a year. Continued use is needed to maintain results. Stopping treatment usually leads to hair loss resuming. Your doctor will determine the appropriate treatment length based on your individual needs and response.
Alternative Treatment Approaches
Propecia is often combined with other treatments, such as minoxidil (applied topically). This combined approach can increase the likelihood of successful hair regrowth. Discuss any alternative or complementary treatments with your doctor before starting them.
